The shower is tiny and the shower head pointed towards the shower curtain making it difficult to keep the water inside. A rain shower head was also included but didn't quite fit. They improvised by locating partially above the shower curtain and pointing towards the far wall which made it adequate. All worked, as long as you don't drop anything because […] it is impossible to bend to pick it up...you need to slide down with you knees! Read more

We loved our stay here. The service was excellent, the room was quite pleasant. Being November, the A/C was unavailable, but an open window helped. We faced the square, where a food festival took place on the weekend, so the view was great, but the noise was a little overwhelming at times. However, the new-looking windows instantly shut out the sounds […] from below. The bathroom was spotless and beautifully updated, with great lighting. Easy walk to all the sights, and even easy walking distance to the train station (several blocks, but easily navigated). We would definitely return. Read more

What a beautiful hotel! Bigger than it looks, especially the breakfast room which is the best continental breakfast I've ever had in a hotel! Lots of options, both French and American. We stayed in a suite overlooking the square, was spacious and clean. The front desk was very helpful with recommending restaurants and areas to explore. Would definitely […] stay here again!

Great location in the center of town. The staff recommended one of the best restaurants of our trip.

This hotel is located in the heart of Avignon. Close to the place of the Pope and main square. It is clean and comfortable. When you book a room be sure to ask for 5th floor with outside balcony. Well worth the extra money. Great to walk through the city and close to everything.

We had a very enjoyable stay; the location of the Hotel in proximity to Palais des Papes and the old city is perfect; breakfast a perfect start to the day in a lovely greenhouse styled dining room; comfortable bed and room; would stay again definitely; room and hotel all very clean and well kept

Wonderful location and extremely helpful staff. The hotel itself is European average, but the cleanliness and comfort were great.

We were required at checkout to pay a €2.20 "breakfast tax" because we did not have breakfast at the hotel. Lame! Parking was a bit of a hassle as you need to park in the city lot that is several blocks from the hotel. The hotel gives a 20% discount voucher for parking here. It is a public parking lot and is NOT secure. Hotel staff was friendly and […] helpful. Excellent location in the city; very close to the palace and other attractions. Read more

All my requests were honored and staff was helpful. Hotel is hard to find and parking in front to load and unload bags is very limited.

Genuine Expedia guest review

Our room looked right over the square. I was afraid it'd be noisy but the town closed down fairly early. My only complaint is that we booked a room with breakfast included, and I didn't enquire (I forgot) and no one mentioned it, so we MISSED our breakfast. A heads up at check-in would've been nice!! Otherwise the hotel was unique and clean and well […] placed. Read more

this was my ideal hotel. 5-10 minute walk from center train station, great location in city center, walking into lobby- quaint and inviting. staff was helpful and also made restaurant recommendations (also made recommendations on areas to avoid). i adored my room, it was also quaint, simple and clean. perfect bathtub for bubblebath. lovely room for […] a medieval city at a great price. only downfall was the wifi wasn't working during my stay because i wanted to check train times. Staff was kind enough to give me times i needed. Read more

The location is convenient and the rooms are small but adequate. Bathroom was modern and very clean. The big, BIG downside was that the wireless internet never worked for me (first time, and I've used my computer all over the world). The staff made it sound like this was an anomaly until it became apparent that it wasn't. In fact, the whole wifi system […] was down for over a day. Solution: go to a cafe (read: take your problem elsewhere). Which was odd, because they were otherwise pretty helpful. Read more

Outstanding hotel is every way. Location is a bit hard to access and parking is not ideal.

We liked the proximity to everything you want to visit in old Avignon. A good hotel in overall. Breakfast was great!

Genuine Expedia guest review

Perfect location and friendly, helpful staff. The only negative was the lack of noise-proofing in rooms.

Very nice hotel in the heart of Avignon. Steps away from the Palace of the Popes. We were there for five nights. The mattress was not as comfy as it should be but the rest of the hotel is a delight. The staff was very helpful in arranging reservations. Staff is fluent in multiple languages. Our room was very large for a European hotel and we were ugraded […] upon arrival. Night time revelers got a little loud one night.....but that will happen any where you go. We would stay here again. Read more

We paid for two traditional rooms. I wonder what their "regular" rooms are like or whether we actually got those and paid more than we should have. Tiny, even by European standards. Spartan, even by European standards. Pull your luggage down steps and up steps just to get into the room. We were on the 1st floor, so we endured revelers at night and street […] cleaners in the early morning. The staff was helpful with Internet (but the iPad didn't work) and with a restaurant recommendation (excellent). Plan to get lost getting there. "Everyone does," they laughed, after we'd spent 1-1/2 hours in the tiny streets of Avignon, encountering city "guides" who spoke little English and never gave us helpful directions. Great location, but I wouldn't stay there again. Read more

Hotel is located in front of Place de L Horloge, next to city hall, walking distance from everything in Avignon. While the rooms are average (American) size, service is good/friendly, everything is clean, and they have great beds. They provide a parking discount that becomes significant, the longer you stay. Ask for the hotel's WiFi password and I.D. […] It is available, and will provide the phone access you need at a cheaper rate. Place de L Horloge is a straight shot from the train station, which makes the hotel an option for those using the rail system. Location also offers the option of having cheaper breakfast arrangements at the outdoor cafes in the area. Highly recommend it. Read more

Very clean and well maintained hotel in an excellent location. Rooms are small by North American standards but typical for Europe. Rooms are very clean and nicely decorated. Bath tub was excellent but does not give option of a shower. Quiet at night, Restaurant is not very good with regard to quality of food and there are lots of other choices close […] by. Internet is available in the room at no charge. Parking is about 4 blocks away and fairly expensive. We stayed in some other hotels in cental Avignon and this was the best experience there.

Hotel was located near the main square, lots of places to eat. Took cab from TGV station at about 13 Euros (to far to walk) The hotel was a value for the price, would stay again.

This hotel is right on Promenade Des Angles. Close to Cour Salaya. To all the shopping. The most convenient at the best value. Maybe its off season rate for the hotel room. But great. The rooms seems its just been refurbished. Tasteful, double sliding windows to sound proof. robe and slippers, Well thought out just as from picture. I will go back to […] this same hotel in the summer. Sea view and view of the Promenade. Read more

This hotel is perfectly located, a great hotel for our stay with our three teenage children. We booked on hotels.com, and then wrote the hotel to confirm the third bed in the room for the children. The twin beds were really comfortable, the double a bit less comfortable, but just fine. The triple room was very large, plenty big enough for three and […] luggage. The double room was very small - but we managed okay. The tub/shower was a hand held wand, too bad it was not a proper shower, would have kept more water off the floor. Breakfast was not included, but their were plenty of places to have a breakfast snack. Car parking was convenient, and the desk clerk offered us the 20% discount, be sure to have them validate your ticket. The free wifi was appreciated. We'd stay here again. Read more

Very central, has a boutique hotel feel. I would recommend coffee and croissant around the corner instead of the pricey hotel breakfast. The staff at the reception was very helpful with reserving restaurants and giving directions. Good value.

Genuine Expedia guest review

basic, clean hotel, great location, no frills. difficult to get there by car, as road has barricades. big negative - elevator broke so we climbed 4 flights of stairs for a day. good hotel for the price.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

We really enjoyed this hotel. The location was wonderful. right in the middle of Avignon...Blocks from the Palce de Papas and right next to the Hotel Deville. For once, the room was actually big (for France standards). Additionaly, the hotel staff was very helpful, friendly, and spoke english. the only negative is that it is a hike from the TGV station […] to the hotel. But that is not the hotel's fault. You will experience that with any Avignon hotel inside the city walls. Read more

We were not aware of the cost of the breakfast, 14 E each morning per person, until we checked out and had to pay

The location of the hotel is fabulous! very near everything and in the heart of Avignon. I loved the room I was in. It was small but lovely. The bathroom was beautiful and modern and clean. the room was very clean and bright with french doors that opened onto a roof terrace overlooking the town. i got there in time to see the most spectacular sunset […] from my terrace. the bed was heavenly comfortable. the only problem was not having wifi. the woman at the desk was going to deliver the secret code to me but she never did and I fell asleep waiting. Tip: ask for a room with an outside terrace attached. Read more

I stayed at the Hotel de l'Horloge for a week and was very happy with my stay. Its place very near the papal palace was superb. Most of the staff was exceptional except for the middle-aged man who was at the desk when I arrived. The hotel is lovely and while I had two different rooms (privilege and tradition), the tradition room was actually more comfortable […] except for space for clothing. The bed and duvet was wonderful and the AC worked perfectly (with lovely breezes if you wanted to open the windows). The major problem I had (which I didn't mention to the staff because I don't think they could have solved it) was internet accessibility. I was given a wifi password and name, and it could access most sites, except for most of those (including email) that required personal passwords. This was a huge problem for me since I was on Avignon for business. I would add to take a little bit with a grain of salt the hotel's own website about what you received there. Neither bed I had was a sleep number bed, although the tradition room's bed was very comfortable. But the publicity makes it sound like a Hyatt or Marriott. It's not, but it is a very nice hotel in a spectacular location. The other members of the staff, both at the desk and maintenance, were lovely. I would definitely recommend this hotel to others with the few caveats I mentioned. Read more

This hotel is located within walking distance from the Palais des Papes and the Gare Centre d'Avignon. The room was quite comfortable but we were facing the Place d'Horloge and it was down right loud until about 2 am for a Saturday night. Then at 3 am the clean-up crew started pulling chairs and tables across the cobblestones. So, while this is a great […] place to stay and comfortable hotel, I would recommend asking for a room away from the Place because it can be very loud on the weekend nights. Read more

We were in Avignon for only 24 hours but got the most out of it because of the location of the hotel. It allowed us to walk leisurely to all the important tourist sites and enjoy the cafe's. We also managed to find excellent dining only a few blocks from the hotel.

We were only in Avignon for 2 nights and had a wonderful time at the Hotel de l'Horloge. We were given the family suite on the top floor which had 4 beds. The room was very clean and the air conditioning worked well. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location was great for sightseeing. It is located on the square within walking distance of all […] of the tourist spots. There is a great bakery/ice cream place next door. We didn't have a very good meal at a restaurant on the square, but did find a nice one on the plaza outside of the Hotel Europe. Read more

We had a wonderful stay in the hotel. Room was spacious and had 2 big comfortable chairs for relaxation and watching TV. Surprise that it even had a coffee machine in the room. Very clean environment. Hotel staff very attentive and warm to our needs. Would love to come back again.

lovely hotel friendly staff rooms spacious unlike the ones we had been staying in in Paris

Genuine Expedia guest review

It's in exactly the right position and is justifiably busy. You need to carry your luggage up a few steps from the lift. Staff are courteous and helpful. If you come in at Gare TGV get the bus to town and likewise if you're going out that way.

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel is very comfortable and met most of our needs. The bed, pillows and duvet were all comfortable and of a high quality. The hotel is extremely well placed in the centre of the old town but also easy to access from the tgv station. We paid the 1.30 euros each for the bus transfer from the station to the city walls (La Poste), we then walked the […] 10 minutes up the main street (Rue de la Republique) to the hotel. We chose not to breakfast in the hotel but ate in the patisserie 1 minutes walk from the hotel for breakfast and lunch. There is also a huge range of restaurants to choose from for dinner, all within a few minutes walk. We were away from Monday to Friday and found the hotel well positioned for walking to the Palais des Papes (5 minutes), the Pont d'Avignon (5 minutes) and to the numerous historical attractions in Villeneuve (30 minutes). Retail therapy is also on the doorstep with lots of lovely shops and old roads to investigate. Overall Avignon is a great place for a city break and this hotel is the best location to stay. We will definitely visit again. Read more

We loved it! Just the best location for exploring Avignon. Room was small but for what we paid we thought it was good value. Breakfast was also good value, everything was there hot & cold, well worth the money if you are hungry.

Rooms very tiny. Shower minuscule.

Genuine Hotels.com guest review

The hotel has an excellent location in the centre of Avignon and right next to the main shopping street and lots of cafes and restaurants. The room was very clean and comfortable but tiny. I had a standard double room, but there was no room to walk beside the bed on either side as it was wedged into a small space. The bathroom was light and spacious […] but, rather oddly, there was no shower curtain or shower door so you had to sit down and have a shower or it would have flooded the bathroom! Breakfast was fairly expensive but there was a reasonable choice if you like bread, pastries and fruit. Overall, the good location of the hotel is its best feature. Read more

A very French hotel in the centre of the historic town, just off the main square - Place de l'horloge. It is situated close enough to enjoy the ambience but quiet enough (with double glazed windows) to be able to sleep well at night. The hotel staff were very helpful and their recommendations for places to eat (within easy walking distance) were excellent. […] Breakfast in the hotel is the usual self-service but with plenty of choice (and scrambled eggs/sausages are available if you are hungry enough). The room was very comfortable, with a good sized bathroom, and there is free internet access - you need to ask the reception desk for the code - which saves on mobile phone charges. We would definitely stay here again Read more

Genuine Expedia guest review

The hotel was very well placed and staff efficient and helpful. However the room type I booked - 'tradition double' was only really big enough for one person - it was an extremely small room and the waderobe space had only 4 hangers - which was all it could take - as we were a couple and staying for 8 nights that was not satisfactory. I think the hotels.com […] website should have emphasised more how small these rooms could be. Also the room had no tea and coffee making facilities it was supposed to have. Read more
