My stay at the hotel was lovely. The rooms were very spacious and clean with a breathtaking view of La Cite through my window. While the room was a bit small, it was more than adequate for a couple of nights. The street noise outside was quite loud, though. The service was exceptional, as the staff were very helpful with advice on local restaurants and booking taxis. They even waived the first night fee for our friends who had to cancel last minute. The location was perfect, nestled between the new town and La Cite, with plenty of restaurants and cafes within a five-minute walk. The dining experience was fantastic, offering a French buffet that was well laid out and ample. The facilities were great, and the facilities were excellent.

I absolutely loved my stay at the hotel. The location was perfect, walking distance from all the major Roman sites in downtown Arles. The rooms were pretty, although small with a steep staircase, so not ideal for those with mobility issues. The service was outstanding, very friendly and helpful, providing excellent recommendations and even going the extra mile to email me when I forgot something. The dining experience was very good, especially in the beautiful garden setting. Overall, a great value for money.

The rooms, while very pretty, were on the small side with a fairly steep staircase. However, they were of average size for France. It's important to remember that European rooms tend to be smaller than North American ones.

The hotel offers a pleasant outlook to the garden courtyard below but would benefit from upgrading. The rooms are beautiful, very modern, and clean, nicely furnished with a lovely view of the garden, making them ideal for different needs. The service provided by the hotel staff was wonderful, helpful, and included thoughtful gestures like a bottle of wine on the rooftop terrace. The location is perfect, just over the Pont Vieux with stunning views of the Medieval city. The dining options offer good value and a variety of delicious items, though missing croissants, set in a charming atmosphere. The facilities are well-kept, providing guests with a comfortable stay.
