Le Petit Nice - Passedat

Le Petit Nice Passedat is an absolute treasure of a hotel. Greeted with kindness, very helpful, the cleaning staff attentive and our rooms were always clean and well maintained. The dining options are exquisite as Chef's Passedat's 3 Michelin Star restaurant is on site. The view from our rooms and hotel were that of the M****ille's beautiful Mediterranean and its people. Definitely recommend as a one-and-only. We will return.

Arrogant service, owner… Safe key did not work so no safe available. Room key did not work, had to go back for the other key twice… Non-soundproof room. You could hear everything from the corridor and the other rooms. Smell of cigarette in the room coming through the ventilation. Terrace was nice with a sea view. We rearranged our dinnerplans because of the poor level of service. Not a 5* hotel. Also skipped the breakfast for three days because of the rude service the first morning.

It’s a No from us unfortunately, and definitely not for anyone with babies/families. Tried to keep an open mind reading the reviews previously but a few things have definitely disappointed us. The view was great and we had an amazing time exploring the area but we won’t return to this hotel. The price range is definitely 5* but in our opinion the hotel is not. We have booked a specific terraced room above the main restaurant with a direct view over the sea. I emailed the hotel too and they have reassured me that the room will be on the 1st floor above the restaurant so we could leave our baby sleeping in the room and the camera signal would stretch well to the restaurant area so we could have my Birthday meal there and relax being very close to our baby. When we arrived they have put us in a completely different room (albeit with a terrace), in a different ‘newly built’ block outside of the hotel gate. The view of the sea was restricted and the room was facing the main gates, the hotel wall, the alley with motorbikes driving past and bins being collected. So no direct view of the sea and too far from the restaurant to leave the baby in the room sleeping comfortably. They have offered us a different room in the same building and then one on the 3rd floor for the second night but it wasn’t fitting the criteria still. We have decided to cancel the reservation at the main restaurant to avoid further disappointment. The lift in the new block wasn’t working either so every day we had carry our pushchair up and down. Then there was a broken highchair. They brought us one with the bottom straps missing so the baby was literally sliding out. When we asked for another highchair the breakfast waiter simply said that was the only one they had. No apologies, nothing. On the last day we have decided to spent the morning by the pool. Unfortunately they have treated it and it was unusable until 12pm. We have requested an iron but it was never brought to the room. No info given at check in about things like check out times, swimming pool open time, breakfast times etc. Swimming pool is beautiful but not there aren’t enough sun beds (only about 6). Very awkward when you arrive but there is nowhere to sit but on the floor on the towel. That’s just a few main points, there are more. Definitely room for improvement for the hotel, no quite sure how they can justify their pricing and calling this 5* by just having a 3* restaurant on site.

This is difficult to write because I had a wonderful time just staring at the sea, and swimming a the little nearby swimming beach. But here were the problems. This is not a 5 start hotel. For 700-900 Eu a night, breakfast needs to be included. Even though there is a 3 Michelin start restaurant on the property, the room service menu is so limited, poorly executed and sometime unavailable. Go figure. I ordered an omelette and tea at 7 am on day of departure, and was told at 7 am that the omelette couldn't be done until 8. Went to the airport hungry. Even though someone buzzed the taxi in, there was no one to help with bags, or at reception. Often there was no one at reception. They seem to hang out in a small room just to the left, but they can't or don't see the front desk, so I often had to peer around and into the room to get attention. The fitness room is not a "wellness" center. Only 1 person or couple can use it at a time. It's so small and yet there's a full size, free standing bathtub in it next to the spin cyle. Why? The equipment is lovely to look at, but unusable (except the ergometer). No room really for yoga mat to stretch or do yoga. Seems like a lot of these things could be fixed quite easily.

***Clearly not a 5 star Hotel! To say the least, the Hotel ambiance was vastly different than what the site depicts; challenging parking, graffiti everywhere, paint chipping, cement crumbling, no private beach, etc. Upon arrival, we were greeted nicely. However, they quickly attempted to lure us into booking lunch and dinner reservations at the hotel restaurant. This seemed to be their major interest. The staff explained that it would be nearly impossible to book reservations for lunch or dinner if we waited any longer. We looked over the dining menu just to see what was offered but the prices were unreasonable at ~$585 pp for a wine paired course dinner. When attempting to book dinner reservations elsewhere, they claimed the restaurant we were interested in was not good at all. The staff was hesitant to make the reservation saying it was no good. We decided to go anyway and upon arrival we were informed that no reservations was made. For the record, we did dine at the said restaurant and the ambience and food were wonderful. BTW, we did look in the hotel restaurant later that evening and it was quite empty. Thinking back on the overall, it was as if the hotel staff had no interest in our experience. Requesting a cup of ice was even a major challenge. The staff was absolutely surly during our entire stay. Stay away! Much better choices in M****ille….

Great views, very good location, very good restaurant. The hotel needs renovation, hotel staff very poor for five stars. No concierge, no hotel taxi. Very bad value for money, many times higher than the standard of the hotel. I do not recommend the hotel, but I do very recommend the restaurants.

Grand Chef Passedat knows how to delight. A rare 3-Star restaurant and 5-star hotel that delivers on each and all of the stars. We hope to return again. If you are into gastronomic seafood this restaurant provides rare dishes that will surprise and delight. Superb service by highly trained and kind staff. Fabulous on-the-sea-cliff alfresco dining, with endless sunset dinner (830-1030pm) in July.

The pool and the view are amazing. The stuff is really helpfull and nice but the porter told me he had brought my laguage into the uber but he did not, if i not checked i would have to drive 1h back again. The maid also locked me in my hotel room after she brought me water. Things that can happen but should not in a hotel like that.

Very nice, clean and big rooms. Good service and very nice view. The only thing I can complain about was the path down to clifs and swimarea. It was dirty, smelled piss and did not represent the hotel. The hotel should do something about it because its the only way down to clifs and a swim, and it goes under the hotel parkinglot. Send one persone every day on thath path and cleand it. My wife saw rats on the path........not very nice.
