The location cannot be beat...right in the heart of Avignon! Ask for a room off the square...they are much quieter. Breakfast is terrific...and as a business traveler they made sure everything was easy. I am anxious to return.

My partner and I stayed a week in the Hotel d'Horloge, while I was on a conference. The hotel is clean, well-presented and centrally located, with very friendly receptionists, who speak perfect English. As Fracnophiles, we were keen to polish our french and they were happy to oblige us, even with a smile. On arrival, I was presented with a bunch of flowers (from a friend not the hotel) and the receptionist went out of her way to borrow a champagne bucket (as a vase) from a nearby pub!

The room was slightly small but more than adequate and the bathroom was large and new - the bath was sumptuous! We also had a separate toilet. The plumbing was a little noisy, but we managed to ignore it after the first night and it didn't bother us. One thing that did annoy us was the lack of drawers for us to unpack into, but there was a cupboard. There was a TV with French/English/German/Italian channels (mostly news and sport).

The included breakfast was wonderful - so much food and great variety! Cereals, fruit, bread, sausgaes and eggs, coffee, tea.... Local cafes charged 6euros for just a small criossant and coffee!

My colleagues stayed in other hotels around the square and generally complained about the standard (noisy, dirty, old furnishings etc). I would recommend this hotel to anyone! We enjoyed it, much to the envy of colleagues!

We stayed in a standard room in Apr. Housekeeping is good and the room is clean. The hotel staff is helpful and spoke english quite well. It is located very near the Palais des Papes. However, Avignon centre is a small area and all the attractions are within walking distance, so I feel that staying near the main attraction is not necessary. I find the hotel room small. The shower is a small standing shower stall with no bathtub. There is no holder for the shower head so you have to keep holding the shower head when showering. There is also no tray or holder in the stall to put any toiletries like shampoo and body foam.

We stayed at the Horloge albeit just for 1 night, but we were sorry we couldn't stay for longer as we loved it! Friendly staff and a lovely cosy and nicely decorated hotel (very contemporary). Our room had just had a new carpet put in it and the bathroom was really clean and smart. We had a lovely view from our window overlooking rooftops and beyond. The best part though was the breakfast- it was a feast! We could have eaten enough to see us through to the next day!! There was a choice of pastries, eggs, fruit, cheeses and hams and a range of hot and cold drinks. Lovely breakfast room as well.
I read a negative review for this hotel but I don't think you can complain about a hotel based on the square it's next to... and I disagree, as the square has a lot of lovely cafés/ restaurants to suit everyone's tastes. Also the location is amazing- you're just around the corner from the palais des papes.
Well worth it for the price (we paid £60 for the room for 1 night including the sumptuous breakfast!).
