Séjours & Affaires Aix-en-Provence Mirabeau

Location. Near bus station. Balcony was a plus

Perhaps a small table and chair on the little balcony

Everything was great. We are artists and came to perform at the Grand Theatre, so the location was absolutely perfect for us, right next to the theatre. There are grocery stores, shopping areas, and a bus station nearby, and the historic city center is only a two-minute walk away. The apartment has everything necessary for a comfortable stay. If you need a hairdryer, you can ask for one at the reception. Overall, we really enjoyed our stay — the apartment is small but very conveniently located.

The location is fantastic & the staff are wonderful.

It’s very dated and basic BUT for the price I did not expect the Ritz. The bedding was clean visibly but the pillows had a smell like they were not fresh.

Location is excellent...close to restaurants, supermarket, coffee shops, pastry shops, Tourism Office and Old Town. Cooking facilities...stovetop, fridge, dishes, coffee pot (although very dirty), iron and ironing board. Small balcony...great for fresh air and to hang wet towels (although not big enough to sit on). Aix hotels are quite expensive. This hotel was very affordable. Although, it felt more like student housing. The two cleaning ladies were very friendly and accommodating.

Reception staff was not friendly. They hid behind their computers all day. During our two week stay, the employees never initiated a "Bonjour." They were often defensive when we asked them for assistance with our air condition unit not working. Hospitality is not their strength. Reception is closed at night and on weekends as well. The twin beds are more like gurneys...very narrow and on the hard side! Would not be comfortable for a tall or large person. Bedding consisted of a loose sheet on top of the mattress, a comforter, and two square lumpy pillows. A bottom fitted sheet and a second sheet would have been nice. Two people can not be in the bathroom together. The shower is a small cube with a flimsy curtain. Sometimes, the bathroom smelled musty. Cleaning takes place once a week. Bedding and towels were changed. Floors were swept. Garbage was removed. Very basic cleaning. A small bag with a dish cloth, sponge, dish towel, and a small sachet of dish soap was given to us at the beginning of our two week stay. Toward the end of our second week, we asked reception for more dish soap, and we were told that we had to provide our own. At the end of our two week stay, we were responsible for bringing our garbage to a stinky room of huge garbage containers and swarming flies. It was disgusting!
