Great location. Easy walking distance to everything. Everything was a little bit ‘quaint’ in the room and we had to carry our heavy luggage up a narrow steep set of stairs to get to our room. But great view from windows on top floor!

Our go-to on Aix.

This is a beautiful old building with lovely antique furniture and filled with high-quality original paintings. It is a virtual museum. Our room had a closed in patio and a complete kitchen! The bldg has a fantastic location across the square fin a church snd the Museum Granet, and is one short block to Old Town. A small bus (holding 6 passengers) stops on the corner, costs 1,30€ and takes a loop through OldTown. We'd loved the hotel, wonderful stall, very convenient location, and excellent, reasonable breakfast (only 11€}. We recommend it highly and plan to return!

It was like having our own apartment with separate kitchen in a quiet square across from a museum/ art gallery & actual hotel was round corner which was fine. Loved it. No lift but drawback was just shower in bath without curtain or screen so wet floor.

Charming. I think it’s an old Victorian house that has been refurbished and decorated with authentic antiques. Also, all of the art is original which I really appreciate and there is a lot of it. I highly recommend this hotel.
