Stayed in room 10 for a weekend. I am a light sleeper and unfortunately, the people who were staying in the room above room 10 were heavy stompers and liked to stay up late and wake up early. Also Room 10's windows is right next to the bus stop, so you hear a lot of conversations and a lot of loud cars drive by. Fortunately the hotel provides earplugs and an eye mask which was really cool. There's also a complimentary breakfast from 8-10 and I appreciated the 2 clearly marked gluten free items on the menu. read more

Cute and staff is very friendly. Ample hotel parking and they've recently remodeled in the last couple of years. Rooms have easy access for outlets, you can get water from the front desk, chill in the courtyard, and the morning breakfast was amazing. Will be looking to stay here again. The rooms were very well-designed and comfortable bedding. read more

Stayed here based on Michelin guide and reviews. Pleasant service and well located (about 15min walk to several shops, bars and restaurants). Rooms have no view with windows looking out to walls a couple feet away or into the hallway. The apéritif hour and breakfast are nice but hard to justify the cost of stay relative to other hotels nearby. We also had mosquitoes in our room :( read more

My wife and I had a fantastic stay at this charming place. Dante and the staff were very attentive and accommodating to all of the guests. The room was extremely clean and we loved the decor.. The outside patios and lounge areas were a great way to relax during breakfast and the aperitif hour, which were simply magical. We highly recommend Petit Soleil and would definitely stay there again. read more

Petit Soleil - Hotels Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

This hotel offers a wonderful experience because of their friendly, professional staff and unique decor. Their happy hour is a perfect way to begin your evening. Complimentary wine and beer accompanied by a tasty hor d'ouvres. Our room was modest in size but nicely appointed. If you want, they provide a well stocked minibar. Breakfast is a variety of delicious options. We really enjoyed their frittata. And their croissants were some the best we've ever had. There's a Mexican restaurant next that offers excellent food and drinks. Good service as well. We will definitely be back on our next trip to the SLO area! Cheers! read more

We stayed here in the Van Gogh room last weekend and absolutely loved it. I used to live in SLO 20 years ago and Monterey St. was a lot less happening--this place is great! Super friendly staff, really cute courtyard and rooms. The happy hour was excellent and the appetizers especially were delicious. Lucy made us nightcaps when we returned after dinner and was so kind and friendly. We slept well, loved the included breakfast, and will definitely be back! read more

I wanted to give this place a terrible review just so no one else books it, and they keep the prices not outrageous forever... but I'm feeling generous. So here it is: This hotel? A vibe. My girlfriends and I stayed here for a 3-night girls trip to escape husbands, chores, and reality....and honestly, highly recommend. The rooms are small, yes, but they're like a perfectly packed carry-on: efficient, stylish, and somehow fit everything you need (except emotional baggage, you'll have to unpack that elsewhere). It's a renovated space, and you can tell they made smart choices, except maybe the courtyard. It's big and underused, while we were doing Cirque du Soleil-style flips to share one outlet inside. I have to warn you about the door locks. Everyone outside was struggling like they were trying to crack a safe. You haven't lived until you've heard 14 guests muttering, "Why won't it open?!" at 1am. Hint: push the door while attempting to turn the key. Also, the shower setup needs help. No door, just vibes and puddles...you might need to throw in some water shoes. Water everywhere. It was like showering in a slip-n-slide. And the shower head doesn't move, so you're either freezing or fully baptizing yourself. That said, the beds are dreamy, the decor is boutique-hotel goals, and the included breakfast and afternoon apéritif? Absolute chef's kiss. We felt fancy. Like the kind of people who say "I'll have the rosé" without looking at the menu. Staff? Wonderful. Non-judgmental, even when I rolled up with a suitcase that could crush a sedan. I brought six pairs of heels. Don't ask why, just know I regret nothing. Life is short. Bring the shoes. Parking, however, is chaos. If your car is bigger than a medium-sized golden retriever, good luck. It's tight. Like "how did I even get in here" tight. But once you're parked, don't move again. Uber is your friend. All in all, loved it. Would stay again. Might even bring seven pairs of shoes next time. read more

I loved this place! The room was super cute- updated and clean with personality. The front and back patios were both super cute. Loved sitting on the back patio playing games during their complimentary happy hour. My favorite part was the breakfast both mornings. Both days we ordered the quiche and fruit. One day was an asparagus quiche and the next day was peas. Both super unique and flavorful. We also split a chocolate croissant and sliced up bananas to eat with each bite...100% recommend! All of the other breakfast entrees also looked amazing but we couldn't pass up the quiche! Would love to stay here again. Please note there is no elevator at this hotel so if you have mobility limitations (or a giant, heavy suitcase like me) then you may want to request a room on the first floor. read more

What a hidden gem in Downtown SLO! We stayed one night to break up our drive from So Cal to Carmel and could not have asked for a more lovely place to stay. Our room was clean, quiet, and comfortable, and we enjoyed the complimentary evening wine and appetizers in the courtyard, as well as the included breakfast. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful and genuinely contributed to how enjoyable our stay was. We will definitely be back and for more than just one night next time! Thank you, Petit Soleil, for a delightful and restful time! read more

My boyfriend and I stayed at Petit Soleil for a few days during the week of Thanksgiving. The check in process was quick and easy. We arrived just as their nightly apertif hour was ending (6pm), but they still squeezed us in and took our orders after we dropped off our luggage which was so nice. The rooms are newly renovated and decorated beautifully. Our room was equipped with a smart TV that had Netflix and other apps on it which we really appreciated (you do need to use your own logins though). They provided soap, lotion, and bath products that smelled really earthy and luxurious. There were also free sleeping masks and earplugs in the room. This bed and breakfast is dog friendly which was a big reason why we chose it. That said, the rooms are not very soundproof so you may hear some doggies barking during your stay. Keep that in mind if you are sensitive to noise. The breakfast and apertif hour ended up being the highlights for me. The food, charcuterie, and drinks were consistently delicious and tasted fresh. I liked how the menu items rotated daily to keep you from getting bored! Finally, I want to shout out the staff here. They provided excellent service and were always happy to help, whether it was filling up my water bottle with ice cold water or storing my leftovers in their kitchen fridge. Thank you Petit Soleil - I can't wait to be back! read more

We loved our stay at Petit Soleil! Parking was plentiful and easily accessible. Location is a little bit away from the bustling downtown area, but an easy half a mile walk. The staff were incredibly kind and accommodating. They brought our hors d'oeuvres to our room since it was more comfortable for us to enjoy them inside versus the patio. The rooms were spacious. We were able to fit a pack n play in the King bedroom with the pull out sofa bed. Complimentary breakfast and snacks were a pleasant touch. We would happily stay here again next time! read more

our room wasn't particularly large, it featured a comfortable bed and a convenient mini bar setup stocked with pre-made cocktails and non-alcoholic options. The bathroom was spacious, with excellent water pressure in the shower. The provided shampoo, conditioner, body wash, and lotion all worked well for us. Having little experience with bed and breakfasts, I didn't know what to expect from the included breakfast, but I was pleasantly surprised. Breakfast featured complimentary pastries, coffee, and a choice of items from their menu, such as quiche, granola, and oatmeal. The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful throughout our stay. Despite our late arrival after 11:30 PM on a Sunday, the front desk staff checked in with us beforehand and even offered to wait if we were running late. The breakfast staff were equally warm and accommodating. Thank you, Petit Soleil, for a wonderful experience. read more

Petit Soleil - The Oatmeal - Hotels Near Me - San Luis Obispo, California

The hotel is in good shape and my room was newer. But, the room wasn't well designed. For example, the desk is too small to work and there are no outlets. Also, the TV didn't work. The bathroom setup is funky and doesn't flow. The breakfast nook area is quaint and the food is good. The ladies working the breakfast were fantastic, kind and helpful. The hotel manager, Dante, is pretentious and unhelpful. He is incapable of responding to simple questions. For example, when I asked him for an ice tea he rudely commented that I'd should go to 7-11 down the street or something. Dude needs a break. Anyway, I walked a block or so down the street and found an awesome little place called Kaffene (sp?) that had great iced tea - no thanks to Dante! read more

I love finding these "hidden gem" B&Bs. We got an upgrade to the suite and it was so beautiful. I love the color scheme and gold fixtures. Fireplace, double sink vanity, 3 head shower. What a treat! Located close to downtown, it's a nice walk. Breakfast in the morning was nice. Waking up to the smell of baked goods wafting up to our room, we naturally woke up early to enjoy the fresh pastries and food. All the staff were friendly and attentive. read more

The staff that run this location are truly the best. They set the standard for what amazing service is in the hospitality industry. There's parking on-site that is so easy, but you don't really need a car unless you want to venture out to the beach or other areas because the location is super close to all the downtown shopping and restaurants. They serve fresh fruit and baked goods in the morning with charcuterie and wine happy hour in the afternoon, both were delicious. The rooms are beautifully designed, comfortable beds, spacious bathrooms. My only harp is that the shampoo and conditioner dried my hair out a bit, but that's pretty common for hotel accommodations when it comes to hygienic items. read more

A blissful boutique hotel experience. The room: Elegant interior design with lovely attention to detail, even down to the toilet paper roses. The space was small but not cramped. The lighting was strong and bright. You can buy all their furniture and decor! The walls were thin so you could hear when your neighbors talked. The only thing we did not like was how the AC unit was right above the bed. The food: unexpectedly, our stay included complimentary happy hour drinks and hors d'œuvres, as well as brunch! Everything was delicious, fresh and well-made. It was a dream to wake up to fresh pastries, with tasteful crockery and charming napkins. Their outdoor seating area was quaint and cozy. A true little taste of Europe. Parking was so easy in the small lot out front. Service was friendly and attentive. Check in and check out process was smooth. We will return for sure! read more

This place is an absolute gem. Old Europe feel, new world amenities, fantastic service, and a bunch of local touches. Dante and team clearly pay attention to detail. Came here on a whim with our kids as we drove up the coast. Not necessarily a family destination - it's a quiet, romantic setting - but they were lovely with our children. My wife and I plan to return with just the two of us. read more

What a pleasant surprise. This French themed B and B is a makeover of an older hotel. It's cute and it's quaint. Really advise being on the 2nd floor middle. The bottom and end rooms can be quite noisy, especially next to the stteet. We were in room 24, Coted Azure or Coast of Azure. Nice enough room with a king bed, a day bed,and a love seat at the foot of the bed. No bath but gorgeous and roomy shower. There is plenty of hot water, including soaps and shampoos, etc. A/c works with a remote and did the job. Although the temp high was 80* and would have been fine without it. Evening Apertif was a glass or two of wine with an assorted charcuterie plate. It was very nice and pleasant in the courtyard. The waitstaff is very friendly and attentive. Breakfast was very nice with a selection of pastries and coffee, choice of pancakes or fritata or French toast. Very nice waitstaff. Definitely recommend. Parking is next door shared with a cafe. Other shops and restaurants within walking distance. read more

Honestly, it's hard to know where to start! The manager, Dante and all employees were beyond gracious and welcoming. They should be recognized for their care and catering to hotel guests in a cozy environment. Breakfast and happy hour were not expected. They offered a variety of French treats and breakfast items. All delicious. If you're in the area and looking for a place to stay.. this place is a 10 plus! If I have the opportunity to come back to this part of California, I will stay here:)) read more

Charming, quaint, rustic, afternoon wine and aperitifs, breakfast in the morning, and dog friendly! There is a lot to like about Petit Soleil! While the property is located off of a busy street, upon entering the courtyard entrance the owners have done a nice job of creating a feeling of a small French Inn. It's a pretty old and small property, but very cute. The dining and courtyard areas are nicely done. Renovations of front rooms were in progress when we were there. There is a small kitchen next to the inside dining area where afternoon snacks and the morning breakfast is prepared. Take a seat during serving hours and the staff comes to you to take your order and serve you. In the afternoon we had a nice little plate of meat, cheese, fruit and nuts, with our choice of wine. Breakfast was a choice of pastries to start, followed by French toast for hubby and a frittata for me. Delicious! Our king room was an easy walk upstairs. It was cute. The room was pretty small, with enough room for a king and a trundle bed. Very small bath. Nice shower. There was a small TV and a refrigerator. Window view was of roof top next door. There's a trick to unlocking the door. Once we figured it out it was easy. Our room was away from the street, so no noisy traffic. Don't stay here if you want luxury and views. Do stay here if you want good service, good value, and need dog friendly. Next time we're bringing our dogs! read more

This place is seriously a hidden gem. My husband and I were traveling back from a wedding and decided to break up our drive and stay here for two nights. It definitely did not disappoint.

I would highly recommend this place to anyone ! read more

Such an incredibly charming little bed and breakfast! Located very close to the university and in walking distance of many restaurants and shops, Petit Soleil is a very comfortable and convenient place to stay in SLO. They have a small parking lot that is shared with the restaurant next door. The B&B has two floors and the doors face outward. The first night I stayed in a room near the street on the second floor. It was a little noisier there because of its proximity to the street and the staircase, but other than that the room was very nice. I ran into a hiccup with the hot water. I wasn't getting any in my room. In the morning I let the front desk know, and they explained that the renovations taking place in the room beneath mine had accidentally caused the hot water to shut off. They had someone look into it while I was eating breakfast (which is included each morning, and was VERY good!) and they were able to figure it out. Although the lack of hot water was initially inconvenient, they were able to fix it in time for me to get ready for the day and take a hot shower. Raven was also very gracious and gifted me a bottle of red wine and a souvenir wine glass as a way of making it right. For my second night, I needed to switch rooms. Not because of the hot water issue, which had been resolved but because I needed to add on a second night last minute. The transition was very easy. The staff even had my luggage transferred to my new room while I was at my work event for the day. As promised, there was a bottle of wine waiting for me. My new room I like even better than my first one. It was tucked away near the back of the building this time, away from the street, so it was much quieter than the first night. The aperitif hour in the cafe/courtyard was really lovely. A glass of wine and a plate of finger foods is included with your room. It was the perfect way to unwind after a busy day. It really felt like a little taste of Europe! The staff was again very kind and responsive. The rooms were comfortable and clean. They were well decorated and stayed in the quaint B&B theme. I would definitely like to stay here again, and I think my husband would enjoy this place, too. We could even bring our dog next time, as they are dog friendly. Thanks for a great stay and great service! read more

Beautiful with great service! This was exactly what we needed and the website explained everything we received. We were in a queen room and the bed was so comfortable, the shower green tile was beautiful, and the room frig was very well stocked. We had wonderful conversations with other couples staying there during the evening apéritif hour and an evening walk. It is close to town and an easy walk to food venues. The apéritif hour and breakfast were perfect. Next time we will plan our a stay for more then one night. read more

This is a cute, tiny bed and breakfast. Rooms are themed with French names. Ours happened to be Le Cochon - "pig" - which we didn't take personally and instead enjoyed the whimsical pig decor of our room. The room itself was quite small with just enough room for the queen bed (which was exceptionally comfortable) to fit. The shower was barely big enough to move your arms but the water pressure was excellent and there was plenty of hot water. The usual amenities were present in the bathroom. There was a silent heater/AC unit as well as an overhead fan to keep us comfortable in any temperature. The walls were paper thin so heavy footsteps and conversations from next door were disturbing but fortunately our neighbors were rarely in the room (neither were we). We slept well as it is located in a quiet neighborhood. The food served here was amazing. Breakfasts enjoyed by my wife and I included french toast, pancakes, and eggs florentine. Good coffee and a choice of pastries were offered prior to breakfast. They also have a nightly wine social with choices of wines (other adult offerings are available) and hors d'oeuvres such as spiced nuts, cured meat, sliced apples, and pastries. Food was served in a nicely decorated indoor dining room or you could choose to eat at a table in either a lovely front or rear patio amidst fountains and flowers. Although I don't know any of their names, I definitely wish to praise each and every staff person for their excellent, cheerful service. Without exception each of them showered us with warmth and contributed in making our stay wonderful. Petit Soliel is located around a half mile from downtown which was an easy 15 minute walk. Parking is conveniently available in an adjacent restaurant lot. Despite my quibbles about the room itself, we found this place to be charming and would stay here again in a heartbeat. As an aside, this is a pet friendly bed and breakfast and your dog(s) are welcome. read more

Annie, thank you! The customer service at Petit Soleil is spot on and it clearly starts from the top down, beginning with Annie, the owner. The sparkle of this lovely lady exudes from her pores and is carrying on the legacy of her parents who owned and ran the property prior to Annie and her husband taking over the reins in the last year or so. When my girlfriend and I decided to visit San Luis Obispo, finding a place to stay took the priority. Walkability and price were our two most important driving factors and how we settled on Petit Soleil. But it was customer service, quality breakfast and cleanliness that absolutely stuck out to us and why we agree we made a good decision on picking this charming little spot. So for two fit women, the walkability to main streets, the mission, wandering of surrounding neighborhoods, Thursday night Farmers Market, restaurants, wine bars, etc. was perfect. Not a bad area, totally felt safe, all good. As a few Yelp reviewers indicated that this B&B is located on a busy street, indeed it is, but having a room ourselves that actually was closest to those busy streets, the sound was not a problem to us in the slightest. Traffic settles and slows around 10-11pm and then all is relatively quiet. We paid about $1000 for our four nights in a room that included one queen bed and a trundle. I personally slept on the trundle and it was remarkably more comfortable than I expected. Firm, not lumpy. I am 5'7 and not a small person and found happiness on the trundle. The room was very clean and void of dust in all those spots one hates to find dust in a hotel ...light bulbs, bed railings, window sills, etc. It has charming touches like clean lace curtains, a bright floral shower curtain, crisp white quilts. For having the charm of an older spot, the room and property have been shown lots of love. The breakfast that comes with the room is quite nice. A daily sampling of fresh pastries are served and you then can choose from one savory or one sweet hot breakfast item (like blueberry pancakes or a quiche). This is not self serve, but we thought the portion sizes were quite ample. Equally at night, for their happy hour, you can select from several whites or red, in addition to a beer or two. This part of the stay is not why we selected Petit Soleil, but a bonus. Annie and her spouse Rob, in addition to Dante, Rachel and all the other lovely staff members who are present at breakfast, check-in, helping with bags to room, cleaning off tables at happy hour, conversing with guests....genuine, friendly, warm, helpful, kind at every single guest touch point. These owners and this team are the reason you should choose this property when visiting SLO. They will make you feel appreciated and welcome in a way that makes you feel you made a good investment in your decision to stay at Petit Soleil. I would highly recommend and would stay again in the event I am in the area in the future. read more

What a fantastic first stay at Petit Soleil! My three girlfriends and I couldn't have chosen a better spot for our long-overdue girls' weekend. Its cozy charm, cleanliness, and proximity to everything we wanted made it ideal. The staff were outstanding - so accommodating, friendly, and knowledgeable, always ready to help with a smile. Our brand-new conjoined suites above the future restaurant were even more beautiful than pictured online. The thoughtful touches, like the handwritten note and the sound machine for the street traffic, really made our stay special. We loved the delicious breakfast and the enjoyable happy hour with great wines and appetizers. The easy parking was a bonus. Petit Soleil, we'll be back next May! read more

This is a boutique hotel with all the amenities of a bed and breakfast. It's super CUTE and charming. We loved the decor, the room was quaint but so comfortable and beautiful!!

In the morning offer a complimentary breakfast and a coffee bar with warm fresh pastries. We had a beautiful time sitting in the French inspired patio. The best part is that they are dog friendly and were so sweet to our Aussie. They even offered her a homemade treat! Stay here if you're in SLO! You'll love it!! read more
