Petit Soleil

Had a fantastic time here and really enjoyed the adorable room. The breakfast they provided was delicious and the entire staff was very attentive. They even gave our dog a little treat while we were there.

My husband and I stayed there over our anniversary weekend. What an amazing place! Quaint, charming, clean, accommodating staff. We stayed in the suite with a fireplace. The suite was phenomenal. Large comfy bed, lots of room, a sitting area, and the bathroom was beautiful. A large breakfast was served each morning and wine and appetizers were served each evening. It was close enough to the downtown action that we were able to walk. Will definitely stay there again. Highly recommend!

Adorable hotel. Unique, extremely welcoming and personable staff. Great upon arrival, offering bikes to ride into town. Happy hour with wine and appetizers. Phenomenal breakfast too. Will definitely be back!

Will stay here any time we are in SLO. Breakfast was delicious and we loved our room.

Me and my friend stayed in the Soleil room this past weekend for 1 night. This place is so cute and has an extremely warm staff! I had casually mentioned we were down there for our bday weekend, when we came back after being out we were surprised with a bottle of champagne, birthday cards, and some delicious chocolates! So sweet! The breakfast they prepared in the morning was also amazing. My friend got the Chilaquiles and I got the Lemon Coconut pancakes. Highly recommend this place!

My husband and I spent 4 nights in their suite. It is really beautiful. The staff that works at Petit Soleil are wonderful, polite, professional and will do anything for you. You must go down for the free breakfast every morning you are there. The menu is different every day and very good, I ate things I would have never tried here at home. We recommend this place to anyone that wants a really nice getaway. It is really perfect! We are looking forward to returning again soon.

A wonderful two-​night stay over the Christmas holiday. Petit Soleil is run by a most courteous and thoughtful staff. Each room expertly rides the fine line between themed and tacky, boasting easily translated noms de chambres and adorable Pierrot dolls. The breakfast selections are hot and satisfying, the afternoon wine generous and warming. Initially, staying at a B&B had me worried; friends have often spoken of hosts who were upset if you did not join them promptly for breakfast or engage in their self-​centered conversations. My first B&B experience leaves me not threatened by pushy half-​relations but instead yearning to return to the casual and attentive comforts of this quaint, Frenchy abode.

Our most favorite hotel in wine country. Breakfast is homemade every morning and included in the hotel price. It is a dog friendly hotel and they make homemade dog treats. End it includes happy hour with wines from San Luis Obispo and Spain. With an awesome meat and cheese fruit plate. Also included in the price of the hotel. Family run and beautiful rooms. A must

It’s a nice and clean B&B. The staff is friendly & helpful. Our room was cute and clean. Wine tasting was so-​so. We love wine but did not care for the choices they gave us. Their roasted almonds & quiche were delicious.
The only think is that the AC makes noise.

Came to this beautiful BnB with my folks to celebrate their 80^th Birthdays and 58^th Anniversary. What a darling place this is. Everything is so charming and well thought out. It’s apparent how truly caring the owners are with all that they’ve done to make this place feel so homey and special. We got the biggest suite to accommodate the 3 of us comfortably. The room is really a good size being that it’s long and separated by a fireplace in the middle. Nice hardwood floors. The folks had their area more private and I enjoyed the front of the room where there’s a couch bed, large TV and lots of other sweet furniture and accessory touches. The room has a nice small refrigerator inside a buffet table with a beautiful colorful tile sink. The bathroom is fabulous. Large with double sinks and a big tiled shower offering two heads to choose from should you not want to wash your hair. The sample shampoos and lotions are from the renown L’Occitane, adding to that really special thought out detailed touch of this Bed and Breakfast. I was impressed by the towels, being they are thick, and an obvious good quality. Plus there’s a special washcloth that removes make up without staining the cloth. The charm of the place is all in the French theme with a courtyard in front and back, both with lovely water details, and plenty of pretty plants and flowers. Every morning the breakfast offerings are beautiful homemade selections and served so creatively buffet style. Everything from granola, fresh seasonal fruits, hard boiled eggs, frittata, pancakes and misc pastries, bagels, coffees and teas. In the afternoons at 5 they offer gorgeous selections of wine served with a plate of appetizers displayed so beautifully. Typically there’s a few slices of a crisp apple, a few pieces of gourmet cheese, several candied almonds homemade, and a piece of toast with bean and tuna spread. The wines appear to be local wines made here in the area. In the evening they turn down your sheets and leave a chocolate truffle from the local Chocolate Shop next door.
The location is really perfect. It’s only a few minute walk to the heart of downtown and very close to the freeway. On the same lot as the BnB there’s a wonderful fresh seafood café, casual but excellent food. There’s so much to see and do in this town that you can be gone all day or relax in your room should you choose. We took a short drive to Avila Beach to feel the breeze on our skin after the heat wave we were having in the desert. i could go on and on, but I will stop here in saying that we all loved our stay here and felt it was worth every cent. The staff were all so accommodating and friendly and the entire place was clean and spotless. If I could give 20 stars I would!

This place is amazing!
Personalized and Friendly, Very Detailed, Clean, Comfortable Beds, Fresh Cooked French Breakfast, Cocktail for an hour Every Night. This French Country Bed and Breakfast surpassed our expectations. That we cancelled our hotel at San Simeon and drove back for an hour to Check-​In for another night.
Why stay in a Franchised Hotels where Customer Service is not a priority cause Everyone are considered Transients. Petit Soleil is how Hotels should be.

Petit Soleil is a wonderful B&B! We had the pleasure of staying for 3 nights. The L’Occitane grooming products followed by Petit Soleil’s French toast were an awesome way to start our mornings. Although Petit Soleil doesn’t have a parking lot on its own property, they share space with Splash Café next door. Throughout our stay we were never without parking. And yes, the Thursday Night Farmer’s Market on Higuera St. is an easy walk from Petit Soleil. But note, if you’re a light sleeper request one of the rooms directly above the front desk… they’re the farthest from the train tracks.

I found my new lodging place in SLO. It’s as beautiful as it is comfortable. Every little inch of it is Instragramworthy. What I mean by this is it’s beautiful, artsy and pretty as a picture. And unlike the Other B&B in town, it’s not all ridiculously overdone with Victorian this and that. It’s tasteful, it’s private (private bathrooms… hello!), it’s quaint and it’s DOG FRIENDLY! The breakfasts are exquisite and tasty and the owners are all about ensuring that you’re happy and taken care of. You know what, I could stay at the Marriott and accumulate my points blah blah blah. Or I could stay at Petit Soleil and be blissfully happy because I’m supporting a small business that happens to have an eye for detail and is invested in ensuring their guests are happy. I will pay a little bit more just because. And since my kids remind me that YOLO I will be happier and will hopefully ensure that small business/​locally owned wins.

This place is Top Notch! We often travel with our dogs and are prepared to let them sleep in their beds in the car. This place is 100% dog friendly! The owner actually started a friendly conversation about our dogs. This is only one small piece of service they provide.
— Upon check-​in they often have wine and small shared plates.
— The rooms are gorgeous yet quaint.
— Fantastic breakfast is included, not a cheesy continental… They had a delicious Quiche or scramble as well as a bunt cake and scones.
If I could give this place 10 stars I would. Do yourself a favor and stay here!

Staff here is very friendly. Food is hit and miss, but the hits are home runs.
Very accessible to downtown SLO and University.
Nice, clean lodging with consistent service.
Kinda wish patio was open after 10pm, but not a biggie. Just like to read or put on headphones and bug out to Mr Bungle under a heat lamp at weird hours.
I would totally go back

I am always on the hunt for great pet friendly places to stay since we have a little pug.
We came in May so this review is long overdue. It was to celebrate my boyfriend and my anniversary.
This place was so cute. We spent the weekend in the Joie de Vivre room, I think one of their biggest rooms. The breakfast was wonderful! Because of the special occasion they gave us a cute complimentary bottle of sparkling wine to enjoy and a sweetly written card. They have a savory and sweet option for breakfast… we ordered two of each and there wasn’t a hint of judgment :) It was so good I wanted to ask for more!
The location was great, walking distance to downtown SLO, we ended up kayaking on Morro Bay and walking on various beaches.
This place is great!

We decided to stay a couple of nights in San Luis Obispo on our way to Lake Tahoe, where we are getting married. Needed a dog friendly place since we were traveling with our 2 100 lb labrador puppies (yeah, they just turned 1). This place is a hidden gem. The pictures on Unilocal do no justice to this wonderful place.
The one word that came to mind when I saw the place in actuality was — Artistic … the owner has done a fabulous job bringing European charm to SLO. I couldn’t get enough of this place.
The staff was awesomely friendly and helpful. Actually, VERY accommodating.
The rooms are big, very clean and comfortable. They provide La’Occitane products in the bathroom which is AWESOME!!! Guests are invited for appetizers and wine each evening. You can even purchase your favorite bottle. The breakfast spread is very healthy and incredibly delicious. They have home made treats for your fluffy/​furry family member (s).
They have bicycles you can borrow for a nice ride around town. Petit Soleil is just a couple of blocks from Downtown SLO.
We had a wonderful stay at Petit Soleil. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience. Can’t wait to visit again.

This place was beyond wonderful for so many reasons. They serve a wonderful morning coffee with snacks buffet style. They also include a wonderful hot meal as part of your stay.
They offer a turn down service that includes a printout of the weather the next day as well as a tasty truffle from the neighborhood chocolate shop.
Staying here will definitely give a feel of Europe, especially France.
This place is owned by a wonderful couple who really go out of their way to give you a pleasurable experience. Additionally, every staff member was not only a pleasure to be around but were wonderful to talk to. They gave us good advice on places to go and see in SLO.
NOTE TO DOG OWNERS: This place is dog friendly. They are not like most places on the road that merely «tolerate» dogs but they are truly dog friendly. One of the things your pups will enjoy is the house made dog treats that they give their guests.
Thank you so much for providing us with such a wonderful place to stay!

C’est pour notre 28e anniversaire de mariage. C’était magnifique! C’est une chambre d’hôte très charmant.
Le service était superbe!

Couldn’t have asked for a better B&B experience for our quick 3-​night stay in SLO.
The grounds and room itself were so charming. The room was spacious, clean, and serviced each day. Breakfast was delicious and I enjoyed the variety of light buffet options — fruit, toast, pastries, as well as two hot entrée choices. The evening happy hour was great, too. You had a choice of three different wines and different snacks to pair with. Can’t forget the turndown service — complete with chocolate truffles!
Above all else, the service was phenomenal. We were always cheerfully greeted and well taken care of at meal time. Props to the owners and the awesome staff.
My only gripe was the street noise — our room was the closest to Monterey St. so you could always hear the cars. Buuutttt… the customer service, food, and overall charm far outweighs this small inconvenience!

I did not like that the room prices are not posted under reservations but it says to email and get a response. When I emailed to see if they offer the $ 84 state rate, I was quoted for 2014, October 21^st in a Queen room at a rate of $ 169 for one guest. When I suggested that the rates should be posted on the website, I was told, «Our room rates are on our website under „rooms“. You really should try Motel 6 for your $ 84.00 rate.»
(I normally like staying at the Holiday Inn, but they do not always take the state rate. I see The Ramada Inn has rooms at $ 69 and have a pool
, $ 55 at Los Padres Inn
, Motel 6 offers rooms at $ 54
.
I then found
which says:
ROOM RATES:
Sunday — Thursday $ 169.00 Friday, Saturday and Holiday Weekends $ 229.00
SUITE RATES:
Sunday — Thursday $ 239.00 Friday, Saturday and Holiday Weekends $ 299.00
**Rates are based on 1 or 2 guests in the room. Each additional guest is $ 20.
I guess whether you get a King, Queen, Double Queen does not affect price but only if you have a suite or not.
Clicking on the Queen with Trundle option results in «It seems we can’t find what you’re looking for. Perhaps searching, or one of the links below, can help.» Clicking on the other room choices only brings you back to the same page you started on.
I have never stayed here so this rating has nothing to do with the rooms themselves, just the website and customer service. If I knew how to leave a comment without a rating I would have done so.
