    “Excellent location but could have been better with facilities. ”

    Excellent location, they had a very good breakfast spread. The facilities could have been better, the lift was under maintenance for namesake and was switched on only during the peak hours. The faucets and the showers definitely need maintenance. Except these 2 facts, for the price and location it is worth it

    “Value for money”

    It is heritage property converted into hotel. Good place within the reach of beach. Street looks good in the evening. Breakfast was very good, rooms clean and good amenities. Pool on the roof top.

    “Good Hotel but Improvement Required”

    The hotel location is very good. The hotel is neat and clean and friendly staff. However, the breakfast is bad. For two days the breakfast got finished before the closing time. This was something unbelievable.

    “Peaceful stay with the richness of White Town”

    Petit Palais is located centrally in White Town. A few minutes away from the beach and promenade, they have nice and helpful staff. But their prices in the middle of the Christmas Season appeared to be too steep in comparison to the room size and facilities. Plus their breakfast is best avoided - given the spread, and lack of items therein. Overall, a stay is recommended only if there are no other properties nearby.
