Hotel Spa Le Calendal
By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Hotel Spa Le Calendal is worth booking if you want to sleep next to the Roman sights of Arles and care more about location and service than star ratings. It suits couples and families who will explore on foot; travellers chasing the lowest price should look at our Budget pick instead.

This is our Best Value pick in Arles. It holds 3 stars, yet it has the highest guest score of the three hotels we chose: 8.9 out of 10 from 822 reviews. Its location score is 9.9, close to the maximum.
It fits travellers who want to step out of the door and be among the Roman monuments. Guests also single out the staff, which matters if you want help booking restaurants or tours. Family rooms are listed, and so is a spa.
Skip it if price is your main filter. At €155.90 a night in our sample, it cost almost twice our Budget pick. Also skip it if you need a car at the door: parking is not listed among its facilities, so it is not confirmed.
Location and getting around
The address is 5 Rue Porte de Laure, in the old town. Guests describe it as sitting between the Roman Arena and the Ancient Theatre.
Our straight-line estimates put the Arles Amphitheatre about 1 minute away (0.1 km) and the Church of St. Trophime about 3 minutes (0.2 km). The Langlois Bridge is around 29 minutes on foot (2.3 km), which is a long walk but still doable for most people. These are estimates, not measured routes.
Because parking is not confirmed, drivers should ask the hotel where to leave the car before arrival.
What guests say
Location is the first thing guests praise: central, in the old town, between the arena and the theatre. Staff come second. Reviews describe a friendly, attentive team that gives a warm welcome and helps with local reservations.
Our data shows no recurring complaint for this hotel. That does not mean there are no weak points. It means none stood out across the reviews we summarised, so read recent reviews for anything that matters to you, such as room size or street noise.
Price and what you get compared with our other picks
Reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026, for 2 adults in one room, put Le Calendal at €155.90 a night, about €312 for both nights. The Arles sample median was €124.03, so this sits above the middle of the market.
Our Budget pick, Hôtel Arles Plaza, was €86.48 a night with an 8.4 score but a less central address. Our Luxury pick, Jules César Hotel & Spa Arles - MGallery Collection, was €161.73 with 8.2. For about €6 less than the 5-star option, Le Calendal gets a higher guest score and a slightly better location score.
Listed facilities include a spa, a restaurant, family rooms, a garden, a terrace, air conditioning and free Wi-Fi. Opening times and any fees are not confirmed. These are reference figures, not live quotes, so check today's price for your dates.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 5 eligible hotels in Arles. Le Calendal tied for first place on guest score in that sample. Our Best Value slot balances score, number of reviews and price, and it is not meant to be the cheapest. Here the balance came out clearly: top score, top location and a price below the Luxury pick.
