A friend and I needed a room for only one night as we were returning from the South of France on our way to Geneve. Michael was extremely helpful and friendly on check in and asked if we'd like to see the room first. It was small as is usually the case for 2 star European hotels, but clean and had ample closets and the bathroom was large by European standards. There is no lift and we were on the 2nd (European) floor. We decided to have the breakfast and it was much larger, a bagette, croissant, cereal, yogurt, coffee etc and the attendant was pleasant. If you know Avignon, Hotel le Medieval is located on a narrow street only a few short blocks from the main square Place de l'Horloge (with lots of overpriced tourist restaurants, near the carousel) . You should eat at a really wonderful restaurant L'epicerie on Place Saint Pierre. Ask for directions. We felt Hotel de Medieval was a very good value.

We stayed in Hotel Medieval for two nights after booking a room the night before (we got real lucky to get a room as the theater festivel was in full swing) We got a double with shower for 76 euros per night.

Rooms were nice except for dim lighting and a briefly noisy neighbor across the alley. (It was only a daytime issue but get a courtyard room if you can't stand any noise.) Above-average room size and big closets.

Hotel has nice character as it was an old cardinals Mansion once. Breakfast service was average.

Front Desk service was above average for Europe as they were helpful and friendly.

No Elevator available but this only is an issue for disabled people as hotel only had 4 floors. Adds character in a way I think.

Parking is available in a nearby lot but driving in Avignon is a nightmare beyond anything I ever experienced. It is a pedestrian city that is very car-unfriendly (a good thing for tourists) so take the train or bus here.

I stayed at this hotel for three days from December 14-16. I took advantage of the Bon-Weekend en Avignon promotion which runs through March 2008. Anyway, back to the hotel--the location is about 5-10 minutes from the Avignon Centre Sncf station. It is extremely close to the Palais des Popes--a few minutes up a street in the back. The room was standard size--I stayed in a single; I found it to be a tad small. There was an ensuite toilet and shower and the hotel provides for a free hair dryer if you ask for it. The main reason to stay at this hotel is the great service at the hotel by the personnel. When I first arrived at the hotel Andre greeted me enthusiastically and asked someone to carry luggage to my run. Feeling famished, I asked Andre for a restaurant suggestion. He suggested the Les Caveau au Theatre. Then he helped make a reservation over the phone and gave me a card of the hotel, which enabled me to recieve a free apertif. There is also Mike, an Englishman who helped me with whatever inquires I had, such as where the laundromat was. He was also very friendly and charming. Only negatives about the hotel are the lack of restaraunts and the size of the room.

A friend and I spent five nights here in October. We arrived at about 8.00 on a Sunday night after having rejected the hotel at which we had booked as being too dingy, dirty and smelling of cigarette smoke. Michael could not have been more helpful and was able to accomodate us. The hotel is not easy to find but once there it is surprisingly easy to find one's way around Avignon. It is a charming city and well worth a visit. It is convenient for Aix, Arles, Nimes and the Carmargue all of which are well worth visiting.
The hotel is very old and quite charming. The Staff are very pleasant and most helpful. I hope to return to Avignon for a holiday and if so would certainly stay at Le Medieval
