The hotel is great, friendly staff, clean etc. The main drawback is location - the substantial hill to get to it is a struggle at the end of a long day exploring.
Angelica
Excellent!

We loved the staff, the hotel and our entire experience. Felt like a home away from home. Quiet, clean and charming.
Luke
Phillipe and the entire staff were very helpful and knowledgeable. Made us feel very welcome after a long flight.
Freya
Beautiful boutique hotel, in a quiet location but walkable to all the sites of Nice. Staff were really welcoming and helpful. Rooms very comfortable. Lovely outdoor garden area to relax in and a small splash pool to cool off in too. Highly recommend.
Christina
Great hotel choice, it’s a great choice if you want to be a little out the busy city but it’s still close enough to still walk everywhere. The staff were phenomenal, went out their way to make my stay amazing

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!

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.

John
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!
John
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.
Linda
I just returned from a week’s stay at this beautiful boutique hotel and it exceeded my expectations! The hotel is lovely, exuding charm around every corner. From the moment I arrived, the staff were extremely attentive and went above and beyond. A big thank you to Philippe, Kevin, Daniel and all the staff at the hotel, who not only provided amazing recommendations, but happily made arrangements for us. I very much enjoyed the amazing breakfast spread every morning and the torte of the day! Delicious! On the Friday night before we left, the hotel arranged a fantastic jazz duo for the guests, with champagne on the terrace and it was just magical. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay and highly recommend!
Ashley
We had an excellent stay for 6 nights. The hotel is a beautiful boutique hotel and is one of a kind in Nice. It’s very elegant and the room we had was beautiful. It’s in a quiet neighborhood that is outside of all the tourist areas. It’s a 10
Minute downhill walk to old Nice and the promenade. I recommend taking an Uber back unless you are ready for a steep walk. The highlight of this hotel is Phillipe, the front desk manager. He made such an impact and was such a wonderful man to experience every morning. The hotel was great but he made it even better!

Beautiful hotel with excellent staff who were so helpful. Would definitely recommend and come back.
Marianne
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.
Steve
A unique oasis in a residential area with great views of Nice. Escape the energy of the.city to chill out at the cozy pool, have a delicious breakfast, and grab some quiet sleep. Recommended.
Anastasiya
Lovely little hotel with a wonderful reception team who are super attentive. Super quiet area, the rooms are very cute and the hotel garden is great for alfresco breakfast or a little dip in the tiny pool.
Victoria
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.)

Very nice property. Its better if you have a car.

The hotel was wonderful! Clean, decorated well, great breakfast. I was particularly pleased with the concierge/front desk staff. They recommended the best places to shop and eat. I had one of the best meals thanks to Kevin. Would definitely recommend.

Lovely Nice 4-star
Lovely hotel in a beautiful area of Nice Cimiez.
While room and bathroom was small, it was well appointed and we made it work. Would definitely return. Breakfast was excellent.

We had a room with a marvellous view across Nice to the sea. The room lacked storage for clothes - only a problem if staying for longer than a couple of nights (we had booked for a week). We pointed this out and some furniture was found for our use. Very helpful staff, excellent breakfast, quiet hotel situated on high ground in a residential area, so be prepared for walking to find nearest restaurant, supermarket etc.

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

The property was phenomenal! We were walkable to town and had the best service by Joseph. He bakes all of the cakes found at the breakfast!

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.
Mark
Lovely unique little gem. Very friendly and helpful staff. Daniel and Phillip were both wonderful as was the night gentleman whose name i did not get. About a 20 min walk to the main tourist areas which was better rhan driving for sure. We will stay again. Beautiful breakfast area in a garden.

Great boutique hotel in a good location
Great hotel in a quiet but accessible location. Easy to walk everywhere from the hotel. Throughly enjoyed my stay and was impressed with the quality of the room and the service. The only minor thing is that room service food wasn’t enjoyable at all and blackout curtains in the room weren’t wide enough to fully block out the light.
Debra
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!

Beautiful boutique hotel. Very friendly staff. Amazing buffet breakfast ….would go back just for the breakfast!! We arrived late after a very long travel day. Felt immediately relaxed, had a good nights sleep and enjoyed a walk around the beautiful neighborhood. Highly recommend this hotel.
Andrew
Fabulous view from our room, very comfortable bed, great breakfast and friendly & helpful staff. Location is good for some of the museums but a little out of the city centre. Room a bit compact and lacking a chair but tidy & nicely finished.
Carol
Breakfast was wonderful. Sea view room was lovely and walking down to beach area downtown was fun and beautiful. There is just nothing like the Cot d’ Azur. Chagall museum also quite close.
Oliver
An immaculate, high quality hotel in an upmarket area of town. An easy walk to the Old Town and not far from a metro station. Very friendly and helpful staff. Highly recommend.

Nous sommes revenus enchanté de notre séjour à l'hôtel le petit palais. Le personnel est souriant et toujours à notre service. Le buffet du petit déjeuner était excellent! Je recommande fortement cet hôtel!
Valerie
Phillipe met our car and checked us in. He offered us a lovely upgrade for a minimal charge. He ace us suggestions for walking and for restaurants. The hotel is quietly stylish and comfortable in a residential area only 10-15 minute walk to the hustle bustle of Nice’s downtown. Our room was well equipped and we enjoy a small balcony with a view of Nice and the ocean. On our last night Phillipe made us a reservation at a wonderful Michelin rated restaurant. It was outstanding! I will stay here again.
Wendy
The property is impeccably decorated and set on a quiet hillside with beautiful views. The staff was thoughtful and incredibly helpful. Daniel was able to help me with an exceptionally challenging car rental debacle. Kevin sent us to the best stocked French pharmacy and made sure we had a car to pick us up in time for our flight. Truly felt well cared for the entire visit. Highly recommend!
robert
What a great place! My wife and I checked in for 3 days. Right in heart of Nice in the hill. Granted it’s a hike walking up the hill but less than 10 min to flat part of town. The hotel is a hidden gem with private gardens and pool area. The staff were amazing and served us drinks and snacks at the pool. Could have stayed at pool for weeks. It was our own private oasis surrounded by chirping birds palms and pines. We stayed for dinner two nights and food was decent. We would go again. Luxury stay.

The staff was very friendly and helpful! It was nice to have a patio area. The breakfast buffet was also quite good.

What a wonderful experience we had during our stay!!! They have the most wonderful staff, super helpful, pleasant, courteous, and truly show how much they love what they do. We appreciate you Felippe, Simon, Kevin for all your generosity 🙂. We don't remember all the other staff names but everyone was amazing!!!. What a lovely place, the decor was tasteful and everything was extremely clean. The hotel is on top of a mountain and you can see from the room balcony the beautiful scenery of Nice. Also, what an amazing breakfast display with an array of delicious goodies. Thank you everyone for making our stay an amazing experience!!!!!

Beautiful old building with a nice view of nice bay.

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.

I cant really praise the Hotel and Staff enough. From taking the lead on organising transfers to helping with eateries and places to visit. We really couldn't have asked for more, the staff ( every single one) had a smile and friendly manor. The hotel its self had everything we needed and was in a quiet part of Nice , 5 min taxi ride from the centre and Old town. Thank you so much for everything

This was my fourth year staying at Petit Palais, I love it. But this time my room air conditioner wasn’t working and no one except for the gentleman at night, Joseph, would assist me. The engineer didn’t come to check it, they said they’d take care of it when I went for dinner. I came back to the room closed up and extremely hot. Then they promised me a fan to put in the open window (it was 82f that day) and it never came. Joseph, the night manager made a call and followed the directions but the AC was broken. It was a miserable stay. But I love the hotel and will give it another chance.

Highly recommend le Petit Palais who welcomed us for our weekend gate away in Nice.
Staff was very accommodating, allowing us to move into our room a little early as it was available. Very good recommendations from the concierge for lunch and dinner.

The noise isolation between the rooms is terrible. I could even hear when someone sneezes in the next room. The staff is super friendly and super helpful. The view from the sea view room is amazing.

pleasant comfortable stay
room had a beautiful view over Nice
surrounding buildings were magnificent
good breakfast
could have given a bottle or 2 of water in the bedroom
access is steep and until acclimatised can be hard to find

The staff try their best and views over Nice are great. However their are major issues for a hotel at this price point:
-the bathrooms are dated with a single shower head over a small bath
-The swimming pool is a plunge pool at best and mosquito bites are a major problem among the greenery which surrounds the pool
-with limited exceptions the balconies are Juliet-you cannot sit out with two people
-It is on a hill with a 30 minute walk to the seafront, and many guests we spoke with were using taxis 4 times a day.
Like I say the family run business tries hard, but standing still is not an option in a competitive world and the hotel needs investment urgently.

I loved my stay at this property. My room had a terrace with an ocean view and I loved to sit out in the mornings and evenings. The pool is perfect - not large but what you need to cool off and relax after a day of taking in the sights. Staff was lovely and willing to help with anything.

A wonderful, tasteful hotel in Nice.
We enjoyed a wonderful time at Le Petit Palais, the owner and staff members were all delightful, charming and welcoming. The garden and swimming pool area are delightful. Early evening cocktails and morning breakfast were enjoyed in this wonderful garden setting which was perfect.

Would like to have stayed longer.
It was a lovely hotel with excellent service and comfortable facilities. It was central if you don’t mind climbing a big hill which we didn’t. A glass of lovely Nice wine in the garden was an extra pleasant touch.

Room with a View
Nice location (pun intended) in a quiet residential area. Room had a great view over the town towards the sea. It is a bit of a walk to the town facilities though. The room was clean, although a little small for a triple. The wi-fi works well. We did not try the breakfast - we suggest to take your own kettle if possible, if you want tea/coffee. The sound insulation from neighbouring rooms is poor and we did not sleep well some nights

The exterior of the hotel is beautiful but the interior is very cramped starting with the elevator and also our room. We could barely walk around. The hotel is located in the Cimiez area of Nice and not conducive to walking to the Old Town or to restaurants. We parked our car and took Uber throughout the city. Driving was a nightmare as the hotel was extremely hard to find and a distance from everything. I wish I had chosen another hotel for my stay in Nice. It seemed very unoccupied and the restaurant served only breakfast. The staff seemed puzzled that we had such difficulty driving in Nice almost to the point of being insulting. The hotel is very quiet and is a good place to rest. That isn't why I travel. I like restaurants and shopping and staying here made all this very difficult. I was disappointed in this hotel.
I would suggest staying near the Promenade des Anglaise to anyone visiting Nice.

We stayed in rooms 303 and 304 which were spectacular accommodations with panoramic views of Nice and the sea. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and engaging. The setting is in a wonderful high neighborhood just a short and pleasant want to the old town.

Lovely small hotel up the hill from the centre of the town but walking distance to the old town. The staff were excellent. If you drink a lot of water, bring your own. A very small bottle from the mini bar was 5 euros.

Spectacular views from the calm of Cimiez
Warm, genuine welcome. Room if just on the small side had a balcony and spectacular view across the city to the sea. A villa set amongst all the other villas in Cimiez; the area has a calm, wealthy neighbourhood feeling. The walk to Old Town is medium length which on warm September evenings is perfect.

Nice relaxed hotel just outside town within around 20mins walking distance of the old town. Courteous and helpful staff, clean rooms with a great view of the city. All we were looking for!
Zita
Small, quaint hotel that is elegant and very tastefully decorated. We had a ground floor room with french doors that opened to a small private garden with table and chairs. The room was a good size for two people. The bed and pillows very comfortable and the bed linen was of good quality. The buffet breakfast was not included in our room, it cost 20 euro per person. A coffee 5 euro. There are no cafes, restaurants at the doorstep or within close proximity, it is at least a 20 minute walk up and down a very steep and winding hill to get from the hotel to the road below. A taxi cost between 10 and 15 euros to get from town to the hotel. We booked and stayed for 10 days at this hotel and overall enjoyed our stay. On the negative side, there are no tea/coffee making facilities in the room nor any bottled water supplied. Our feedback to the hotel would be, if a guest has booked and paid to stay at the hotel for 7 nights or more, then breakfast should be complimentary. If not the buffet breakfast then a continental breakfast. We are from Australia and it was our first trip to France. I would recommend this hotel for couples wanting a short break.

A Very Friendly Family run Hotel
Above all this is a very quiet and friendly family run hotel within easy walking distance of Nice. We had a very pleasant stay with our family using the hotel as a base to visit the local area. The rooms are simple and clean with great air conditioning ( this hotel is well air conditioned too). We benefitted from a terrace with table and chairs so we could all have a night cap after a days excursions. The menu for lunch is simple and well prepared with some good wines. The girls loved sun bathing by the pool in between excursions.
