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

Stayed in Sept. 2003. WONDERFUL views from our balcony of the water and city below. Situated in a lovely, quiet neighbourhood. Nice to be out of the smog of the city. But still close enough to walk to the waterfront. Would stay again in a heartbeat! more

The hotel is charming, with friendly and helpful staff. There is a quiet elegance in the building, and our room was spotless and nice. It had a breathtaking view of the city. Even though it is a long way from the centre of town, it is very close to both the Chagall and Matisse museums. And it is really great... more

We had 2 rooms for several days in May of 2001. The service was excellent, within walking distance of restaraunts, wonderful outdoor terrace breakfast, great assistance with the desk in directions to locations that were not familiar to us. The view of the cote'd azure was one of the reasons we liked the location, looking out over the tile roofs... more

We stayed for one week in August 2003 at the Petit Palais and had a lovely room (Queen bed) with terrace overlooking the old town and with a view of the sea. It was lovely & peaceful sitting out on the terrace and we often had our meals out there. I agree about the shower hose though and my husband... more
