Positive Reviews
positive:
Steps from the TGV...
Travellers appreciate that the TGV station is within a short walk, and the surrounding neighbourhood is otherwise very quiet. There's a bus stop out front, and the free parking is very convenient for those who hire a car at the station. The reception desk is staffed 24-hours and will hold luggage, so guests can make the most of their time in the city.
positive:
Friendly, helpful staff...
Many guests describe the front desk staff as friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable about the area, pleased to suggest places to visit. Most staff members are fluent in English as well as French. The wait staff in the hotel restaurant are often praised for their hard work, though some guests report that there are too few of them during peak times.
positive:
Clean, cosy, good value...
The guest rooms are generally described as modern, clean, and comfortable, with just elbow room to go around for couples or small families. The rates are widely considered reasonable, too.
Negative Reviews
negative:
Wi-Fi signal is a little weak...
Several guests have reported difficulty accessing the Wi-Fi, or else find the speed frustratingly slow. Those who end up watching television instead report a good variety of channels.
negative:
A hot night for some...
Several guests have arrived to find the air conditioning out of service, or else operational but too noisy for a good night's sleep.
negative:
Mixed reviews for the restaurant...
Reviews of both the breakfast buffet and dinner menu are a bit uneven, with some guests speculating that the food is overpriced due to the lack of nearby competition. The closest restaurants are fast food chains, but there are many tasty options in Avignon city centre.
