Hôtel Mignon

I absolutely loved my weekend stay at Hotel Mignon. It was such an amazing spot for the price! The owners were extremely welcoming and kind - and upon my arrival, I was generously upgraded from a single room to a double. Avignon is already a very walkable city, but Hotel Mignon’s location is perfect - just a five minute walk to the Pont and the Palais, and located on a street with lots of cute shops. My room was warm, the bed was comfortable, the shower was warm and spacious, and the view out onto the street was lovely. I didn’t take advantage of the hotel breakfast but it smelled great! It was nice and quiet pretty much 24/7! I highly recommend this spot, especially for solo travelers like myself!

I had no reservation. I spoke with the proprietor, Leo, for many minutes. I asked if I could stay and he gave me a room for 2 nights at a very reasonable rate. His english was perfect and he gave great directions and great recommendations for sites to see in Avignon. I had several conversations with him during the course of my stay; a sort of friendship. His hotel is within steps to the heart of the city and easy walking distance to the historic sites, shops, and restaurants. I was fortunate to stay there.

I stayed here with my friend in October, and we had an incredible experience! The room was always cleaned and they would leave us with teas, soap, and coffee everyday. It is well located, right in the center of town. 20 min walk from the train station.||Most importantly, I have to mention that the couple who owns the place are so kind and accommodating! At one point they helped us open a wine bottle that we couldn't figure out haha. The man at reception also gave us some great suggestions for exploring the city and taking a day trip. Any requests we had, they always helped with, and they made us feel very at home as Americans.||Thank you so much for making our trip even better! Definitely, stay here for the great price and comfortable experience :)

Located right in the centre of town in the old part surrounded by gorgeous architecture Hotel Mignon sits. The staff were lovely, spoke English and looked after me well. I had a cozy room to myself that looked out over the city. Watching the sun set over it is something I’ll keep with me. 10/10 would absolutely stay there again.

I had a wonderful time at Hotel Mignon over my 6 night stay! The hotel is very conveniently located by the Avignon Centre and Avignon TGV train stations, making day trips very easy. The room was clean, beautiful, historical, and very comfortable. The front desk staff was very kind and knowledgeable, and then whole experience felt wonderful and very safe as a solo female traveler. The best option if you travel to Avignon!

I recently stayed at Hotel Mignon in Avignon during my first backpacking trip through France, and it was a wonderful experience. The room was perfect for me and very clean, reflecting the overall well-maintained condition of the hotel. While I didn't partake in the breakfast option, I was impressed with the service provided by the manager. He was a very kind man who made me feel welcome right away. Despite my lack of French, he was able to clearly explain everything and answer my questions about the town. His knowledge of Avignon's history was impressive and added a special touch to my visit. Avignon itself is a fantastic town, and I'm grateful I had the chance to explore both inside and outside the historic walls. A big thank you to the front desk manager for making my first solo travel experience a bit easier and more enjoyable. I hope to return and stay at Hotel Mignon again soon!

One of my best experiences in Avignon, the hotel has an amazing location, comfortable rooms and a delicious breakfast. I visited many historical places near the hotel. Places like Post Saint Bénézet and the Pope's Palace. I just had to walk around and enjoy the peace of the area.

Absolutely loved the charm and authenticity of this small hotel. Very clean and comfortable. XIV th century building with AC! Also it is walking distance from all the main tourist attractions and 1 min away from public parking. Couldn't have asked for more from a 2-star hotel. Thank you and I hope to return some day!

Wonderful hotel, at a great value. It's located within easy walking distance of the Place de l'Horloge, 10 minutes from the Palais des Papes, and maybe a 15 minute walk from the Avignon Center train station. The staff were all very friendly and helpful, even when I was faced with a booking error (on my part!). They went out of their way to help me, so nice! I'm giving four stars, only for two reasons. First, no elevator, but I knew that going in, so not really an issue. The other is the bathroom size, very tiny! This was really the one drawback for me, but as with all things that come up while traveling, you figure it out. Overall, a wonderful hotel, met my needs perfectly.

While this family-run hotel in a historic building is definitely "mignon" (cute, dainty), and one of the better values in Avignon if you're looking for a reasonable place to sleep, it has a couple caveats. 1) Do not come here if you have significantly more than the carry-on allowance of luggage. The stairs (elevator? what elevator? :P) are narrow and have tight hairpin turns, which are perfectly navigable with hand-baggage but probably no fun with more. 2) The bathroom in our particular room was, I'm pretty sure, a closet in the past, complete with a hanging rolling door that doesn't even attempt to latch or block sounds. It has now been tiled and plumbed to provide a toilet, sink, and small shower area that is at most 3' x 3' area and 6' high. If you are a larger person, or exceptionally tall, this will be a problem. 3) We had a bit of a problem with a strong eggy odor coming out of the shower drain trap in our room. It seems like it had dried out and thus plumbing smells were permeating the room, and the European AC was in no way capable of venting them out. Thankfully opening the window and strategically distributing some souvenir soap with Grasse fragrances that I'd purchased in Marseille fixed the problem. This is a one-star sort of place, so be prepared for amenities to be only a small bar of soap and a WiFi code that you have to keep entering every time your device has to re-connect to the network. I think I've memorized it by now, and I'm only staying for one night. Pros: 1) It is definitely lovingly maintained by the owners, who have a running collection of framed Festival d'Avignon posters in the stairwell, and who have decorated each room in a simple but appealing way. 2) It is extremely well situated - a very short walk to some excellent restaurants and about 5-10 min walk from the Palais des Papes. The owner provides a map of Avignon at check-in. 3) Again, a great value and much more personality than a chain hotel.

Today we stopped by this hotel to ask for some help in calling a taxi. "No" said the receptionist, "not unless you are staying here." Now we never will.
