Pour une nuit
Pros:

Idéalement placé, hôtel qui a le mérite d’avoir été réhabilité qui n’efface pas les limites d’une structure ancienne ce qui explique une chambre assez petite et une salle de bain qui l’est tout autant. Accueil et personnel attentionné

Pros:

This was a small hotel located in the center of St. Maximin-la-Sainte Baume. The rooms are very clean and charming. The breakfast is fantastic and free parking lots are nearby. It is a 5 minute walk to the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene and about a 30-45 minute drive to the St Mary Magdalene Grotto. Staff are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel and area.

Pros:

There were mixed reviews about this hotel online. But I found it charming, the room was lovely and the reception staff very helpful. It’s directly in the centre of the town and 5 mins away from the basilica of St Mary Magdalene - whose skull is on display there. A beautiful experience overall.

Jolie petit hôtel, accueil sympa, bien situé, très propre et bien équipé. Pas de bruit sur la rue, mais un petit bémol pour l'isolation à l'intérieur des chambres.

Central et charmant
Pros:

Hôtel avec charme de l'ancien. Bon accueil. Chambre calme ne donnant pas sur la rue, assez grande, sdb avec douche, pdj complet (manque des plats salés chauds). Parking à 150m gratuit le soir et le dimanche.
Climatisation un peu bruyante et avec affichage trop lumineux la nuit

One night in August
Pros:

We stayed just for one night prior to a wedding. We were warmly greeted on arrival. There were no problems with language. The room was basic but provided all our needs and the breakfast was excellent. The hotel was close to the town square for our evening meal.

Basic room. Could use some renovation.
Pros:

The room was very basic and could use a little renovation. The bath towels are clean, but very small and worn out and thin. There is no toilet paper holder.
