This place offers good value for a delightful, romantic stay.
My girl friend and I stayed here last October in an airy, spacious suite, which had two comfortable beds, good quality linen, windows galore that looked out onto the rooftops of Arles, lovely French feel to the decor and the whole place. The location of the hotel could not be more central, just around the corner is the Amphitheatre, the Baths etc. Walking around town and looking for good restaurants was a pleasure. Parking was a breeze. There are about 5 spaces about 20 steps from the door of the hotel and 50 plus more about 50 steps away between this property and Le Calendal. There are two computers on the ground floor free for the use of its guests. The included continental breakfast
was the best hotel breakfast we had during our trip and that is saying a lot as we also stayed at Ducasse's Bastide des Moustiers at Ste Marie des Moustiers and La Perouse in Nice. The breakfast room was simple and rustic French, the pastries perfectly fresh, the cheeses were excellent, the coffee good but it is the assorted homemade jam served with the bread that is just outstanding. The staff was pleasant and helpful without being obtrusive.
The hotel can be a little hard to find as signs pointing to it disappear at critical junctures and the roads are really narrow. The best way is to follow signs for Le Calendal as the hotel is about two minutes around the corner from Calendal. The hotel has no lift and the rooms differ in amenities, some do not have bathtubs.
We abolutely loved this hotel and still reminisce about it. And while you are in Arles you must have dinner at L'Atelier. For about 70 euro pp, you get 14 (?) dishes and wine and a true gastronomic experience. La Boheme also walking distance from the hotel is another good place to have dinner.
