Boscolo Nice

A very good hotel, but it could be great! We took 4 rooms for 5 nights. Positives: 1. Location. 2. Cleanliness. 3. Service. 4. Boutique style. 5. Spa - pool, sauna and steam room. 6. Bedrooms are spacious with plenty of room for clothes. 7. Having a pool table. Negatives 1. There is no really nice area to sit and have drinks, read or have afternoon tea. The foyer could be easily redesigned to address this. 2. The breakfast area feels like you’re eating in a bar and is very basic - surprising given the status of hotel. 3. The pool cues are poor - in fact there is only 1. They can be bought off Amazon for €20! 4. On 4 out of 6-days there were no towels in the spa, so you had to take your room ones - this was particular poor given how nice the spa is. 5. The bathrooms in showers in 3 out of 4 rooms are not private - the toilet and shower are open plan with a sliding door on the toilet and a curtain that does not cover the shower glass - this is an issue for friends sharing rooms.

The Nice location is excellent, close to the centre and transport. The rooms are large with all facilities required and are of good value

When we chose this hotel, the online presentation of Boscolo made it look like a luxury property with its own beach club, pool, and rooftop terrace - Unfortunately, we were disappointed. The pool is extremely small, with very few sunbeds and daybeds available. The lobby is beautiful, but the staff behaved strangely. Our room was acceptable, but felt worn and a bit tired. One staff member even asked us, in a strange tone, whether we were actually staying at the hotel and why we were sitting in the lobby late at night. It felt rude and uncomfortable, especially for two well-travelled women who are used to high-quality service. The same employee came into our room uninvited when we called reception to ask for a bottle opener for our Coke, and he told us that the hotel only had his personal opener. Very odd. Also, the hotel does not have a luggage scale, which is surprising for a place marketed as “luxury.” When browsing the hotel online, you get the impression of a high-end luxury experience, but in reality it is not. The only positive note was the housekeeping staff — they were friendly and hardworking, and we appreciated that.

This review relates to the appetisers and drinks we had last night. It was meant to be Italian appetisers but what was presented was a doe light substance and focacia bread and small meat in a salty crumb base which was used able for an upmarket hotel this certainly is unacceptable. Perhaps you need to google like I did what is Italian appetisers I did very poor

5 star lobby The breakfast buffet was large and many choices but I would not pay to have it unless it’s part of your room deal Our room was small with no table or chairs so that is the reason for the 4 star lobby They do have a nice outdoor terrace for drinks Ate at the restaurant once for lunch and didn’t again. Would suggest go down the street there are many restaurants in area
