A little hidden gem in Avignon. As per the name, the hotel is very central to most things you would want to visit in the city. We had a great experience there.

A room with a view
Good communication prior to arrive very helpful with how best to get to the hotel and dinning recommendations. My room was on the top floor with its own large, covered deck. Room was clean and with an updated bathroom : I forgot my cell charger and when I returned from lunch it was at the front desk for me. A wonderful stay and I highly recommend

Great Cental Location!
This hotel is located in a neat historic building in a central location which made discovering the city and finding meals super easy. The staff was super friendly and worked with us in English since our French needs some work. Our room and the common areas are nice enough but had been loved over the years and could use some updating. An important note is that there is no elevator/lift which is common in old buildings but carrying large bags up 3 floors left me very tired even for a 38nyr old man. The staff had offered to help with bags but of course I didn’t think it would be that bad until my 3 trip back up. The stairway was narrower so I took multiple trips to avoid banging up their walls. The hotel had a bar in the lobby courtyard which had amazing drinks we absolutely recommend the St Germain Spritz or Lavender Spritz. Would stay again.

Smelled of urine and did not refund!
Room smelled strongly of urine and was inhabitable. Front desk wasn’t helpful and we had to leave within minutes and find alternate accommodation at our own expense. Requested a refund and got declined. Would NOT recommend

No frills hotel. Cute decor but small and very dated inside. Our family room overlooked the courtyard and it got loud at times at night. Breakfast buffet was basic but good.

Hotel is easy walk from train station.
Front desk staff were courteous.
Room was as expected...updated bathroom was a plus.
Rooms and stairs are covered by a dirty, matted wall to wall carpet. Filthy...do not take off your shoes.

Money-driven only.
Bad customer service, making money seems the only purpose - keep selling specific restaurant, the aircon is not cold at all, no proper bed sheet but a simple mattress protector. Internet is quite unstable and very slow in room, no lift and the male reception pointed me to wrong building and I claimed to the wrong top floor.

Breakfast is below average, bad location, homeless people congregating around hotel, air conditioning malfunctioned, water pressure in the shower was very low and you should wait for several min for water to become hot. Hotel double charged us for the stay and owner refused to issue a refund.

Very very well located in the old city, quite close to the train/bus stations, but also a quick walk to the main squares and the Papal Palace. Staff was friendly, buffet breakfast was sufficient, and was an unexpectedly large and comfortable room. Would stay here again for sure.
