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.
