Hotel Alizéa - Avignon

Average rating:  3.6

A very small room - with little space on either side between the bed and the wall. The worst feature by far was the bathroom. We used the shower before going out in the evening and the water had not drained away at all the following morning. Reported it to staff but they did not come and try to unblock it during our stay - which thankfully was only 1 night.

Hotel is very well located, but it required some maintenance in bathroom and room door. No good smell.

Very nice friendly place with pleasant staff. Excellent location just opposite the tourist board + convenient for train & coach travel. I was visiting English friends who live in Avignon but they only have a small flat & they are both over 90.

The best possible location, only 3 minutes walk from the train station! Across the street is the Avignon Tourist Office where you can book all sort of Provence tours. The only thing is the bathroom, a bit outdated, though clean. Great value for money!

The hotel was ok, very near from all the city sights so you can go walking, which was great. The bad thing was that we could not sleep well because someone from the other room was watching TV all night, with the volume on top! (I don´t blame the hotel for that though.)

This was a nice place to stay especially for the price. I was with my husband, mother-in-law and sister-in-law. It is an older place, that is slightly run down (ie wallpaper old, etc) with thin walls, but the location is excellent, the price is good compared to other options, and the people were friendly. It is a fine place to lay your head for 3 days.

Nice small Hotel located very closed at train station and to city center. Kind people, normal and clean room. The only problem is that lift is very noise but it is not working during night time , and rooms are a little bit noisy because walls are very thin

El unico problema fue al momento del registro, dado que la reservación no estaba bajo el nombre "Leclair", sino "Guevara". Por otra parte, la estadía en el Hotel fue muy agradable, estando este muy bien situado.

while the room was small, it was neat & cleaned daily. The staff were extremely friendly and helpful & provided useful tips on where to go - slightly off the main tourist track. The location is what makes it - very close to the station, & an easy walk to the attractions. Very noisy on weekend nights though

It is a basic hotel downside there was stale smell on entering room due to bad ventilation but the rooms were clean. Showers were ok. Location excellent. There are better hotels in the area.

Stay only for one night in Avignon and it is a very easy city to see, everything is within walkable distance. The hotel is situated inside the old quarter of the town and is very near the center.

hotel economico e comodo al centro ma le stanze all'ultimo piano sono da evitare se c'è molto caldo, anche con un ventilatore (rumoroso) e i tappi nelle orecchie non sono riuscito a dormire in modo soddisfacente nonostante la stanchezza. per euro 6,50 la colazione si può evitare e farla altrove. in altri hotel con soli 4 o 5 euro di differenza avevano l'aria condizionata e una colazione molto varia e abbondante.

The location is perfect, right in the center where you can reach the old town and the pope palace within a few minutes walk. The rooms are relatively spacious and ok, but not quite as nice as it looks at the pictures, one bed in the 3-bed room was pretty fragile; the windowless bathroom was clean but had a very strong smell. Our rooms where at the main street side and therefore very noisy. Biggest disappointment was the offered parking which was one of the arguments why we choose this hotel. At the end they send you to an expensive public parking lot at the train station, about 5 min walk away. We did not try the breakfast since the breakfast room did not look promising at all. There are a lot of opportunities to take breakfast in brasseries and bistros around the hotel which are much nicer. All in all acceptable, but not the best ... however, it's perfectly located!

This is a basic hotel but good value for money. Had the cleanest, nicest bath in Europe in a windowless bathroom. Separate toilet room which is a pleasant change. We only stayed one night and did not have breakfast or use any facilities other than the room. Staff were very friendly welcoming and helpful. Room was spacious and clean.

We were in Avignon for 6 days. The hotel was very comfortable and despite all the works being done on the street outside it was very quiet especially at night. We did not avail ourselves of breakfast but our rooms were always made up and the staff were extremely helpful.The hoterl is easy to get to from the railway station and close to the buses and main square and restaurants.

Low price and excellent location was somewhat let down by room quality - this property did not match the 2 star quality found elsewhere in France. However recommended for the budget traveller.

The place situated in the historical center is much comfortable one in order to visit every angle of Avignon. The hotel has the thin walls much and the water of the shower of the near room is felt also. The breakfast is not online with the price. The stranger thing is that the water close it remains in a various room from the shower, is impossible makes a bidet. Much confusion to the reception, above all in two days I have seen five faces various. My wife is intollerant to the cow's milk, has carried, to expenses ours, the soybean's milk and they have carried out it. This is incredible !!

Good budget hotel. Basic rooms with small breakfeast area. Breakfast is quite expensive at 6 euros. Friendley staff, clean rooms. Decor of rooms OK, but not fantastic. Rooms on front can be very noisy - bar next door can be noisy till 1am, plus busy main street.

I was very pleased with the hotel. At first it seemed kind of run-down, but the room was clean and the staff was helpful. The location is excellent and I ended up staying 3 nights and took day trips to Arles and Aix-en-Provence. I would also recommend a day-trip to Arles, it was fast and easy on the train. I would stay there again.

The location was excellent but the street noise at night and garbage collection in the early morning was awful. The double room was very small. An offer to switch to a larger room was made and if we return we will know to request a larger room.The breakfast was nice as was the breakfast room.

The hotel has an excellent location-only minutes from the main train station on the main street-Jean Jaures and is next to Maitre Kanter restaurant.People were very helpful in giving me directions.There is a tourist office and also a boulangerie across from the hotel.If you come by TGV train(different train station), take the Blue Bus from there to the other end -station LaPoste. From there the hotel is about 2-3 min. on foot (round the corner).The room was of reasonable size for me with a nice,modern bathroom,it was facing a side-street, with closed window the street noise level did not disturb me. The staff/owner was welcoming and very helpful, he let me keep the suitcase for another hour after checking out and let me stay downstairs until I re-bandaged my swollen foot before going to the train station. I would definitely go back.

Great location - half way between the train and the centre of town. A little noisy in some rooms but that's the trade off for being on a main road with restaurants, cafes etc. We would return.

The facility was very clean and the staff, such as I saw, was helpful and courteous. This is an old facility and things are breaking, such as the headboard on the bed, door knobs, sewer smell that drifts up occasionally. And it is cramped into a very narrow space in downtown. It is very handy to the central railway station, tourist office, places to eat and a nice park.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Unfortunately hotel is located above bars. Kareoke went on until late at night and cafes are quite noisy, especially when they start packing up and draging tables and chairs and chains to lock it with.
