What people say

La Caravelle Hotel is located in a perfect setting for finding transportation, although walking is the best mode of travelling for anyone staying in this centuries old boutique town & village. A few steps from the front door of the hotel will lead you to the most delightful & surprising setting of shops, boutiques, patisseries, cafes & markets to delight any traveler to Aix. Would be delighted to discover. The shopping is "c'est manifique!" The receptionists at this small hotel were.
all reviews » Great location and staff. The hotel is a 2 star hotel, so I didn't expect too much. The price was right. My room was basic with a TV and my own bathroom. Stayed one night to explore Aix-en-Provence and wasn't intending on spending much time in my room. The wireless internet worked well. The hotel is a 15 minute walk from the train station, but not what I would consider walkable from the bus station. The hotel is on a main street, but in the winter, I didn't open the windows so my room wa. Immediately that I walked into La Caravelle I had a pleasant feeling and felt happy. Just because, as a single girl, I wanted somewhere safe, clean, friendly. Reception staff were always helpful, recommending restaurants, booking taxi's, circling places on the map to visit. Location perfect, just 2 mins around the corner, cafes, cocktails, fromageries... and into the heart of Aix. The entrance was bright and fresh and my room (29) on the fourth floor was a large single with window opening out . I liked so much about this hotel. The staff were all so friendly and helpful. Lovely, lovely people. The location was incredibly convenient and within walking distance to everything in Aix-en-Provence. The room was nice and comfortable. The price was very reasonable (it was this and the location that initially sold it to me on the Internet). And the whole place smelled of lavender. I'd never consider staying anywhere else in Aix-en-Provence. It's an excellent hotel with a lovely atmosphere to i. Evebody was very nice. When it was not possible to get som cold water to drink, they gave a bottle of water for free. Very nice service. I hade the toilette in the corridor but it was never a problem for me to go there, aven in the Night. The door is just near the room. Everything is new renovated and fresh. I will absolutly come back if I have to be in Aix!. We really enjoyed our stay there. Room is spacious with a nice balcony view. Wifi works well in the room, staff is cool and very helpful! Location is very convinient to streets and restaurants in old town. We will come back!. All staff was excellent, super friendly and professional. Price is very fair for the property, room was very clean. I would say it can easily be at a 3 star level. 2 to 3 minutes walk from the ideal center of the old town. Hotel was well located for all major tourist sites and within walking distance to Central Station, Reception was extremely welcoming and helpful, room was comfortable and clean, and hotel had a lovely fresh lavender smell.

It was very central, clean, and when the windows are closed it was very quiet. There is a nice park near by and it's not far from a number of markets in the centre of town. It is close to the station, clean and comfortable. The manager gave us a map with directions to the main sights, stored our luggage and was very friendly and helpful. The location of this hotel is perfect for exploring the magical city of Aix en Provence.

Good location.Quiet and basic room.Would stay there again. Great location, very hospitable staff. clean. Very nice budget hotel , in the process of a stylish refurbishment - very pleasant staff but not bicycle friendly ! No facilities for storage . Great location, close to centre of Aix and cours Mirabeau . Air conditioning in some rooms doesn't work - not ideal in July !!! But will supply a fan . Breakfast ok but no fruit or muesli/ cereal . Very nice young lady receptionist. My room was on the front of the hotel with a small, airy balcony. I did like that feature at first, but then I saw the garden in the back of the hotel. Later I learned I could have had a garden view for less money per night. Noise from the street did not interrupt my rest. However, next time I will ask for a garden view, even if it doesn't have a balcony. If you want fancy this hotel wouldn't be for you. The only thing I didn't like was having a toilet outside of the room, but I was aware of this potentiality before I booked due to reading another review, so not shocked. I also had difficulty connecting to 'wifi'. Front desk helpful, but I couldn't resolve this. There is a computer at the front reception you can use anytime though so I made use of this. My shower head was broken so I had to hold it up with one hand to shower. I assume the cleaners would know about this from cleaning the shower but it wasn't a big enough deal for me to cause a fuss for the 2 nights I was there. Just think that the beakfirst is a french old fashion. No buffet. They come with it for you when you come in the diner room. No cheese or ham... Minus for the croissant.. Too heavy, like bread. But I was very satisfed any way! Like when I was a child, it was allways a beakfirst like that :). Nothing. Everything is great. Bathroom was really very small as we're the bath towels, no room service,maybe we were just unlucky. room very warm as no air conditioning and with window open overnight it was very noisy. Breakfast expensive. not really, everything is pleasant. No negatives. We drove there, and getting to the hotel initially was a nightmare because all the roads are blocked off by electronic bollards. It's the city's fault rather than the hotel's, but we would have appreciated a warning or instructions when we booked. Parking is problematic... and although we got lucky and got one of the 2 spots outside the hotel, it cost us 12 euros for a simple overnight stay. Not a big deal, and the benefits of the location were well worth it. Nothing. upon check in I was advised check out time was 11.30. However I had the cleaner enter my room without knocking at 11.00 and again at 11.15. Besides this intrusion I had a call from reception at 11.20 reminding me that check out was 11.30. The hotel obviously allows smoking in the rooms, as the smell of cigarette smoke in my rom was very unpleasant. breakfast is not included - extra 9 €, in the shower should be curtain. didn't offer breakfast. Maybe the bed a little to small for a couple, 140 cm... Nothing. Would have been nice if there had been a hair-dryer included in the room. It lacks a parking lot or a garage. Breakfast is lovely but perhaps a tad pricey for what you get. The street side might be noisy in the morning. Pleased with everything. The room on the ground floor a little weird with a second door leading in a backyard. tiny lift, very old fashion, small room, needs upgrading urgently. Lack of bicycle storage facilities and information re bicycle hire . Lack of air conditioning in some rooms . No fruit or cereal for breakfast. No parking an expensive to park nearby. WC for the room was on the landing.
