Boasting a barbecue, this property is set a short distance from Papal Palace, Pont d'Avignon and Avignon City Hall. The accommodation provides room service, a shared lounge and luggage storage for guests.
The people & staff were very helpful and spoke great English. I got a recommendation to stay at this hotel as part of my ride up to Mont Ventoux. The place was pretty quiet around mid October when I went. The location is about 5 minutes up the main street of Avignon City, from where I got off the train (Avignon Centre, which was a transit away from Avignon TGV where the Eurostar arrives and departs). It is quite convenient as it is within the walls of Avignon City, and about 10-15 minutes walk to Palais des Papes. The hotel has bike storage, but I emailed them beforehand just to let them know in advance. The room was ok, I slept relatively well. The shower itself is in the room where I stayed (a single person room, with double bed). The toilet was separate from the room, but is again tolerable. Wi-fi was free, although the signal can be a bit weak the further away you are from reception. In summary, I would definitely stay here again for my next bike trip. If you're willing to pay the extra premium and would prefer a more comfortable stay, then go elsewhere. But keep in mind accommodation within Avignon City (within the city walls) are typically quite dear.
