Hotel berhampiran PHARMACIE MONGE(Aix-en-Provence Rotonde), Aix-en-Provence

This business needs a huge overhaul. It is unacceptable to rob guests with such terrible accommodation. I had booked 10 days in this place. Upon my arrival after a long trip with my heavy backpack, the receptionist ignored me as I waited for her to greet me. What a greeting! 'You will need to bring your rubbish in the bin before you leave; you will be given fresh linen in four days; you need to sign in to the internet every time you use it; you will need to do the dishes before you leave' etc...No welcome words, only orders. I felt I was signing in to jail! I have been in hostels in the past, am well travelled and I manage my expectations, but this was far worse than any hostel, airbnb, hotel, or residence I have ever been to. Upon entering my studio - I would not call it an apartment, I found the shower head dirty, the wastebasket dirty, the walls bare of any decor except for a cheap frame. There was only ONE plastic hanger in the closet, with all the others broken. In the kitchen, there was a 2oz bottle of washing detergent and not much at all, not even a coffee maker, just a kettle. There was only one roll of toilet paper for my 10 day stay. No one was ever at the reception except early in the mornings. You could not reach anyone in the afternoon or evening. When I ran out of toilet paper, I asked on my way out to have a few rolls dropped in my room. Upon my return that night, nothing. Luckily I met some guests who were sitting outside (equally unhappy with the residence), who saved me and were most kind, bringing me a roll. When the next morning I asked for toilet paper again, after having left a note at the unstaffed reception desk, I was finally given some. But fresh towels after 4 days? The response was ”well, I don't know, I have to ask my colleague...” I could not believe the staff's attitude. I was happily able to find a place 8 days later and could not leave soon enough. (Unfortunately, in high season and at the last minute, accommodations are nearly impossible to find in Aix.)

I would not recommend this hotel. -Hard to find -Far from city center ($15 euro Uber each way) -no face cloths provided -only one small roll of toilet paper provided (and a half used one) -soap dispensers almost empty -no hair dryer -air conditioner didn’t work -did not allow early check in -stains on walls -broken glass in the cupboard -cobwebs -moldy shower curtain -shower handle was broken and didn’t stay on the holder -They charge $7 per clean (daily clean is not included!!) These are the reasons I would not stay again or recommend staying. This hotel needs improvement and care. The positives: -Staff are nice -Bed was comfortable -Free street parking out front or just $5 underground

Convenable pour un voyage d'affaire

We have spent one night in this hotel a few kilometers from the center of Aix en Provence. The check in was quick and smooth and our room spacious and fairly clean. It was a pleasure to enjoy the swimming pool on a hot day like the one we had. It was a good stay and very good value for money considering the high prices in high season.

Les horaires d'arrivée et de départ sur le site ne correspondaient pas à la réalité... J'ai été obligé d'attendre 3 quarts d'heure 😱😰 J'ai payé la taxe de séjour... alors que sur le site, il est indiqué taxes incluses 😰😱 Sinon, cette location est d'un bon rapport qualité/ prix... 😁🤪

Excellent rapport qualité/ prix

Pour les points positifs : - la chambre était grande et agréable (suite). - l’environnement dans la pinède était calme. - stationnement facile - petit déjeuner correct Pour les points négatifs (malheureusement …): - invasion de fourmis dans la partie salon de notre suite - la piscine naturellement filtrée ne nous a pas du tout emballé (couleur verte et algues) et pas d’ombre par 40 degrés. - nous avions demandé de payer en chèques ANCV à l’arrivée mais l’hôtel nous a débité le montant de la chambre sur notre CB. - service complètement à revoir… J’ai oublié un vêtement dans la chambre. J’ai appelé quelques heures seulement après notre départ. J’ai eu plusieurs interlocuteurs pendant trois jours. On devait me rappeler mais à part un jeune homme dimanche soir, qui n’a rien trouvé personne n’a rien fait et le vêtement s’est mystérieusement volatilisé. Je suis déçue car il me semble qu’un hôtel 4 étoiles doit quand même proposer un certain standing aux clients. J’ai demandé à être rappelée par un responsable. J’attends encore… Quel dommage !

On coming from the airport I didn’t find the hotel easy to locate. The entrance has steps in front of it and I had to lug my suitcase up them which wasn’t at all practical. Whether or not there was a ramp somewhere I have no idea, but I didn’t see one in the dark. After a frosty reception I found the room perfectly adequate and very quiet. The bed was comfortable. There was no water in the room which I found surprising and a small bottle would have been appreciated. The bathroom was very clean and modern and had very nice toiletries. The staff in the morning were very friendly and the breakfast was very good. The scrambled eggs were delicious. Overall the stay was okay but next time I will stay nearer the airport.
