Expert reviews
“Crusted with curlicues, swashes and balconies, this magnificent belle-époque mansion looks like the architectural equivalent of a wedding cake. Despite the old-world exterior, inside is one of Nice’s sexiest, smartest design hotels.”
“This 19th-century white palace is one of the only hotels in central Nice to come complete with all the hallmarks of five-star luxury including all-day dining options, a spa and a plush new rooftop pool terrace. There’s even a white Louis-XIV armchair in the lift.”

Great staff, good location, clean
Breakfast was good but could include eggs. Staff is very friendly and accommodating.
Bed has a big change in height in the middle. I understand it works better for you to put two beds together ….. so how about put some effort into making it less noticeable. Web site says the hotel has a steam and sauna in the spa….but you don’t

Boscolo made my stay in Nice the best trip in my life.
Excellent location, right in the heart of Nice and close to all the restaurants. The hotel staff is excellent, and it is without a doubt the nicest place I have ever worked. We had never been treated so wonderfully; champagne and a loving card were waiting for us when we got to room one (this was a special trip for me and my fiancé). What a wonderful experience working with Boscolo! Congrats to the entire staff.
I just had one complaint, and that was regarding the sauna. Wasn't working for repairs, however this is a little concern compared to the wonderful experience. Everything else was flawless, and they pay close attention to every little detail. I highly endorse your visit.

Extremely enjoyable
Beautiful building and gorgeous room.
Nothing about the property was a problem but we were told that no food was being served at the pool. We had planned our last day around eating there before leaving. Girl at pool bar was very dismissive when questioned but staff at reception were excellent and I think sorted out the situation. staff at the pool did not, however, inform us that food was then available.

Good but should have been better with use of all facilities
Location, excellent rooms very clean. Staff very good
The roof top area with pool closing at 5pm. Shame not to be able to use when you have been out discovering Nice and it is closing when you get back very disappointing and one of the main reasons I booked this hotel

Relaxing stay in a beautiful hotel. We would come back.
Lovely spacious rooms. very clean and fresh, fabulous cocktails.
rood top bar restaurant could do with more snack options and pool would be better with sun beds rather than deckchairs

Excellent
Great hotel overall. Superb rooftop restaurant and pool. Managment of the breakfast is very much improved compared to past years.
Room was noisy (street noise) with poor sound insulation.

Fantastic location, still room for improvement within the hotel itself
I've stayed at the Boscolo before - it's a nice hotel, rather expensive for what it is to be fair, but the location is superb. The beds are comfy, the rooms are clean and housekeeping are great. Breakfast is alright but nothing special and certainly not what it looks like on the pictures on Booking.com but you don't go hungry.
Personally I feel that this is a 4 star property that relies on its location for the 5th star. Reception are next to useless - we had a kettle in our room and it took over an hour, three phone calls and a trip to Reception to get a tea bag. I know this is a first world problem, but not one you expect when you pay nearly £1,000 per night for a room. The hotel advertises gluten free options but these are limited to gluten free bread at breakfast and eggs / bacon. The Italian restaurant downstairs advertises gluten free but options are severely limited. Getting into and out of the pool is difficult if you are less mobile as the only access is by some creaky metallic steps that ricochet and creak when any amount of weight is placed on a step, making you wonder if you will actually make it out of the pool without the steps collapsing (this was something of a joke with people sitting around the poolside), but in terms of Health and Safety is a rather worrying concern. If you cannot walk up and down the narrow steps, as some people were unable to do through mobility issues then you are unable to use the pool

Super staff in a great location
Very friendly staff. Good sized rooms and fantastic location. Very dog friendly throughout the hotel which was great
Restaurant over priced for average food but waiting staff excellent Pool didn’t open on time for our morning swim for which the reception team gave us a discount at checkout. A nice touch but would have preferred to have had our planned swim of course.

Great location. Great staff. But the beds aren’t very comfortable!
The room is huge, we liked it a lot. Plus a great location and an amazing staff. And there was a Bidet in the bathroom 👍🏼
The bed wasn’t comfortable to be honest.

Fabulous
The staff and hotel was great. Swimming in roof and spa swimming pool was excellent
The breakfast was not great. Not much choice for continental, additional items had to be paid for which was not good considering this was a 5 star hotel with breakfast included.
