Been to Nice before and seen La Perouse overlooking the bay and wondered if it was worth the prices charged and can wholeheartedly say "oui" after our recent five-day stay. Location is great, not only for the view but it also is convenient for going around the back of Castle Hill to the much less touristy port area where we found the restaurants options to be the best, away from the crowds. (Ironically enough, the cruise ships dump thousands at the Port but they all rush over to the Old Town). We had an Executive Room - the terrace is small but the views are great. It seemed that the rooms with larger terraces were on lower floors with a more limited vantage point. The pool is as spectacular as it looks, hugging the cliffs and overlooking the Mediterranean. Breakfast is adequate, eggs cooked to order. The room furnishings are not particularly luxe for the price but for us, the views out the window and the wonderful, accommodating staff made it all worthwhile. Had looked at a lot of other options but felt we made the right choice here.

“Fabulous week on the Riviera”

Comfortable, spacious, personal, beautiful and unique boutique hotel overlooking the sea. Food, Room and Service were all exceptional. Thank you for a wonderful stay!

This elegant hotel is certainly in a prime location on the Nice seafront and it's quite an experience to come out of a lift and be confronted with a window with a stunning view along the entire beach and promenade. I mention the lift as there are quite a few of them necessary to get around, or should I say, up and down a hotel which has been built into a cliff side. Part of the charm of the establishment is losing yourself in the warren of corridors, staircases and lifts. However, that charm is fading a little and you are always dodging past a decorator or an engineer fixing something. The staff are all extremely polite and friendly, be it the restaurant team, porters or cleaners. But a special mention must go to the reception staff who are top notch being helpful, informative and always prepared to go the extra mile for the residents. And they have to be on their game all the time because the small size of the front lobby means they are forever greeting residents as they come and go. The rooms are clean and well maintained, although some of the non-sea view rooms can be gloomy. Patios and balconies come in all shapes and sizes. The beds are very comfortable as are the pillows. There is good storage space and a safe. The bath is a good size, but the shower systems could do with an upgrade. The WiFi is fine in the lower levels but becomes a little erratic higher up the building. The pool and restaurant patio are on the same level down a number of stairs. There is no hotel bar as such (and given the hotel being so close to Nice Old Town that probably makes sense). The breakfast is very good with a continental choice plus you order a choice of egg dish you want which is brought to your table. The evening meal is fine dining and not cheap. The location really is perfect, as you can exit the hotel and turn left and walk down to the port and marina, or turn right and walk along the promenade and into the Old Town. Or pop around to the public lift (another one) and go up through the cliff to the Castle Gardens and viewing points - and get the land train back down to the promenade. Or if you are lucky to have a sunny patio, then just stay put and chill out in the hotel.

La Perouse is our favourite hotel. We enjoyed marvellous views from our room, excellent meals in the Patio restaurant and relaxing bathing in the pool. Situated on the sea front and within close proximity to Old Nice and the castle area, the hotel offers many enjoyable walks. Above all however all the staff made significant contributions to a very enjoyable stay. The receptionists were always very friendly and informative, the lady who cleaned our room was very obliging and the patio restaurant staff were outstanding. It was great to see Fabien again and note that when we came last year it was Julien's first day. It was good to renew acquaintances and admire the excellent work of all members of the team, including Jeanne who served us on many occasions. Many thanks to all at la Perouse for providing us with a lovely holiday
