Travellers praise Petit Soleil - Bed, Breakfast and Bar for exceptionally friendly service, a delicious included breakfast with an evening aperitif hour, cozy well-appointed rooms, and a walkable location near downtown SLO and Cal Poly.
Rooms and common areas are kept very clean, with comfortable beds, quality linens, and charming French-inspired decor. Recurring drawbacks include noise from neighboring rooms or upstairs, plus occasional hiccups like tricky TVs, small bathrooms or rooms, limited parking during nearby construction, and a few value or extra-guest fee concerns. Overall, it suits travelers seeking a charming, low-key inn with thoughtful extras and easy access to town.

The positives: I loved the personal feel of this quaint little spot. The breakfast is delicious and included. The staff is friendly. Our issues were these: they charged us an extra $80 (!) per night because we had our two teens with us. I didn't even realize that when we made the reservation it was made for 2 people, but it was definitely made for 2 queen beds, obviously a room for 4 people. They told us they would charge us $40 extra per night and I was hesitant but said OK, then saw it was $40 per child, per night. We didn't see this until we got home and had the invoice emailed to us. Our heater didn't work and temps dropped to 30's overnight so we were pretty cold. We told them twice when we got there and they weren't able to fix it until the morning we left. Personally, they should have comped us the $80 fee for the fact that we were cold all night without a heater. The parking is a bit messy as they are doing construction on the building next door (to expand!)

Loved this place! Super convenient/walking distance to downtown, super easy check in and out, fairly priced, super friendly/helpful staff, and just really cute! Love the boutique vibe. Complimentary hors d'oeuvres/drink hour each evening & breakfast each morning was a bonus. They also allow pets which is awesome! Will definitely stay here again when we’re back in SLO!!

This little gem in the heart of San Luis Obispo is not to be missed. The hotel is comfortable and clean, the service is excellent and, best of all, is dog friendly. They serve a homemade breakfast with homemade dog biscuits. My second time there was even better than the first. We’ll be back!

An incredibly beautiful property. This hotel has been completely remodeled to resemble a luxury bed and breakfast. The staff is super friendly and the facilities are outstanding. They greet you with a generous happy hour in the evening with wines, cocktails and charcuterie set up in their beautifully appointed and welcoming patio and lobby. The rooms are luxurious and the beds super comfortable. There’s attention to detail and love in their decor everywhere. Lovely place walking distance to the mission and downtown. Must stay here while in SLO. I’ll definitely return.

We had an overall good stay, and the staff was friendly, but for the price point, we expected better value. The room felt a bit outdated (e.g., a leaking toilet) and lacked some basic amenities like a tea kettle or coffee machine, which are usually standard at this level. Additionally, noise from the room above—especially footsteps—was surprisingly noticeable and disrupted the quiet we were hoping for. The hotel has potential, but a few upgrades and more attention to detail would go a long way in justifying the rate compared to other options in the area.

All was beautiful for a last minute overnight. Staff fantastic. Only alert is that I was on the ground floor… away from street and construction but the occupants above me could be heard clearly walking across room. Woke me up both at night around 11-12 pm then again at 5:00-6 am. Not super good insulation. Otherwise a fantastic place to stay- lone the room and area. Would love coffee pot in room!

The room was great and spacious for our family. We enjoyed being close to downtown and the freeway. Breakfast was delicious and we appreciated the complimentary happy hour. The only minor draw back was the noise (I'm guessing from the bar underneath?). Not that there can be much done about that but I think it would be good to note. The staff was very friendly and accommodating. We truly enjoyed our stay and will definitely be back in the future.

The property and room were lovely, but I felt like I was in a home and could hear everything from upstairs and next door. Someone in the room next to me was loudly snoring. On the other side I could hear a couple’s conversation and from upstairs there was constant tapping noise on the floor. It was extremely difficult to sleep with noise from every direction.

I think the most important aspect about this property is the staff. They are exceptionally friendly & helpful. Jaycee even came to our room to help us figure out how to use the tv. But all of the staff are extremely friendly, courteous & helpful. Only two things I can think of could improve our trip: 1. Having access to regular channels, such as CBS, NBC, ABC & FOX; and 2. I couldn't get the air conditioner to get the room as cool as I like when I sleep. (But that actually may have been just operator error.) We loved the breakfast, the physical facility, and it's location. We very much enjoyed our stay, but most of all, we appreciated our interactions with the staff. They excel.

Small but beautifully appointed room and bathroom. The decor in courtyards and dining hall also very charming and tastefully done. Then location is about 15 min walk from downtown in a fairly industrial neighborhood. Walking back from downtown in the evening after dinner was a bit unnerving not knowing the town/ area and walking in empty industrial streets. The breakfast was good though they ran out of the only savory option on the menu when we arrived. The afternoon wine/ snacks were a nice touch. The staff working there were excellent.

Mostly Charming hotel on the outskirts of town that is very reminiscent of many places in lovely France. It was mostly quiet. The decor was charming and the quiches and breakfast were really superb. Most staff were really good. It's just that one Staff person was though warm and friendly but a little scoldy about me putting food in the frig. I really paid a lot for this room. I hadn't done anything wrong, and when I tried to explain why this was off putting to staff, they did not exactly get why I found this a tad unpleasant.

A truly exceptional and friendly place to spend a few days in slo-chilled san luis obispo. Top of the review must be the staff, who were warm, friendly and helpful and the sort of people who made you feel welcomed and special. Initial perception of breakfast was slightly underwhelming after the common all you can eat offerings of most hotels… BUT here everything is top class, standouts include the best (homemade) croissants we have ever tasted, a changing daily choice of specials to order including granola, pancakes, french toast and frittata with different mini pastries, hardboiled eggs, orange juice and fruit. And a great bonus gesture, free hors d’oeuvres and a glass of wine or beer served every night between 5 and 6 in an innovative (very) happy hour to set up an exploration of slo’s many restaurants. Our los angeles based friends drove six hours to meet us - and they have vowed to return soon - without us. A rare find

We loved our stay at Petit Soleil in San Luis Obispo. This quaint boutique hotel is full of charm and warmth. The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they took excellent care of us throughout our visit. Our room was spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The daily breakfast was absolutely delicious, with fresh, thoughtfully prepared offerings that far exceeded the typical hotel breakfast. The included Aperitif hour in the afternoon was such a lovely touch—great wine, small bites, and a chance to unwind in the charming courtyard. The location is fantastic—within easy walking distance to some of SLO’s best restaurants and shops, yet tucked away just enough to feel peaceful and quiet at night. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in SLO. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, welcoming, and memorable experience!

The staff were incredibly friendly and welcoming, and they took excellent care of us throughout our visit. Our room was spotless, cozy, and tastefully decorated—perfect for a relaxing getaway. The daily breakfast was absolutely delicious, with fresh, thoughtfully prepared offerings that far exceeded the typical hotel breakfast. The included Aperitif hour in the afternoon was such a lovely touch—great wine, small bites, and a chance to unwind in the charming courtyard. The location is fantastic—within easy walking distance to some of SLO’s best restaurants and shops, yet tucked away just enough to feel peaceful and quiet at night. We will definitely stay here again the next time we are in SLO. Highly recommended for anyone looking for a warm, welcoming, and memorable experience!

Small but beautifully appointed room and bathroom. The decor in courtyards and dining hall also very charming and tastefully done. Then location is about 15 min walk from downtown in a fairly industrial neighborhood. Walking back from downtown in the evening after dinner was a bit unnerving not knowing the town/ area and walking in empty industrial streets. The breakfast was good though they ran out of the only savory option on the menu when we arrived. The afternoon wine/ snacks were a nice touch. The staff working there were excellent.

This is the most charming gem of a hotel. The parking is easy. The rooms are reminiscent of a pretty boutique in Paris. Lovely grounds with complimentary wine and charcuterie. Excellent breakfast with room. The staff was exceptional. The place is spotless in a great walking location to downtown shopping & restaurants.

Love the hotel ambience, decor, wine hour and breakfast. Above all, the amazing staff. Con: 15 min walk from downtown, last 2-3 blocks are deserted at night.

Absolutely Wonderful Stay! From start to finish, this hotel exceeded all expectations. The included breakfast was amazing—delicious, fresh, and a perfect way to start each day. We also loved the evening snacks and wine hour from 5–6pm, which added such a special touch. The staff truly made the experience unforgettable. Everyone we interacted with was incredibly kind, helpful, and welcoming. A huge thank you to Ellie, Dante, and Julianne—you made us feel right at home. Our room was outstanding. The bed and pillows were exceptionally comfortable, and the bathroom products were top-notch—honestly, the best lotion I’ve ever used. Can’t wait to return. Highly recommended!

It’s a cute boutique hotel but the breakfast pretty much ran out before 9:30AM. Limited parking spaces, had to park on the street.

This is a beautiful little boutique hotel, close enough to downtown SLO. Loved everything. Only one small fault: breakfast was included and super yummy, expect for the coffee: bitter and too acidic. My suggestion: upgrade to Bulletproof Coffee! Thank you!

We had a lovely stay at petite Soleil. The room was lovely and beds were great. Complementary wine and poo poos were good. The only thing I would add is more gluten free options for breakfast.
