Arles hotels near Fondation Van Gogh

Pros: Fantastic location and a large ,very comfortable and spotlessly clean room.

Cons: The weather!!! Well I suppose it was November. Still a beautiful town and lots to see and do.

Pros: The room size was good. It was very quiet at night.

Cons: The parking was nightmarish. The staff was not helpful in terms of giving correct or clear instructions. You will have to park at a public parking structure a few minutes away from the hotel, provided that you take the discounted offer from the hotel (if you are like me, you probably would because other parking spaces could cost 40 euros for a day). The entrance on the main street was closed for some kind of construction, but the staff failed to tell me. I followed the highlighted route on the map that he drew, only ended up getting stuck in front of the gate. The car behind me managed to back out but I had to turn right and drive on the curb to a nearby open space parking lot against a few incoming cars, whose drivers graciously allow me to make a narrow escape. When I called the hotel for clarification, another staff member answered. I was told to go pass the main entrance and turn right and then right again to get to the back entrance. So I did that. But man, guess where I ended up! An underground parking lot, which turned out to be a private one with a gate that will would not respond! I had to back up along a steep winding curve to the ground level and then with the help of two strangers to back out between two tightly spaced posts. After the ordeal, which felt like lasted an hour, I finally got out, only with another dread waiting for me in the weeks ahead: to deal with the insurance claim for a bunch of scratches and a dent on the car. When I called the hotel again, this time I was told to go further down the street for another block and make the right turn at the traffic light! I have no idea why I hadn't been told so in the first place! After I finally found the other entrance of the parking lot, I had to drag my luggage along the cobbled or gravelled meandering and undulating streets to the hotel. Oddly enough, I hadn't seen anyone dragging the luggage around the town the whole day and it literally felt like I was the only person doing that.

Pros: I loved the peace and quiet, I loved that my second floor windows opened onto the street with no screens and no bugs and i REALLY loved the soft classical music that played always on the ground floor. I heard beautiful choral works, Bach, Faure, so many edifying selections! There was also an outdoor space, surrounded on 4 sides by the hotel, and accessible only thru the interior, with lush plantings, that was quite appealing.

Cons: I think breakfast started at 7:30, but many travellers are ready before this time.

Pros: Great location just a few steps from the Roman Amphitheater. All the staff were friendly and helpful. The breakfast was wonderful prepared and presented.

Pros: Location was fabulous, seperate toilet was appreciated

Cons: I would like 2 equal chairs to sit in as one person has a chair and the other a stool.

Pros: I liked the atmosphere (ambiance) of the hotel, very nice decorated, very nice colors in the building, the owner was very polite. He helped me a lot because I ought to extend my stay, due to a strike of the railway staff, the staff was very polite too. I liked very much this city. I will strongly recommend my friends to visit Arles and to let themselves stay in this lovely hotel.

Cons: There must have been something wrong with me in this city. I have had most probably an allergy in my skin. In the room of the hotel I have stayed, although it was very clean, I got a kind of infection in my skin, as if I were bitten by mosquitoes. I ought to go the drug store and get some medical creme to all these bytes.

Pros: The position is great, in front of the river. Free parking is 300m away. The room is clean and welcoming, very warm and cozy. The staff is friendly and available. Very good breakfast. I would choose this hotel again.

Pros: The location was great. Free parking was a five minute walk away.

Cons: The room was not much bigger than the bed. My wife and I had to maneuver around each other just to get to the bath. Everything was the least that could be done, no hot water for coffee or tea, not even a second card key. The walls are so thin that we sometimes thought someone was entering our room when they were actually in the next room.

Pros: Location is great for visiting all the sights in Arles. It is by the Rhone and just few minutes walk to 2 of the Van Gogh paintings sites. Nearby there is a small fresh produce market in the morning.

Cons: No tea / coffee making facilities in the room.

Pros: The owners are very friendly and so helpful. The location is great, nice view over the river. Quiet too and close to the station/gare. It must be the cleanest hotel I have stayed in! Breakfast was fresh and very good.

Cons: Couldn’t have been better. Tip: Ask for the Arles historic pass. It gets you in all the historical sites for one price. Buy at the sites.

Pros: Staff was wonderful; he went above and beyond to make us feel welcome and enjoy our trip. Location; we had a view of the river and it was absolutely fantastic.

Pros: Good breakfast and reasonably priced. Great location within walking distance to the train station and right across from a trail along the Rhone River. Hotel staff were very helpful with providing directions to our next destination.

Cons: Room did not have air conditioner and it was rather warm overnight.

Pros: Staff were helpful and really friendly; made us feel valued and welcomed, also gave us dinner recommendations that were AMAZING (thanks again for that!) The room itself was super cute; the terrace is gorgeous if you like to sit with a coffee in the quiet. Also loved the resident chickens coming to say hello! Shower was POWERFUL which is awesome and the whole room was clean and bright. Breakfast was ideal too. Just a peaceful, happy place and we wish we had more time to stay!

Cons: There was some mix up with our room allocation and we ended up with a very small room.

Pros: Location and gardens

Pros: Quiet location close to Arles, centrally located in the Provence. Outdor swimming pool on property still operating in late September, with very pleasant weather during our stay.

Cons: Breakfast room sometimes very busy with tourist groups

Pros: We loved our stay here. The owner and his employees were very friendly and helpful. Location was great, easy access and free parking. A great place to settle in and explore the surrounding area. Clean and modern room with cozy public areas. Highly recommend.

Pros: The location was a great way to get into the old city across the bridge. Parking was available and it was easy to get back on the highway. The staff were very helpful in giving us tips for sightseeing.

Cons: Room was very small...was have liked a larger space to put out our suitcases.

Pros: The staff were great

Cons: The women were quite basic

Pros: Friendly, helpful staff, parking, decent breakfast, perfectly good room, not bad location. Good value for money.

Cons: Nothing really to criticize

Pros: Breakfast OK. Location excellent

Cons: Price too high. May be a combination of last minute booking and peak holiday season.

Pros: Good breakfast. Friendly staff. Near main attractions and restaurants.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good location, in the center of the city. Friendly staff. Breakfast was OK, not a big selection, but good quality

Cons: Smallish room

Pros: Great location just on the edge of the old town. Modern rooms and helpful staff. Worth being aware that the Saturday morning market is held right outside: this suited us but drivers should make allowances!

Pros: the location

Cons: all was good

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 hotel was very nice and in a wonderful location! Breakfast was exceptional. Staff was very helpful.

Pros: Everything!

Cons: The hotel is designed to blend in with the old surrounding buildings. This is so successful that I drove past twice without seeing it. A sign would help!

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: Good location and friendly staff

Cons: Quality of the rooms

Pros: Location is great. Staff is nice. Good quality of Breakfast.

Cons: Courtyard should be used for breakfast or diner... They should think of renovating some rooms.

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: Good breakfast, good car parking

Pros: Nothing

Cons: The hotel is very tired and the location is awful. No where near the centre of town and a long dark road to walk along at night.

Pros: Breackfast

Cons: No fridge in the room. Hair dryer out of order

Pros: Easy to park ! It was about a 15 minute easy walk into the centre of Arles and most of that along the Rhône. Lovely and clean. Staff were helpful and mostly pleasant.

Cons: The entrance to the hotel is not sign posted very well and you feel like you are entering an abandoned lot initially as you drive through the gate. Perhaps a large sign on the gate as you drive in would add confidence.

Pros: Great location, short walk along the river to the main attractions.

Pros: Consistency of Ibis

Cons: I was a little difficult to find

Pros: You get what you pay for. Not great, but reasonable value for money.

Cons: Breakfast is really basic.

Cons: No facility to make a hot drink in our room seemed poor given price of room. Walk into centre of Arles was further than deceived anddid feel safe in the dark .
