you need to change the thumbnail photo that advertises this hotel. It is rather misleading. Not a great start to find the reception unattended when we arrived to check in. Just a phone number to call. We got our key cards eventually only to find our double room was tiny. There was nowhere to unpack our luggage to apart from a wire coat stand with a dusty shelf. No drawers. Conversely the bathroom was bigger than the bedroom; a ‘wet room’ shower which made the entire floor wet, and a bizarre mirror with a shaving magnifier that would only be suitable if you were three feet tall. Worst of all, the AC was faulty and the room was boiling hot. We called reception and someone came to fix it. Unfortunately the problem was not resolved and we had a very uncomfortable night. When we raised the issue again in the morning a more helpful staff member assured us that the problem would be resolved while we were out. I requested we be moved to a different room if the problem could not be resolved and, when we returned a couple of hours later, we were given another room. this room was far superior so we were much happier. There was however an overwhelming smell of insect spray which was quite concerning. That night we had to open the windows as the AC was still inadequate. We didn’t bother complaining again as we preferred the larger room and we were only staying 3 nights. Also some of the reception staff were rather surly so we were pleased to check out.

No air conditioning. Had to leave windows open which then allowed loud noises from street bars and restaurants every night until 2AM and early set up noises starting at 6AM. Not a very restful place. The room however was clean and comfortable and the hotel staff were very friendly. Good location just FIX the air conditioning !!!

The hotel is located at the entry to the old town so is very well placed. The rooms were clean enough (to warrant it's 3 stars) and comfortable, though the hotel is now somewhat dated and seems to be experiencing some issues, i.e. we are a family of 5 and when we got in the lift it failed in a semi-dramatic manner. The main issue for me was that the air conditioning units were ineffectual. We stayed on the Saturday night of the UEFA champions league final so there naturally was a lot of jollity outside, which alongside the cooking smells meant that we favoured keeping the windows closed. However, the AC unit was so weak that we had a very uncomfortable night. I even searched for and downloaded the remote instruction guide via Google but it felt very under-powered. The staff were friendly enough and the 11AM checkout was appreciated.

Super location and they provide a really good breakfast. No air conditioning first night and location was super busy and loud so little sleep. We requested a fan and it was provided but would have been nice if they had offered on first night. TV didn’t work.

Extremely disappointing I had a very uncomfortable experience at Hôtel de France. Upon arrival, the room temperature was 28°C and, even after hours with a fan, it only dropped to 25°C. The hotel claims that air conditioning is not available due to environmental policies and building restrictions, but this was never clearly communicated at the time of booking. The room was hot, and I was forced to leave and find another place to stay. To make things worse, two other guests were complaining about the exact same issue at reception. This is clearly a systemic problem, not an isolated case. Basic comfort is not a luxury — it is a fundamental part of hospitality. The hotel failed to provide the service I paid for, and their response has been dismissive and insufficient. I strongly advise avoiding this property, especially during warm weather, unless you are prepared to sleep in sauna-like conditions.

The hotel has a great location and it has rooms facing the main Plaza. However, we did not get a room facing the main plaza and I was a little disappointed so I think if you want to book in this hotel, make sure you get the room specified before you purchase, but the location is great

The hotel is very centrally located, just yards from the centre of Aix-en-Provence. The room was spacious and well-appointed, as was the bathroom. We didn't have the hotel's breakfast as there were plenty of other options on our doorstep. We'd be very happy to stay there again.

Shower stall leaked water all over the bathroom floor. The biggest complaint is the noise level in the room at night. There are restaurants and bars outside the front of the hotel and our room faced those restaurants/bars. We can hear people singing/shouting well into 2 AM. Otherwise, the hotel is very clean and located close to underground parking (also very easy to drive into/out of Aix-en-Provence).

We couldn’t continue trying to sleep at The Hotel de France because of jackhammering at the bottom of our room until 2:00 in the morning. We had to go to another hotel because of the construction noise. They should have told us about the street repair. A week before, people at the hotel had to be evacuated due to a water pipe burst. The taxi driver who drove us there was surprised that Hotel de France was reopened while the hotel next to it was still closed. This was all over the news. The hotel should have warned us about the repair work going on at night but they did not. So we had to pay for 2 hotels instead of one. We expect some compensation.
