Property was well located geographically,near the train station,beach and dining. but it felt dingy. The carpets are like black-dirty blue and stained,old. There was a sewage kind of smell in the morning and the rooms were super tiny. The duvet colors on the beds were awful...maybe to allow for use without wash...l cringed lying on the bed. The room itself and bath looked clean but there's just this dinginess and feeling of uncleanliness all around. We will not stay at this hotel a 2nd time ..its not worth the price in any way. I will pay $185 per night for a nicer hotel,not this.

A great 2 star hotel in the centre of Nice. Room was clean and a good size (lovely high ceilings), with everything I needed - comfy bed, air con, good shower - for my one night stay. Staff were friendly and helpful, allowing me to leave my suitcase with them after I'd checked out, while I roamed around Nice (they even allowed my friend to leave her case eventhough she hadn't stayed in the hotel). Hotel located in a quiet area but only 5min walk to shops, restaurants and the sea. I would stay here again.

Bureaucratic
Check-in is at 2:30pm. I arrived at 2:15pm and tried to check-in. They refused. Seriously? 15-minutes early? Never had this before. I only saw a hand full on people there my entire stay so there's zero chance the rooms were all full and they needed that last 15-minutes to finish cleaning my room. It's just bureaucratic.

A good option for accommodation.
This hotel was in a convenient location for both the train station, the beach and the main touristy areas of Nice. The room was nice, a little pricey for what you get but otherwise okay. Front desk were super friendly and helpful and a supermarket is literally right next door. Would probably stay again if we were back in Nice.

For the money this hotel was fine. The aircon didn't work and the morning concierge did not speak enough English (nor I enough French) to convey the fact that this was the case. We left the windows open but it was very noisy.

Bed bugs!
We found bed bugs in the bed and informed the receptionist. We were told the only thing they could do was give us a refund, if we left immediately. We got no help with finding another hotel and were left in the streets of Nice at midnight with no plan of where to go or stay. 2 weeks later we had not received the refund. When I contacted them I was told to take it up with hotels.com.

The hotel overbooked us so they put us up in a nearby hotel the first night. It was not as good as little palace. Shower had no curtain or door so when we showered water got all over the bathroom

The hotel is located on a one-way street, with an apartment building across the street, a grocery store and pub on one side, and a small restaurant on the other side. It is also a thoroughfare for for traffic to the train station (Gare du Nice) about 5 blocks north. This neighborhood is conducive to a lot of late-night pedestrian traffic, especially on the weekend. Loud, drunken chatter (and yelling) persisted into the early morning. Between 2200-2230 hrs the city drives by and pick up trash nightly. Between 0600-0630 in the mornings, deliveries are made to the grocery store next door, including the stocking of pallets. This can impact sleep easily. This hotel is not a luxury property but be prepared to be immersed into the town's activities just outside your window. Rooms were spartan but adequate. Our bed linens were not changed during our 9-day stay and some of our group's rooms were not cleaned daily. The bath tubs did not have shower curtains - this may be a cultural "feature" - which made keeping the bathroom floor dry a real challenge. Some attention to the black mold growing in the grout between the bathroom tiles is advised. Staff were generally helpful although they were not familiar with amenities of interest to Tourist s (Tourist Office, car rental office, location of gas stations, etc.). They should also fix the drink vending machine in the lobby. The hotel is "budget" but no serious complaints; the money we saved on lodging was spent at restaurants.

I liked the location and the staff was awesome! Very kind and friendly. They also stored our luggage for free while we walked around after checking out. The rooms are tiny, with no frig (for our water bottles) or coffee maker. The tub shower needs a curtain! It was very difficult to maneuver the shower head without spraying the entire bathroom.

My room was dated but very clean. A bit of 4:30am street noise each morning from a delivery truck, with the windows open, but I enjoy the fresh air and local sounds. Staff was extremely pleasant and helpful. It was a great location, laundry 1 block away and everything I was looking for within walking distance. Good value $$

No thrills Hotel, did the job.
Little Palace is centrally located and close to the beach. Room is basic, clean and bed was comfortable. Staff were friendly and helpful. It's ultimately a 2 star hotel and does the job.

I loved the location. The staff is super nice and helpful. It is a very good place for the cost. One think I do not like is that they held 99 Euros in my CC and as today which is almost two weeks is still under process status... so I would ask them to work on that. Other than that again, for the price a Good place to stay. Highly recomended.

Basically, you get what you pay for with regards to the room. Good air-conditioning, but beds were subpar. The bathroom was clean but otherwise unimpressive with the sink cracked and the shower/bath without a curtain such that water sprays all over the floor. Staff were friendly but unprofessional - one of the girls at the reception desk was walking around the hotel barefoot. Elevator was also broken on arrival.

Cute Little Palace
We really hadn't any time to visit the surrounding areas as planned due to a mix up with the booking and late check in at the hotel. However, we did get a few hours sleep which was very crucial by the time we get to the hotel. The air condition doesn't seem to work well, it was hot and once I opened the door you can hear the noise from other units.

Really disappointed
The hotel is basic. I paid almost 80 euros a night and have got much more elsewhere. They don't advertise coffee making facilities, yet my friend who was staying in a hostel had free tea and coffee. The room is basic and unloved. Tears on the wallpaper, missing shelves and generally depressing. The plus is the cleaning. Really good, maybe too good. They changed my sheets and towels daily. Perhaps save on that and buy some kettles and coffee. You also have to leave your electric key at reception every time you leave the building. They say for security, but I imagine it's to save money. I went out for an hour to charge my phone and someone came in and removed the electric key. I'm happy to stay in budget hotels, but this one is below budget in my opinion. The staff were helpful if needed, but smiles were fake. I have never posted a bad review before, but if someone else had I might have chosen elsewhere. The cleanliness and position are fabulous.

A really nice surprise
A great place to stay. The hotel is centrally located, the room was clean and spacious, the WiFi was good, the price was unbeatable during this time of the year and there is a supermarket and a restaurant right next to the hotel entrance. The beach promenade is just 10 minutes away. I would book again with Little Palace in case I ever visit Nice on another occasion.

Pro Affordable- you get fair accommodations for price. Cleanish Location was a easy walk to everywhere I wanted to go. Negative Wifi did not work in my room. This is a huge negative for me The shower is bathtub, no curtain, so you have to sit and bathe, this is another huge negative for me.

Not so good but can improve.
I appreciate that Hotels.com have a variety of accommodation to choose from and that the agents are reachable to consult. As for the Little Palace, it is not a bad hotel but it was definitely not to rave about. The room (103) where we stayed had a leaking water closet, poor air condition (we had to close the window due to the noise of the trucks outside, at 5.30 am!), broken toilet seat cover, no towel hooks, and a shower head that did not function well. These are basic things that any normal hotel should have. Please take these as constructive criticisms so that future paying guests are not disappointed. Overall, I would still recommend this hotel for its good points noted above subject to a confirmation that the room to be assigned is not 103 or any other room with the same condition.

Violent incident not adressed
The tv did not work. When we called the front desk were told "try again tomorrow". At 4:30am we were woken up by a violent domestic disturbance on the floor above. The ruckus went on for a full hour before a guest of the hotel got involved and managed to calm down the situation. I did not dare open the door as I have young children, but I seriously considered calling the police. Thankfully the kids slept through it. It's not the hotels fault when people get violent, but NO hotel staff reacted or helped. I think the night manager (who told us to try the tv tomorrow) simply slept through it all, leaving the customers to sort it out. Not ok!!! This hotel needs to get responsible staff. In the u.s. The police would have been called for sure. Just about my worst hotel experience ever. I still worry about the poor woman or person who got attacked.
