Staff were very kind and helpful, they gave us some great restaurant recommendations - the service was great. The hotel is about a 20 walk to the old town/beach, but it is a pleasant pre and post dinner walk.

Lovely quiet spot in Cimiez. Room was a bit small by North American standards but quite comfortable. Staff was excellent and patient with my bad French. Highly recommended.

Kevin at Reception is ‘tres Jolie’. He’s extremely helpful, generous and a wonderful person. He’s one of the reasons we return there. It feels like home away from home. The distance to walk to the historic center, the museums, the market for groceries like juice, waters and fruit are very close. We absolutely love this hotel and highly recommend it!

Best service in Nice

Absolutely impeccable, 5-star service made our anniversary stay unforgettable. The concierge was very helpful and attentive. The hotel is super clean (not even the tiniest water drop mark in the bathroom) and very well positioned in a quiet area. We could only hear the birds singing. The best part was the garden with the pool, lemon trees and huge pine trees. Next time we will be back for the room with panoramic sea view

Charming property. Friendly staff. Terrible wifi. Advertises Air Conditioning but it is shut off. Cools off at night but room got too hot during the day with sun beating in. If it says it has air conditioning it should be up to the guest in their individual room whether they want to use it or not.

This is a lovely “petit” hotel - very well maintained and presented, friendly service, well managed, good breakfast. The deluxe room with sea view/balcony is very tight (e.g. towels hung on towel rail virtually touch the toilet, open door virtually touches the bed, no mirror over dressing table/desk as no room). It has a standing room-only balcony and very distant glimpse of a sea view. During our 5 night stay, complimentary water, tea/coffee and toiletries were not replenished after use (they were provided when requested.) Unfortunately its location is not convenient for tourists. It is a long, steep walk to the town centre and not well served by public transport. Ubers to return from the main restaurant areas averaged €14 during our stay. This may be cheap for EU/US visitors but not for us from the UK. Overall, I wish I had booked a less pretty room in a better location as the compromise wasn’t worth it on this occasion. (Note to all readers: I review for the benefit of other travellers, not the establishments, which I hope is helpful - the staff here were all worthy of a very good rating but I have written the review ai wish I’d have read before booking.)

Hyggelig hotel

Veldig hyggelig hotell der vi følte oss godt ivaretatt. God frokost og behjelpelig personell. En liten bakke opp fra Nice, men vel vert en liten gåtur hjem.

Skønt hotel

Dejligt hotel med idyllisk beliggenhed. Hyggeligt værelse med små overraskelser til gæsterne og dejlige produkter på badeværelset. Morgenmaden var standard. God nok men croissanterne var bløde og smagsløse alle 3 dage, hvilket var meget skuffende. Derudover var damen der styrrede morgenmaden den sidste dag meget sur, og gav mig en skideballe foran de andre gæster, fordi jeg havde taget en kop jeg ikke måtte. Det er under al kritik. Ud over dette et godt ophold

My daughter and I had a truly wonderful stay at Hotel du Petit Palais! From the moment we arrived, we were charmed by the quiet elegance of this beautifully maintained property nestled above the city. The hotel itself is full of character, with stunning views over Nice and a peaceful, boutique feel that makes you feel instantly at home. Our room was clean, comfortable, and tastefully decorated — a perfect retreat after a day of sightseeing along the French Riviera. The staff were incredibly kind, helpful, and attentive throughout our stay, offering thoughtful recommendations and making sure we had everything we needed. One of the highlights was the lovely pool area — tranquil and uncrowded, with just the right amount of sunshine and shade. It was the perfect place for a relaxing dip in the afternoon. The location is quiet and residential, which we loved, yet still close enough to reach the city center, beaches, and Old Town with a short ride or a pleasant walk. We truly appreciated the balance of accessibility and serenity. This stay was one of the gems of our trip, and I wouldn’t hesitate to return. Thank you to the entire team for creating such a warm and memorable experience!

Långt att gå från centrum, särskilt i 40 gradig värme och uppförsbacke... Annars gulligt, litet hotell.

Very nice hotel and very friendly staff. It’s the older style of hotel where you leave your key with the front desk when you go out. All front desk staff spoke English although I enjoyed practicing my French. We had two rooms—the more expensive room had a sweeping view of the city and the sea. North Americans will notice that the rooms don’t have much additional seating but this is Europe. Rooms were very clean and I did not notice a lot of dust or any bad smells. The neighborhood is residential and quieter than many in the city. It is also on a fairly steep hill. We are in our early 60’s and in good shape and enjoyed the walking. We used the private parking, which is limited. We were initially told there was no availability but when we checked in they told us they had a spot. We were there in October and saw occasional spots on the street as well. I assume availability will depend on the season. I took the continental breakfast as there did not seem to be options right near the hotel. It was good. This was a decent hotel with no bad surprises.

This is a lovely boutique hotel. The staff were very helpful & greeted us with such warm welcoming. It is a bit of a walk uphill from the old city but felt it was worth our stay.

Without exception, every staff member on the property was friendly, helpful, and accommodating, especially Kevin. Kevin recommended outstanding non-touristy restaurants, made our reservations, and made sure we had on-time transportation to the airport. We look forward to seeing him each day!

A wonderful place to stay for our first visit to Nice! Centrally located to the beach, Oldtown, the market, etc., but far enough away to enjoy the quiet and relax.
