Hôtel Artea  

Hotel room was spacious and comfortable for 3 persons. Bathroom was also pretty big. The hotel is located at a perfect location for exploring the city.

The room has a weird smell and the hotel did not have a lift. That meant we had to drag our luggage up and down and stairs! The hotel decor was also pretty dated and old.

Wonderful, accommodating staff, a large clean room, great location, good soundproofing and air-conditioning, delicious breakfast; parking nearby for a reasonable fee.

I would have liked an option for a less expensive, less copious breakfast. I didn't like getting blocked in the garage by a parked car but appreciated the manager's quick response to get us out,

The room was very spacious for a European hotel. Everything was clean and the bed was comfortable. The front desk was extremely helpful and willing to call and book our dinner reservations, reserve a taxi, whatever we needed. The hotel is in a perfect location: steps away from the fountain and all of the hustle and bustle of downtown Aix. We had a lovely dinner at Ze Bistro, which was within easy walking distance and highly recommended.

The keys are attached to key chains that literally feel like iron door handles. They are huge! However, they will keep them at the front desk for you while you are out and about if you don't want to carry them around.

Location, in the center of Aix en Provence Cleanliness of the room Ability to book a parking slot

The heating system was not working properly, room pretty cold

Great place to stay. Very friendly & helpful staff. A bit pricey but large room, dog friendly (10€ daily charges), excellent & free wifi, easy parking (10€/day, cheaper than public), & large screen tv (French satellite). Perfect location: steps to the heart of Aix. Busy street but quiet at night.

Excellent location and the staff were very helpful and undertanding. Defenitely recommend this hotel.

Although the entry and the insides of the hotel are not very sexy, once you get to the room you find the hotel is quite good. The floor is made of ceramic tiles, but the bed is nice, very white and clean, all the furniture is very well and the bathroom is very clean and nice. The rooms are well isolated from the street and the other rooms, though not very well from the hall (as the doors are very thin). The staff is correct, which for France means very friendly. Finally, the location is great, in a somewhat calm spot but two block away from the main streets.

The ceramic floor gives the room a "budget" look. The hotel doesn't have an elevator and hall and entry don't look very design either. The rooms are really good (if it was only for the rooms the hotel could be a high 3 or low 4 stars), but prices are a little bit high for the hotel as a whole (93 euros per night in november without breakfast).

Room clean and comfortable. Very well situated for the city, easy walking distance to La Rotunde and Cour Mirabeau. Nice restaurants within walking distance. Approximately 10 mins walk from bus station

Breakfast expensive at 10Euros per head - use the croissanterie only 30 seconds away. No tea/coffee making facilities in room, typical of continent though.

Good and friendly service... Extremely clean.... Firm & comfortable bed.

Lack of cushions or padded backrest on the bed made it impossible to sit up and watch tv in comfort.

I was very impressed with this hotel and with the staff. The location was extremely central in Aix en Provence so it was really easy to come and go to wander around this lovely city. Our room was large, cool, very well decorated and very clean. When we arrived, the hotel staff were very quick to help us with our luggage. The room was air conditioned which was great given the heat. I thought it was extremely good value for the price we paid.

You must book parking in advance - we hadn't, so juggling the car was a bit tricky. It's also difficult to off-load luggage as the hotel is situated at a busy junction and the space reserved for this purpose seemed to always have the same car parked there!

Excellent Location. On Sunday, there is a good market (bazaar) which the hotel is very close. You can see many reflections of daily life from past to now. Very nice hotel. Clean and comfortable.

The hotel was also Darius Milhaud's house. There is a dedicated room for him but room is used as a luggage room. we found very disrespectful.

Great location in Aix.
