We had a very bad experience at this hotel. Whilst the rooms were clean and modern (albeit the 'en-suite' toilet was scarcely separated by transparent fabric rather than a door!); the hotel staff became very rude and threatening when we asked to change our booking from three nights to two. When we had arrived we were asked to pay for... more

We were beyond surprised when we checked into the Hotel En Ville. Candles lit on the stairwell, and fresh flowers in the rooms welcomed us. The rooms were large by Euro standards and very very comfortable. We had a single room on the front and a double in the back with a balcony. The balcony has a bad view but... more

Stayed for 3 nights while down to see the Rugby World Cup in Marseille. Good, basic and modern rooms, a simple but good breakfast and genuine and friendly service throughout the stay. Felt a bit overpriced at €130/night - but central and would recommend for those looking for a simple hotel. more

My experience at the Hotel en Ville was never disappointing. I traveled solo and had no problems with the staff or with my room, which consisted of a comfortable queen bed and a (not-so private) single bathroom with shower. There are not many frills in the room -- it has a modern feel to the decor -- but it was... more

Flying into the Marseille airport, we decided to take the 25 minute airport shuttle bus ride to Aix-en-Provence. A 10 euro taxi ride then brought us to Hotel en Ville, situated in a fairly busy intersection in Aix-en-Provence, Place Bellegarde. The lobby looked interesting with artsy furniture and high ceilings. The decor was modern and updated--not exactly what we were... more

I agree with the other reviews that the hotel is a bit quirky and the saloon-door toilet doesn't make anay sense. Overall, the hotel is a great value compared to many of the hotels inside the ring of town which charge 150 euros for a room which is slightly better. It is an easier hotel to park than many of... more

Be aware that this is an ultra-modern minimalist hotel, so if you are used to creature comforts, this may not be the place for you. Our room was a studio with a stylish concrete floor, a step-up shower and saloon-style doors for the toilet. All very tastefully done, and very clean, but not done in a cosy style (see pictures).... more

We stayed in Hotel-en-Ville for a week and had a great time in Aix and the surrounding towns of Provence. The hotel was a good base, located at the northern edge of the old town, some 15 minute walk from the main bus and train stations. The location itself is just a few minutes walk from all the hustle and... more

June 10, 2006 We arrived in Aix on the opening day of the Cezanne Festival. The city was jammed with traffic, and we drove around endlessly looking for parking before finally securing a space in the Bellegarde parking garage. We were tired and afraid we would have to settle for a less-than-perfect place to lay our weary heads. My husband... more
