Cristina is the sweetest hostess ever. She gave us very valuable information about what to visit, transport options, beach recommendations and restaurants. We had a very short stay and Cristina helped us build a super pleasant schedule. She even made sure to adapt the breakfast to my lactose intolerance. The room was very cosy, clean, and fresh in such a hot weather. There was everything we needed, including a mini fridge. If you are travelling by car, there are good parking options in the street or at the property. If you don't have a car, you may have to walk a bit or rely on transports.

Located in Nice, Hotel Le Petit Palais welcomes you in a green and elegant historic district.

Le Petit Palais features 25 air-conditioned rooms with a refined decor. Each is fitted with modern equipment and free Wi-Fi. Some rooms rooms offer views of the sea or of Nice Old Town.

What did we like? - Everything! It's an exceptional small boutique hotel with a really lovely atmosphere. Positioned on a hill in a residential area surrounded by villas and gardens it is away from the hussle and bustle of Nice, but walkable to the town or a short cab ride. Rooms are tastefully decorated with luxurious shower rooms. Staff are so friendly and good humoured, nothing is too much trouble. Breakfast is delicious and the bar also serves a selection of meals. The garden and pool are a small oasis of peace and calm. I travelled with family and friends but would definitely return with my husband. A delightful stay.

Room was very spacious and light, and the bed was SO comfortable. Bathroom also spacious and had a good hairdryer (rare in hotels!). Location is perfect - right by the station for day trips out of Nice, 5/10 min walk to nearest tram stop and 20 min walk to the old town/beach. Coffee machine was a nice touch.
