This is our Budget pick in Avignon, a 3-star hotel at €62.42 a night in our reference sample. Guests rate it 8.0 out of 10 from 2,279 reviews, and its location score is 9.4.
It suits travellers arriving by train, since guests say the station is within walking distance, and anyone who wants to see the sights on foot for little money. Family rooms are listed.
Skip it if you want the highest guest score in town. It ranked joint 8th of 9 hotels we compared on that measure, so the low price is the main draw.
Location and getting around
The address is 31/33 Rue De La République. Guests describe the position as central, close to the train station, shops and the Papal Palace.
Straight-line walking estimates: the Palais des Papes about 8 minutes (0.6 km), Avignon Cathedral about 9 minutes (0.7 km) and the Musée du Petit Palais about 10 minutes (0.8 km). These are estimates, not measured routes.
Parking is not listed in our data, so it is not confirmed. If you drive, ask the hotel about nearby options before arrival.
What guests say
Guests praise the location and a friendly, helpful team that gives a warm welcome and attentive service.
Breakfast is the mixed point. The buffet is varied with fresh options, and gluten-free items are listed alongside continental and buffet styles. Still, guests say the dining area is small and the selection is sometimes limited.
