Customer Reviews Nice - Mont Boron

| Excellent location, even if it isn't right in the city centre. The view is so worth it! The dormitories could have been a little cleaner and we were not aware that if you are not out by the afternoon you will be locked IN, so my partner and I did have to climb out of the window at one point! However, I've now stayed there twice and I would stay again. | ||

| Nice place and service, great location up the hill though not easy to reach (only by bus or car.) Watch out for people coming in late at night (someone stole my cell phone battery.) | ||

| The hostel it's so bad! No one know how to speak in english, it was like 40° degrees and there is no ventilator,it was impossible to sleep, the water of the bath was too hot and there wasn't other choice. I don't recommend it for anyone | ||

| A top location ( view over Nice ), busstop in front of Auberge is very handy. Cleanliness is an issue. They need to work on that. | ||

| The hostel has the most amazing views and the rooms get nice fresh air being up high. The hostel itself could probably do with a little renovation. Breakfast good. Staff nice. | ||

| It was horrible!!! Watch out for this hostel, is totally out of town, getting back from the centre takes at least 1,5 hour, steep mountain on the way. Having a night party in Nice out of the question if you wanna be back by midnight. Rooms are very small, i had 8 people in 3 square m room - no way you can get any sleep in these conditions. No padlocks nor in rooms nor at the reception. Very hot at night. Showers are old and dirty. Breakfast very basic, nothing but sweet food and horrible orange juice. Worst hostel ever in my life! | ||

| This is not a good hostel. The view is nice when it's unlocked by their staff. Staff are not friendly, when we arrived there was no acknowledgement of us standing at the reception, while she talked on the phone. Hostel is locked from 10am till 5pm. And from 12 midnight till 7am. You are locked in or out during these times. We had an early train to catch and found ourselves locked inside, we had to climb out the window with our backpacks on. The kitchen was not cleaned by their staff, not even the breakfast dishes they were left there. The owner wandered around the place doing nothing but being creepy. Wifi does NOT WORK, and they didn't seem to care!!! | ||
