Work From Here At Bristol Hotel

“Great for 4 night visit, explore town and area.”

Easy to find & close to station; only 10 minutes to centre, 15 minutes to the bridge. Lots to do Enjoyed the deco features. Staff helpful, espec Lucas. Several restaurants and cafes close. Use the town shutlle / minibuses to get around too. Took a bue to Pont du Gard and Usez - brilliant

“Poor Experience”

We booked 2 rooms for 4 nights during the last week of November 2024. Although we paid basic room rates, we inquired and were denied any room upgrades (with views of the front street, Jean Jaures and were stuck with some ugly back views. The front desk person said they were pretty full although I checked in the evening and there were only no more than 2 rooms with light on among all their 40 + rooms facing the street during our 4 nights . November is a pretty slow month in Avignon, even during the weekend of the Christmas lighting and you would hope that the hotel would be more accommodating for guests that book 2 rooms for 4 nights. We last stayed at Hotel de L'Horloge right at the center of Avignon and it was very strategically located. The building has historic character and the restaurant, Casa Bronsini was packed every night. Compared to Hotel de L'Horloge, Bristol lobby is always deserted and we seldom saw another guest when we walked through.

“Mediocre, but some nice things”

So so, although some pluses. I was surprised at so many good reviews. Maybe our room was just not the norm. Although it had been updated, it was still beat up in places. Missing/chipped paint,semi broken toilet seat, worn carpet. There was a bit of an odor in the bathroom but that may come wit… more

So so, although some pluses. I was surprised at so many good reviews. Maybe our room was just not the norm. Although it had been updated, it was still beat up in places. Missing/chipped paint,semi broken toilet seat, worn carpet. There was a bit of an odor in the bathroom but that may come with all the hotels in the old city. Due my planning error, I had to book last minute and so maybe we got a crummy room. It was quite small. The price may have been higher due to the last minute booking as deals I see now are quite a bit less. Ours was a Tuesday night. On the plus side, the staff was friendly and efficient. You can walk to everything easily. The parking garage is quite close. One big negative of being inside is that getting into the walled city can be horrible traffic, and then moving your car to the garage means driving back out of the city and coming in another entrance. I think the convenience once you get there far outweighs this but be prepared. All in all, if I had time I would shop around as for the money if was pretty mediocre. I wouldn’t not stay there if I had to, but I think there are better options.

“Avignon 2 night stay on holiday around southern France in May using public transport so needed accommodation near train”

Location handy for station and old town sights. The room was big enough with nice view to back of hotel. Bed large and comfy. Fridge. Decent bathroom but no shower screen. Made it hard to shower properly. Air con was switched of centrally by manager. We were told too early in season! Did get a fan … more

Location handy for station and old town sights. The room was big enough with nice view to back of hotel. Bed large and comfy. Fridge. Decent bathroom but no shower screen. Made it hard to shower properly. Air con was switched of centrally by manager. We were told too early in season! Did get a fan put into room. Whole hotel in need of TLC and some deep cleaning in central stairwell.
