Set across three stories (and with no lift), it’s not ideal for those with limited ability but offers plenty of charm for guests wanting a comfortable and affordable stay in Aix-en-Provence.

The Gare d’Aix en Provence is a five-minute walk from the hotel while paid public parking is available 300 metres away.
