* please be aware there is no drop off outside the hotel unless you are in a taxi that is allowed to go into the pedestrian areas. The car park that is around the corner from the hotel is 1.90 and if your car is bigger the only car park is around 1.5 miles away. Then you have to take a taxi or shuttle bus. Bedrooms are ok, beds comfortable but pillows are very lumpy foam, hotel is very tired, hallway carpet stained, bedroom doors damaged. Just combined shampoo and shower gel. The location is the best thing about the hotel.

The property is very well located ( that’s why I had chosen it at the first place!). However, it’s the only positive side I can mention for our stay. This hotel does NOT meet the standards of a 4 star hotel! The room was small, there was no garbage bin in the room, nor a phone for that matter ( to call the reception!). There is no little accessories that a 4 star MUST have ( small body lotion of slippers). Besides, there is no lobby per se in this hotel to sit and have a drink! All on all our stay was very disappointing! It’s a shame because I used to appreciate Mercure hotels but I’m not sure I’ll choose this hotel in the future since the standards are not reliable.

It’s clearly an older building but refurbished. The room is okay. Beds are very comfortable. A drinking water machine is placed outside next to the elevator, which is very good when the tapwater taste metallic. The water pressure is fine, however, the shower is quite slow; it takes a long while to wash off the soap. The location could not be better, when it is right next to the Palace.

Comfortable beds, great location but terrible bathroom. You have to step over a very high frame into the bath to have a shower. The toilet was wedged into a corner and it was impossible to sit properly on it. Wonderful location next to the Palais des Papes and easy access to restaurants and shopping.

Fantastic location

Very comfortable hotel and great location for exploring Avignon. Staff very friendly and helpful. Would have liked a balcony or street view, and options for tea and coffee in room were limited, with milk not replaced every day. Floor in bathroom became very slippery when wet.
