Arles hotels

Pros: We liked the location. It was in the heart of town. The staff was very nice.

Cons: Cab drivers! They don't want to work. The hotel was dated with the most AWFUL decorating we have ever experienced.

Pros: The design of the hotel is extremely beautiful!

Cons: The breakfast is a little bit poor for 5 stars hotel.

Pros: The Jules Cesar is located close to the Alycamps Roman Cemetery and within easy walking distance of Old Arles, with its cafes and restaurants. The building itself is a former convent, so is attractive with a lovely cloister and central herb garden. There's a pleasant garden area at the rear of the property, where the small pool is located.

Cons: Sadly, the hotel seems to be trading off past glories. Whilst the staff are very pleasant, the hotel itself feels nothing like a Five Star establishment. Our first room was poky and dark with a tiny window - and for reasons I will never understand, we had been placed in what was clearly a room that was adapted for wheelchair use (neither of us are wheelchair users), with a rail around the toilet and a shaving mirror at hip height. Further disappointments ensued when the hot water stopped working on the morning of Day 2, and my husband trod on a nail that was sticking upright from the bathroom threshold strip. We reported both problems straight away, but nothing had been resolved when we returned in the evening, nor - despite a second request - when we went out to dinner and came back at 20.30. The upshot was that we had to re-pack our bags and move to another room at 21.00 - not exactly a restful experience, and one which was dealt with very casually by the front desk. This second room was larger and better lit, but was painted entirely crimson, so it was like sleeping inside a pancreas (the Christian Lacroix décor is really quite tacky)...there was a small chair with a ripped cover in one corner, but nowhere for two adults to sit and read apart from on the bed or windowsill. The bathroom was fairly grim, with a wobbly, square black toilet seat that kept threatening to detach itself, and a black basin and bath which showed up every trace of soap or toothpaste, so looked horrible unless the cleaner had just been in. We didn't bother with breakfast as there are so many places nearby, nor with dinner as the dining room looked fairly devoid of atmosphere when we looked in. The bar was almost never staffed, so we didn't even have a drink there. When we looked at the bill, we could do nothing but give a hollow laugh. It was a ludicrous amount of money to have spent on a very lacklustre experience. We'll never go back.

Pros: Great location and facilities. Breakfast was perfekt.

Cons: Our rom was a bit to small and the bathroom was crowded.

Pros: I liked very little- the bed was relatively comfortable.

Cons: Where do I start-outrageously priced, garishly decorated rooms, smell of stale cigarettes, minuscule bathroom, some off-hand staff, meant to be a 5* establishment, but frankly that is ludicrous.

Pros: I've already answered this question.

Cons: Ants in the room.

Pros: Internet connection was ok. The guys at the front desk were fine too, and they spoke some English, which was a relief. There was an old microwave available at the front desk for guests to use, but no utensils available. There was also a vending machine with some snacks and drinks, and there was a steak house practically in front of the motel. Nearby, there was a commercial center with some supermarkets, a Burger King, a Mc Donalds, a pizza place and a chinese restaurant.

Cons: This is not a hotel - it is a motel. Very simple and by the road - so it is not the kind of place you want to spend many nights in. Since the prices in France are not the best, it was the cheapest we could find and it was OK, if you bear in mind it is a motel. The room is small and the bathroom can barely fit one person. Even though there were signs saying smoking in the room was not allowed, the bathroom was stinking as if there had been people smoking there. If you are willing to visit the historic center, bear in mind that you will need a ride or you will have to walk something like 20 minutes or more (not much on a cool day, kind of a lot when it is very cold though).

Pros: Nothing.

Cons: We checked in, got the key and decided to go for dinner. Later at night when we decided to go to the room, this wasn't cleaned out. There was nobody at the reception so we had to call the emergency number. They gave us a new room but still smelled like pee. Overall, hideous.

Pros: Carpark facility was private & safe..Buffalo Grill just next door..a good value dinner if you arrive late & don't wish to drive anywhere.

Cons: Dirty rusty shower. Staff not very helpful

Pros: Bed was comfortable

Cons: Small room and shower room, breakfast not sufficient, everything was sweet.

Pros: breakfast not taken - location satisfactory

Cons: need slightly larger room and tea / coffee facilities in room as vending machine not working
