Hôtel Le Petit Palais

Staff were excellent. Very professional, helpful and friendly. We really liked the style of the hotel. Nicely laid out and quiet spaces to sit and relax. Also, brilliant housekeeping standards.

The room was excellent. Bathroom was a bit small, but laid out very nicely. The staff were very responsive and helpful about a small issue we experienced with the shower. Hard to find anything wrong...as the hotel and staff were outstanding.

Thanks to all the staff who were excellent. Pleasant and obliging and informative. The charming Philipe greeted us and filled us in with everything we needed to know about the hotel and the area. The room was large and airy and the double bed and single beds comfortable. We had a lower floor room and had a patio to ourselves which was a bonus as we were able to take breakfast there daily. The bar and poolside were comfortable with the added bonus of feathered company and entertainment from Jacko the parrot. The pool itself although small is ideal for cooling off and there is a jacuzzi facility.

Check the location suits if exercise intolerant or disabled as the hotel is on a hillside and therefore an uphill walk home to the beautiful quiet residential area of Cimiez. (Ps......The Chagall and Matisse Galleries are within 10-15 minute walk away which is great for art enthusiasts) The local taxi service served our needs to get about ( It was 29 degrees so their air/con was a must) but be careful later in the evening and further afield as pre booking would be wise. We were left 40 minutes waiting at night in St Paul de Vence. Luckily the hotel reception were very obliging and able to sort a taxi for us. At end July and through August and September take mosquito spray as we have the bumps to suggested they are active.

Staff is awesome and very friendly. The view and garden are amazing
