A great location in a calm and chic neighbourhood on the top of Nice. The Hotel is a wonderdul house in the typical Riviera style of the turn of the century palace (formerly statehome of author Sacha Guitry). The view on Nice and the Bay is spectacular. Very calm and quiet. Ideal for rest and leisure, style mixes with an... more

Staff not very helpful. When checking in no information about hotel shared. We had no lights on our floor after checking in and front desk person who spoke no English showed us to room with a torch. Lights remained off. T.V. not working first 2 days. When checking out Manager most unpleasant. Charged us for Breakfast's during our stay which... more

Lovely hotel in a beautifully quiet part of Nice. Up a bit of a hill but not too bad and helps you walk off your meal before bedtime. We had a garden room which was nice, very quiet. Felt very safe in area. Quite hard to find first time. We got a taxi from the bus station cost 17euro, would... more

Stayed here for 4 nights during May 2008 and I found it to be fantastic. Quiet; in a residential area almost and a beautiful setting. Sure it is up a steep hill as one reviewer has said; but whilst getting that exercise (and it only takes 8 minutes, I timed it) you pass some amazing looking places. This is real... more

While on a vacation in France and Italy we stayed 2 days at the Petit Palais , which is situated in a quiet area of Nice called "Cimiez" . A friend of mine who lives in Nice had lived in the area, and recommended it to us. This Hotel has to be the best kept secret concerning hotels in Nice... more

Needed a room last minute and everything was booked. Stumbled across the Petit Palais by accident on a European web site. It looked nice, so booked it. What a pleasant surprise it was. The staff was apologetic about not having a sea view that I requested, but it actually did have a bit of sea view! Also, there are some... more

This was our second stay at the Petit Palais and we had another lovely room (twin with table and 2 comfy chairs). There was a small garden leading to the car park where our dog could go out if she wanted but as no grass she wasn't impressed! The staff were friendly and remembered us from our last visit which... more

A lot of trouble with this hotel. Booked through an agency. Initially denied any knowledge of the booking and then tried to get me to sort out the mess. To cap it all ended up being double charged and am still battling with them to recover the funds. Hotel is a long way from town; up a steep hill .... more

While the Petit Palais was very sweet (pink and peach decor), it was quite tricky to find. We had a car and the street was narrow and there was little room to park so we paid extra to park off the street in one of their few private bays. The rooms were adequate, although the bathroom was old and only... more
