Disliked: Amenities, property conditions & facilities
Sadly this isn't a mid-range hotel as expected, it is really quite dated and I feel some of the pictures are misleading. We were given a Superior room that had damp on the walls, mould in the shower and really old furniture with a door handle almost hanging off the wardrobe. Felt more like a basic hostel. When we raised this with reception we were able to move to a nicer room with a modern bathroom, it was much smaller though. Also, be aware that only 3 superior rooms have a balcony, so you'd be very lucky to secure one of them. Overall a pretty disappointing experience but it did the job for two nights. The location is the main selling point, everything you need (station, restaurants, Old Town, beach) is within 10 mins walking distance. Breakfast is ok but the room it's served in is very busy and noisy.

This hotel is over priced for what you get. The hotel is old and dated. I had paid for a superior room as this showed having a balcony, on arrival there was no balcony and was told there are only 3 in the whole hotel. I'm my original room there was a horrible smell, paint peeling off the walls and a very dated bathroom. There is a lot of noise from the streets outside and also you can hear people's conversations in other rooms, either they were very loud or the walls are very thin. The breakfast was very poor and on the last day I didn't even eat there. The hotel is not worth the money that is charged.

Perfectly located between Old Nice and the Beach. Lots of services nearby, a breakfast that was more than ample, sidewalk seating for breakfast or drinks. Staff very accommodating, kind and interested.

Very nice for the price
I come to Nice annually; this was my first stay at the Boreal but I would definitely return if it maintains its reasonable pricing. It looked smart and cared for and the desk staff were polite and welcoming. My room was comfortable and a reasonable size for the price. The only downside was the noise on Saturday night with bars and restaurants on the street - but the other nights I was there (till Wednesday) were all no problem.

Be sure to ask where your room is located. My room was in a part of the hotel not serviced by elevator, so I had to carry my suitcase up a flight of winding stairs.

Good location for exploring Nice
Very central and easy check in. Room quite small but managed. Curtain torn and some mould in the bathroom which needs addressing. Air conditioning good and relatively quiet. Breakfast was simple but enough to set us up for a day of exploring beautiful Nice. Only real negative was the advice the reception staff gave in regards to getting a bus to Villefrance-sur-mer; marked the map in entirely the wrong place which led to us wasting 45 minutes searching and walking to get the correct bus stop.

Alexis

Liked: Staff & service
The location was the best part about this property; a short walk to the beach and Old Nice, plus near plenty of good restaurants (and gelato). The lobby of the hotel is nice, but the rooms need a major refresh. Bare walls, weird shower, and generally not very clean. I was traveling with a colleague, and mosquitos somehow made it into both of our rooms and we woke up with bites on our faces. My colleague also found someone's thong in his close (true story). The last negative was that the breakfast was pretty low quality. Not a terrible place to stay, but probably won't be going back.
