Review summary
Based on recent reviews
Powered by AI
Hotel Petit Palais is nestled in a quiet, residential area up in the hills, offering an intimate and private feel, yet it's only a pleasant 20-minute walk to the town and close to the Matisse museum. Many guests love the breakfast, highlighting its wonderful selection of fresh foods, which can be enjoyed in a lovely setting, sometimes with the relaxing sound of tennis nearby. Rooms are generally well-equipped and super clean, and some even boast amazing terraces; a few guests, however, have mentioned issues with the air conditioning in some rooms. The hotel also offers nice extras, such as SPF cream and towels by the upgraded pool area, and even complimentary electric bikes for exploring.

the staff was friendly. i liked the breakfast. the hotel is cosy and silent. phillipe gave us a warm welcome and suggested an upgraded room with a terrace. he gave us a list of restaurants too.
i had to spend our first two nights in a room. the room had drain issues that caused an disgusting smell, there were no other rooms available. the smell was obvious.
