"Great value for the price. It’s not fancy but it’s clean and very functional. I appreciate that they have breakfast on site as well as laundry facilities. Very close to the university, and about a 20 minute walk from the tourist office and the center of the old city."

"The Hotel is in the Center of all the places to visit with many restaurants and shops a few steps away. It can get a little noisy but not enough to disturb our sleep. The staff was really nice, the breakfast had plenty of options and they made wonderful cappuccinos. We had a lovely stay"

Interesting city with lots of history & architecture. A short stay prevented us from exploring very much but we spent time in the city centre & visited Pont du Gard. The latter revealed some pretty impressive Roman engineering!

4/5 - Good

Roz

We only had time to visit the Popes palace which was lovely. As were the surrounding streets inside the walls of Avignon

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

Lovey historic city. You need a streetplan. Perhaps from one of the hotels near the railway station. Otherwise you could get lost in the maze of streets inside the historic center. Taxis are rather scarce. Good buses and trains.

5/5 - Excellent

Clau

Really beautiful town

5/5 - Excellent

Verified traveller

There is so much to do and see in this city and by train in the area. I would recommend a bus trip (very good value) to Uzes. Service 115 from the bus station five minutes walk away.
