Grand Hôtel Roi René Aix-en-Provence Centre - MGallery

Excellent hotel on all levels. Friendly staff, great breakfast, elegant bar, beautiful room with ensuite bath and shower and separate toilet. High end toiletries and variety of useful beauty items I.e. nail file, q tips, cotton wool pads. Room fridge supplied with sparkling water and still. Big enough to store juice and our own drinks.|Definitely would recommend.

Incredibly quiet. We stayed for 10 days, and got great sleep every night. Apple Maps and Google maps have the entrance on the wrong side of the building, so the first day had just a bit of trouble finding it. Super easy access to the old town - just across the street! Art galleries, museums, an English language bookstore, 10 minute walk to the heart of almost everything you want to see here. Staff is exceptionally friendly and helpful. Can't say enough about Marvin and Lysa at the front desk. We came almost every day with a request, a question, or trying to make arrangements . They handled it all with grace and style. I would stay here again easily Sir Winston Churchill stayed here, as well. If driving, do make those arrangements in advance, there is a garage below the hotel, but it fills up fast. Does have electric charging available, but those go fast as well.||If I have any even slightly negative to post, it would only be that this hotel is popular with Americans, and while we were there, there were some mornings when it was busy. Not crowded, but definitely busy. But overall, a great place to make your base of operations!

Nice hotel, good location. Liked the pool area which was quite calm and clean. Rooms were not very big, but clean and tidy. The only downside were the extremely long cues at reception.

Lovely, well maintained hotel, beautifully finished with stylish decor. Well appointed rooms . We had a great stay and enjoyed the restaurant & pool. We walked to all the sites and close to the train station too.

We really enjoyed the Grand Hôtel Roi René Aix-en-Provence. The location was great. It was a short walk to the main city strip. The on site parking garage was great too. Book the parking early because they fill up. The staff was amazing in every way!

This hotel has everything you could possibly need in a guestroom and hotel property, and everything works! Air conditioning, bathrobe and slippers, Nespresso machine, and a quiet pool area and restaurant. My only disappointment was that my guestroom had one small window while the photos on the website of the Classic Room show a lovely floor to ceiling window. Next time I will ask not to be placed on the third floor.

The public areas are really nice the staff are excellent a special mention to the lady at the Viking desk who helped us get our train tickets refunded. The rooms are disappointing the beds ok air con ok location is excellent but the rooms are pokey and very tired and the bathroom worse. The tap for the bath leaked water pressure awful and the plug didn’t seal the bath.

This is one of the worst hotels I’ve ever stayed in. The rooms need a complete overhaul. It is a tourist hotel with large groups. The food and service are weak. The carpets are filthy. The hotel ran out of napkins, hand towels and basic amenities that one would find at a Motel 6. This is not a 4star property. Save yourself do not stay at this property!

The carpet is disgusting the general appearance is dirty The restaurant is good but limited and even our guide recommended we not eat there We couldn't get the light off in the closet and the door wouldn't close so it glared all night

Very nice hotel near the center of Aix (about a 12 minute walk to the center restaurants) with extremely attentive and friendly front desk staff. Rooms are comfortable but a little small. Room bathrooms are extremely clean and have plenty of soap, shampoo, conditioner, other disposable items. Breakfast area is very nice, hotel has a beautiful patio area, and pool and lounge area is nice. Only detractors are the room prices, street noise can get loud, and hotel is older.

I'm not sure how it gets much better than this. Awesome place, great staff, fabulous room, superb location, and the included breakfast buffet is among the best I've had anywhere. We were here for 3 nights as we were using Aix as our base for exploring and I wish we had stayed longer. Best hotel we had in over 2 weeks in Europe. Everything was walking distance and old town is so fun to explore. The room was a generous size and very comfortable. Parking is available in the underground garage at extra cost but it was so worth it to not have to fight for spaces. The lobby has multiple seating areas and is well appointed. And that breakfast? Wow. I never needed lunch on any of the days we spent in Aix! Highly recommended.

We really loved this hotel! Great walkable location to all of the charming shops and cafes in Aix-en-Provence. Staff were very friendly and very accommodating of our late (after midnight) arrival. They valeted our car into the garage to make our checkin easier. Their underground garage turned out to be quite spacious, which was a nice bonus. Their breakfasts were spectacular and we literally couldn't wait to get down there every morning! Superb service and so many selections, it was tough not to overdo it. Even though our room wasn't huge, it was nicely laid out with plenty of places for storing suitcases so we were never cramped. Our outdoor balcony was perfect for enjoying the warm afternoons with a nice bottle of Provence Rosè.

It's a tough life when your Company has a facility near Marseilles and they put you up to stay in Aix en Provence during your stay. The Hotel Roi Rene is also nicely located within the heart of Cézanne's home town, near to the Cours Mirabeau, and the business district. The rooms were nice and hanging out by the pool was even nicer. Hotel Service (room, breakfast, and parking) were also prompt, efficient, and well received. I'd be back here in a minute if offered another chance to travel back.

For the room and pool area, it would be four stars. However the service was quite lacking. When we requested a taxi to the train station, one would think that the front desk might consider telling us that there was a train strike. In addition, they attempted to charge us for two days of breakfast (some 30e/person per day). When we disputed the charge, they kind of threw up their hands in the air as if to say, "What do you expect me to do?" We had to argue to get the charges refunded. Ridiculous experience. Why pay for a 4-star if you are only going to get 1-star quality of service?

PRIME real estate and a great room. We got a room with a deck and it was the perfect weather. I didn't get to check out the pool but it looked fantastic. Turn down service and a free bottle of water. Breakfast spread was decent and service was great. Get there early though because the seating is limited.

Absolutely wonderful. The rooms are really nice, the beds are comfortable, and the service was first rate. My daughters loved the pool. The location is 2 blocks from the main street in Aix. And it's very easy to drive to. They offer to let you park your car yourself - don't do it. Their garage is so tight, there's no way you can do it yourself. Get the valet to do it (they're fast).

A superb location while visiting Aix. The staff was very accommodating with every detail needed during our stay. The breakfast included in our rate was a perfect start to each day. The pool and court yard was a delightful space where one can unwind with an aperitif after a long day. Highly recommend.

Loving our hotel here in Aix. It's in a perfect location just a quick walk from/to the hustle and bustle of the town center. The hotel has a modern decor and a lovely pool. Its really the quintessential boutique hotel. The morning breakfast is perfect and delicious. The best we've had so far. I will be back :)

Pleasant hotel great for exploring Aix The hotel is just 5-10 minutes walk from the Cours Mirabeau which is the main business area in Aix. It is about the same distance from the Aix train station, which links you to Marseille. This makes it great if you just want to explore Aix and relax by the lovely pool area that the hotel has. This incidently has lots of loungers and is waiter attended. The rooms are spotlessly clean, though if you want a quiet and pleasant stay ask for a room which overlooks the pool and garden area. The hotel adds some nice touches by folding the bed sheets over each evening and placing a Callisson (a locally made sweet almond paste sweet) on your pillow. White fluffy towelling robes are also provided. The rooms are very comfortable but resemble most chains, so don't expect traditional Provencale style. The breakfast area includes a terrace which is by the pool so that you can make the most of lovely summer weather. Breakfast is buffet style, with lots of choice of either cooked (eggs, bacon) or continental style. The service was good but not at all friendly, Aix as a whole however did not seem to be a very friendly place (It makes up for that in beauty though). Bar, phone and food prices seemed very reasonable.
