A 3 Star Hotel is not something we would normally consider, but wanting to experience a small, privately owned hotel offering hopefully a traditional French experience, rather than a more generic & typical European City Hotel, and following some research on various internet platforms - we decided to give it a go …… and were NOT disappointed ! This is a quaint, French street hotel in a great location - close to all transport links, shopping, restaurants, Place Masséna, etc & only a 10 minute stroll from the beautiful Nice Promenade. In keeping with its 3 Star rating, the hotel offered clean & tidy (if basic) rooms, pleasant & friendly staff, a perfectly acceptable breakfast with a selection of cold meats, pastries, cheeses, breads, etc along with Bacon, scrambled eggs, coffee and such like - more than ample for anyone & a decent start for a day of exploring the Côte d'Azur. For a city centre hotel & the standard provided - the pricing was very acceptable & breakfast being included was a pleasant bonus. There are a few tables on the pavement outside the hotel, and to sit there with a chilled bottle of Vin Rosé from the small hotel bar & people watch in the pleasant June sunshine for an hour was a pleasant & relaxing experience. All in all, if you are realistic in your expectations of a City Centre, relatively low cost hotel, Hotel Boreal is a very decent option.
