Pros:

Staff was very nice and accommodating. We were able to check out early but leave our bags at the front desk so that we could tour the Palace of the Popes before our train ride! Location is super-5 minute walk to Avignon Centre train station

From checkin to check out the staff were friendly and very helpful. The hotel is very pretty and clean. They really take massive pride in your experience. Breakfast had something for everyone. The bed was very comfortable and room well laid out. I can’t say enough about this experience which was wonderful. Highly recommend!!!

The room smelled like sewage backup. One of the 4 days during our stay, there was no hot water. The in-room safe did not work.

Pros:

The hotel looked much nicer in photos. The style was great minus the condition of the entire place. It was very cheaply redone, just a new paint job/wallpaper, and newer but very cheap and poorly styled rooms. The bathroom was the worst part given the sloped floor which has clearly led to water damage all along the baseboards which were peeling off and crumbling apart. Same thing for baseboards in the room actually, and the floor panels were popping up as well.

Do NOT book this hotel if customer service is key
Pros:

If location is your primary objective in Avignon, this hotel works. If you want customer service and clean accommodations, this is NOT IT. We originally booked for three nights, paid ahead of stay, and because we could not get a train back to Brussels on the last day, we had to reduce our stay to two nights. We inquired about a refund for the one night weeks ahead of the trip and heard nothing from the hotel. During our stay, upon entering the room, the small was horrible. Giving them the benefit of the doubt, we didn't report it. The next day, upon returning from a tour, it was unbearable (sewer aroma). We called the front desk. A young man appeared with a spray bottle and confirmed the smell. He offered to move us but they were booked. I asked about the refund for the third night and we would stay in the room. He said yes and would leave a note about the room conditions. Needless to say, the woman at the front desk said they didn't do anything like that and would not even discuss. Handle it via email, she said. I did, and still no response. The photos of the hotel (lobby, bar, entrance) are real. I paid $1300.00 for two nights (three night booking)at a hotel that would not even discuss issues. Terrible customer service. This is one reason (for cancellations) I use Hotels.com. Now, I'm reconsidering this as well.

Lovely Stay
Pros:

Booked two rooms - one for myself, one for my parents. They were in the same category. My room was a fine size. My parents’ was even better - there was even a little foyer and the bathroom was big.

No restaurant (except for breakfast) and no one ever manned the bar. But there’s a restaurant right next door that’s open late, with delicious drinks (including mocktails).

Staff were friendly and let me practice my French on them.
