Très agréable
Pros:

L’accueil, la décoration et le confort de la chambre

Les œufs du petit déjeuner donc cela reste anecdotique :) et la salle de bain mériterait quelques travaux d’entretien

Maybe I got the worst room in the hotel, but this is absolutely not a 4 star hotel and does not warrant an 8.4 rating.
Pros:

The location was very convenient - near train, tourist information and restaurants. Bed was comfy. The remodeled bath was nice. The room was a good size. Reception was (mostly) friendly and helpful.

Cons:

There was a lift but were many stairs to be negotiated to get into the hotel, to get to the lift and even to reach some of the rooms on each floor. There was only 1 electrical outlet in the entire room in an inconvenient location. The towels were old and thin. Dark, dark dark room. Appointment needed for included breakfast. Hot breakfast items were ice cold and on last day not even cooked (see photo). Water and coffee not replenished during 3 day visit. Bar advertised as open daily, was not.

A pleasant hotel in a convenient location, ideal for a stopover.
Pros:

Great location a short walk from the station and on the edge of the city centre.

Cons:

Original room was noisy as close to lift and stairs. We changed to a room on a high floor which was much better.

Comfortable hotel in a great location with some wonderful staff!
Pros:

The location was great, so convenient to the local train and buses. The area was so walkable with wonderful restaurants, shops and bars. The breakfast overseen by Marius and his staff who were all wonderful. Walid at the front desk was exceptionally helpful and spoke perfect English. Mona was helpful when we wanted to stay in one night and eat and drink our carry in the very comfortable sitting room.

Best location in Avignon!
Pros:

The location was amazing!

Cons:

Staff was way overworked, and there were not enough of them to help provide customer service. That made the staff grumpy a lot of the times, even though they were trying very hard to take care of us.

If this had 2* and cost 70 euros, it would still have been substandard.
Pros:

Friendly receptionist

Cons:

Tired, noisy and expensive. Bathroom was dirty, chipped paint everywhere and rotton doorframe. VIrtually nowhere to plug in chargers, one tiny towel so old and thin you could see through it.

Great location and character
Pros:

Central location in the old town. Attractive room with two French windows looking over the main street which was reasonably quiet; air con; bath in bathroom

Cons:

Breakfast was very disappointing not helped by a spider on the table - the hotel needs to improve their provision - better cereal, bread, croissant, fruit, tea selection
