ibis Arles

After 3weeks travelling on the road throughout France this has been by far the most disappointing of all our accommodation choices. The receptionist was helpful but on entering our room we found the condition of the room very worn out.What made our minds up to move on was the smell, very musty and stale. Our stay lasted 15minutes .Much better choice made away from this town.Our recommendation is to find something out of the town.

We really enjoyed the breakfasts, as much as you could eat and lots of variety. The room was clean, staff friendly and helpful. The pool was a good size, but unfortunately on a couple of occasions was 'taken over' by children/teenagers, jumping in and making a lot of noise. There were insufficient sun beds for the number of guests. Unfortunately, the hotel is 15/20 min walk to the edge of Arles. This didn't bother us as, but others might find it a problem.

Good Value

Booked this hotel because I could not find a mid priced option at the time I wanted to visit Arles. Thought it would be basic but modern as are most Ibis in the UK. Also someone on Tripadvisor said it was a good base for visiting Arles. The hotel is very shabby and the location is dreadful - a mile from the old town and situated in the middle of trading estates and unprepossessing shopping malls. The walk into town was not too bad once we had found the right route. The staff were somewhat off hand and the breakfast was poor value. Most disappointed.

I would go again

This is a very run hotel blessed with a most charming and pleasant staff. It is convenient for the sites of Arles as long you are willing to undertake 25 minutes walk

Great for an overnight stay when you're travelling through France, like we did. Secure free parking, free wi-fi, lots of restaurants around to catch a bite. The hotel is located in an industrial-commercial zone, so there's not much sightseeing, but we just needed a good night's rest before heading to Spain. The hotel is easy to find - just off the main highway. It is a bit old but they are doing a good enough job to keep it comfortable. We didn't have breakfast, so I cannot comment on that. Would recommend the place for a quick sleepover, but not for a longer stay.

We simply used this hotel in all honesty because nothing else was left in the town but we found it ideal when we spent all our time in Arles itself. As long as you don't expect grandeur and luxury you will find it a convenient place to rest your head (providing you have a car or don't mind the 20min walk into town.)
