Very pleased with hotel, lovely to have access from room to own sitting area and pool, shame we did not have more time to make use of the pool. Arles is a lovely town, we would certainly return and also stay at Le Rodin. Directions need to be made clearer, as it is a little difficult to find, and the map provided was not particularly helpful.

Good little hotel. lovely clean, big rooms and a good clean bathroom with shower and bath. We had a ground floor room that opened onto a little terrace over looking the garden and pool (all rooms have pool view with balcony or terrace). The pool was a reasonable size and nice and clean, it was also very quiet and had several plastic beds with cushions to lie on, or a grass area to put towels on if all the beds were taken. We arrived by train, due to its location in a residential area just outside town, it took 25 minutes to walk from the train station (quite a distance with suitcases - but a pleasent walk). The walk to the town is also around 20 minutes. It's fine if you don't mind a little bit of walking, the streets seemed safe enough! However, if you have a car, I can imagine this would be an ideal location as there is plenty of free secure parking in the grounds. Can't comment on the breakfast as I never opted to take it. We simply went to the supermarket at the back of the hotel, or one of the many boulangeries on the road in to town. In summary, a great hotel, just be prepared to walk 20 minutes to get to town if you do not have a car. Also note the 800m from train station is probably "as the crow flies", I would estimate closer to 1800m

Good for one night. A motel more than an hotel. Very kind employees, nice swimming pool, bad surroundings, bad position, room big but furniture a little old. Very clean, anyway.

We enjoyed our stay at the hotel, but it was a little far from the center of town. The walk back at night was a little scary and we ended up driving to town instead of walking. Other than that, the staff was very helpful and the room was clean and quiet.

OTTIMO. un po' decentrato rispetto al centro storico, ma molto quieto e soprattutto carino con le camere che danno sul cortile interno, con piscina riscaldata!!! chiedete una camera al piano terra e alla mattina prima di colazione uscite dalla porta finestra e fatevi una bella nuotata!!!

Price of breakfast (12 euro per person) is too much for the service offered; this reduce the overall rate if you travel with a family. Il prezzo della colazione è troppo elevato (12 euro a persona) per quanto offerto; ciò riduce il voto complessivo, soprattutto se si viaggia come famiglia

Nice hotel (more like a motel) with a lovely pool. The hotel would be better for people with a car as it was a long walk into Arles. Difficult to find! Rooms clean, fresh and bright. No public areas to speak of. Small room for breaklfast so if it was raining then you might struggle for a table. Generally good though for the money.

A small relaxed and secure oasis in a residential area walking distance from Arles centre. Motel style but with excellent standards. Hotel was great but Arles in October had little to offer.

Basically a motel. How does a hotel with no bar and no restaurant get 3 stars? You need your car just to get a meal as there is nothing in this part of town. I thought 10€ for breakfast in a corner of reception to be a bit ambitious.

Were made very welcome, with friendly staff, however "bar" mentioned was a fridge in the foyer with beers and a few cokes - not what was advertised.

This hotel was a pleasant surprise. The grounds were lovely and it was a great location. We stayed another place right in the city center and there is so much traffic congestion even for such a small city it was easier to stay here. We could walk downtown and had a place to park. It was hard to find and the city traffic pattern is confusing. We finally had to ask some local people playing soccer and they were very helpful. It was clean and charming.

If you are visiting Arles or the surrounding area then you can't go wrong with this hotel. It has everything you need with the big bonus of being quiet. Staff were great.
