Reviews and Ratings
The hotel was a delightful place to stay with impressive rooms and excellent service. The location was perfect for exploring Avignon, and the dining experience, although just okay, offered a quaint continental style. The facilities were enjoyable, but there could be room for improvement in breakfast choices.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and comfortable, with even bigger super comfy beds that made my sleep truly relaxing. The location couldn't have been better, situated in a quaint part of the city, ideal for exploring not only Avignon but also nearby attractions like Pont du Gard and the wine country.
The hotel had a mix of positives and negatives. While the rooms were quite old and rundown, they were surprisingly spotless and comfy with a big, cozy bed and air conditioning. The service was a bit inconsistent - helpful but a bit slow at times. The location was good with nearby amenities, but not outstanding. The dining was decent but could use some improvements. Overall, a reasonable option for the price paid.
I had a great experience at this hotel. The rooms were very clean and luxurious, well-appointed, and the most spacious I've had in France. The service was wonderful, although at times they seemed to prioritize other guests. The location was perfect, just inside the city wall a few blocks from the heart of the old city. The dining options were a bit disappointing and outrageously expensive, but the facilities were top-notch.
My stay at the hotel was truly delightful. The rooms were very nicely appointed and exceptionally comfortable, offering a nice outlook over the courtyard. However, I did have to be careful due to my allergies, and the carpet in some areas needed updating as it was peeling away from the walls. The service was top-notch with such friendly and helpful staff. The location was superb for exploring Avignon and its surroundings. The dining experience was a mix of highs and lows, and the facilities overall were satisfactory.
