Un truc de fou cet hôtel, énormément de cachets dans l'ancien, un personnel aux petits soins, des chambres confortables et spacieuses, une piscines au coeudu centre ville...
Franchement, je fais souvent des nuuts d'hôtels, celui ci a la palme d'or.
Et point de vue tarifs, c'est vraiment pas cher.

Nice hotel in the centre of Arles, but it does not offer “free valet parking” as advertised on Expedia. The cost of parking is 15 Euros

Ein sehr schönes Hotel in fantastischer Lage. Der Pool mit Bar nebendran ist klasse und da das Wasser nicht geheizt ist, auch sehr erfrischend. Der Service war sehr freundlich.
Lediglich das Frühstück vermochte uns nicht ganz zu überzeugen. Es gab keine gute Käseauswahl, wenig frisches Obst und insgesamt wenig Inspiriertes.

Charming hotel in an ideal location
Very charming hotel with beautiful pool & gardens. The staff were very lovely and accomodating. Perfect location in the Place du Forum opposite Van Gogh’s cafe.
While the bed was comfortable, the rooms & decor are dated.

Lovely hotel in the heart of Arles
Really enjoyed staying here, the room was spacious and newly renovated including the washroom
Staff was nice and friendly.
The pool areas and the bar are so cute and charming. Specially the bar that has a 40s vibe
Location is great , 5 min walk to the Amphitheatre, 2 min to Sr Trophine Church and eight in the place of the Van Gogh restaurant
Park at the P Centeun is only 250mts walk and the cost is like 20 euros for 24hrs
Great stay ! Would come here again
If I have to point something negative it will be my room had no view but I didn’t go to Arles to stay in the room 😃

To get to the property we had to phone the hotel so they could raise the impediment in the middle of the road to get in. Once in, we were guided to the property by the front desk thru a series of very narrow roads - which i did not like.

This hotel was in an excellent area of Arles right on one of the main squares- excellent cafes right outside your door. The pool area was beautiful but the bar was not open while we were there which was a disappointment. The room was very old but nice and the bed comfortable. I didn’t love the bedspread and blanket on the bed - I prefer a duvet but it was hot and we didn’t need it. Overall a nice historic hotel that it is very good condition- staff were great and really helped us out when our taxi did not show up! I would recommend

Once we found it, great!
The hotel was wonderful, in a great location, clean, comfortable, with a friendly and attentive staff. If you're driving, GPS is not likely going to be your friend, since it will send you down streets that are blocked for pedestrians and also the wrong way on one-way streets. You should call the hotel and let them guide you. Be aware that you have to collect your car by noon on check-out day.

The condition of the toilet in the room was appalling. The floorboards were rotted and the toilet smelled like a drain. Even though the room was serviced daily the smell remained throughout our 3 night stay. The staff must be aware of the smell. For 110 euros per night that is very unfair.

The BEST staff! I arrived in Arles at eight in the evening. There were no taxis available even by phone. The evening clerk at the hotel guided me for blocks by phone (!) and then stepped out into the square to wave to me to help me find the building. As a 75 year old woman traveling alone, he seemed like an angel!
The daytime clerk was so helpful too and the breakfast server took time to chat with me about restaurants! What a great group of people!
