Reviews and Ratings
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.
I had a wonderful stay at this hotel. The rooms were fantastic with a nice, clean modern bathroom and all the essentials including a lovely espresso machine. The service was top-notch, extremely friendly, and accommodating, even when our arrival plans changed. The location was perfect, just outside the castle walls, offering amazing views and a quiet atmosphere. The dining experience was delightful with a good selection for breakfast. Overall, a great value for money.
The hotel is in a perfect location, nestled between the new town and La Cite, offering easy access to various restaurants and cafes within a short walk. The rooms feature a mix of modern amenities and charming original details, providing a cozy and updated stay. The service was exceptional with attentive and welcoming staff, while the dining experience in the beautiful garden courtyard was simple and tasty.
I had a mixed experience at the hotel. The rooms were spotless and very comfortable, but there was a strong smell of dog the first night, making it a bit unpleasant. Despite feeling somewhat cramped, the bed was delightful, very comfy, and the bathroom was great, with a good shower.
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.
