Hôtel Arles - Le Calendal & SPA

We had a splendid time in Arles largely due to the wonderful hotel/spa we stayed in. The location was convenient to all the sites we wanted to see, and the hardest working manager we have ever seen, Natalie, made sure every question was answered (in english) and every need was met. The room was extremely clean and comfortable and quite large by European standards. The breakfast was nutritious and filling (at an additional, reasonable cost), and the spa was wonderful and free (reservation required, adults onl) O f note: spa water set for only 90 degrees). My massage (also very reasonably priced) was relaxing and just what my weary body needed. The rooftop bar was a wonderful place to view sunsets. The restaurant closes at 8:30 pm so as to not disturb guests but there are plenty of other excellent places to eat within easy walking distance. We cannot recommend this hotel/spa highly enough.

I was blown away by this hotel! My room was a great size with lovely decor, and the little private terrace with its own table and chairs was such a nice surprise. I slept really well thanks to the comfortable bed, lack of noise, and shutters keeping out the light. The best thing about the hotel is that it offers so much more than just the room. The spa was so peaceful and incredibly special with its view of the amphitheatre just metres away. There is a rooftop bar with a marvellous view of the rooftops and Roman sites. I also enjoyed a really delicious lunch at the café, which was great value for money. The central location is absolutely perfect and the atmosphere is lovely and buzzing with the bar/café at the front. Finally, the people working here were all so friendly and helpful. Thank you for making my first visit to Arles so special!

Comfortable room (comfy mattress & pillows/linens), storage space, couch) with a spectacular view of the ruins across the street. Friendly, helpful staff. Victore, in particular, answered my many (oh so many) questions prior to and during our stay with a smile which I appreciate. Great spa area to relax in after a day of trekking around. Good continental breakfast (great to wonderful if you're a pastry lover). Don't miss drinks at the rooftop bar in the evening.

Hotel is centrally located. What really stood out was the wonderful customer service. Every hotel staff was so friendly and welcoming. They offered free ice water, which was greatly appreciated as it was close to 100F. Also they offered laundry service for 13 euro per bag. Highly recommend, A+++++++++

What a delight this hotel is! Charming atmosphere, beautiful breakfast in the garden, cocktails on the roof overlooking the region in the evening, and exceptional and friendly service from the staff. Right in the heart of Arles, you can walk to everything, and if you have a car, take them up on the parking reservation they offer. The rooms were simple but clean and comfortable, and exactly what I am looking for when I travel.

The Calendal is a lovely, restful hotel right in the middle of everything you want to see in Arles. The breakfast buffet has a wide variety and is worth the price. There is a lovely patio in the back for you to enjoy your breakfast or an afternoon drink. The rooms are updated and have plenty of USB ports as well as A/C! The staff is very welcoming as well, both in French and English! The rooftop patio offers a lovely view of Arles while enjoying an afternoon beverage.

We stayed here for four nights in mid May. Our first time in Provence region. The location was great, easy to navigate, rooms and breakfast were lovely. Our room was on the first floor, with a private terrace so we could spend time next to the flowers in bloom and listening to the birds and church bells. The hotel service was top notch, we loved having drinks on the terrace every night and the hotel recommendations for dinner were excellent. Arles is a gem, we could have stayed much longer, there is so much to see and experience. We would definitely return!

Le Calendal is a lovely hotel right in the heart of what you want to visit in Arles. The room was updated and clean, with plenty of USB ports and A/C, which was very welcome in late June! The breakfast buffet has a lot of variety and is well worth the money. There is a lovely outdoor patio in the back of the hotel for enjoying breakfast or a drink. Chilled water available at any time is very welcome as well. The new rooftop patio offered amazing views of Arles while enjoying a cocktail.

I was here for 4 nights here in Arles (Provence region of southern France). Very comfortable and helpful staff. Everyone speaks English to varying degrees but also working knowledge of Italian and German. The have 37 rooms for singles, doubles, triples and family rooms for 4 persons. Singles are 119 Euro and doubles are 119-179 (with terrace) Euro. No lift, but all rooms are on 2 floors. Very nice buffet breakfast. They provide a 1 liter glass bottle you can get still or sparkling water upon request. The hotel is very close to the Roman Arena, where bullfights occur now and the Theatre Antique, a Roman amphitheater now used for multiple events including concerts. The have a takeaway cafeteria (le Comptoir) with Movenpick gelato, pastries, friut, coffee drinks. Several good bistros and restaurants are literally across the rue Laure or just down the street. Multiple cuisines (Indian, Thai, Sushi, seafood) is available. They also an in-house spa

On the advice of Rick Steves, my wife and I stayed at the Hotel le Calendal, and we're very glad we did. It's located halfway between the Roman ampitheatre and the Roman theatre in Arles -- ideal location! The room we were in (4) had a balcony that overlooked the Roman theatre -- it's appears to be the only room with a balcony. Given the quaint, 19th century look and feel of the hotel, we were pleasantly surprised by the interior of the room -- air conditioning, modern lighting with switches by the bed to control the room lights, USB charging ports each side of the bed, strong wifi signal, large tub, modern shower and toilet, plenty of hot water, comfortable bed -- it was on a par with most modern hotels in terms of amenities and comfort. There's a 24-hour cafe in the lobby and the night manager is happy to serve you food and drinks any hour of the night. Breakfast is an extra charge and consists of cold cuts, cheese, various breads, fresh orange juice (that you prepare yourself on an electric squeezer), tea, coffee, and hot chocolate. Alternatively, you can forego the breakfast fee and buy what you want from the lobby cafe. The staff were all cheerful, courteous, and helpful. Most spoke passable English so there was never any problem with communication. Some caveats -- there is no long-term parking at the hotel -- we had to unload our luggage near the hotel front door, then go park the car at a city parking garage nearby. It's only about 5 minutes away, so no big deal -- it's just a little inconvenient if you need to access your car while staying in the hotel. Luckily, just about everything worth seeing in Arles is walking distance from the hotel. Also, there's no elevator and the stairways are a little narrow, so pack light and small if possible. A pleasant bonus is that guests get to use the "spa" which is fashioned like a modern rendition of a Roman bath -- a large tub about 5 feet deep that's about 15 feet square filled with water at 90°F with a sitting area that has air bubbles. There's also a steam room, shower, and lounge area with tea and coffee facilities. Guests must make a booking to use it and there's a limit of 12 people at a time. So be sure to pack your swimsuit, even in winter. Bottom line -- Hotel Le Calendal is a superb place to have as your base when sightseeing in Arles.

I stayed at the Hotel Le Calendal in Arles, France on 5/8/2018 (room #31). It was my 1st time there. I was traveling with my cousin's Bruna & Fabio. A great location when going to Arles. Right next to the wonderful Roman Amphitheater. A pleasant staff as well. Plus, I took photos.

The staff was very friendly and polite. They all spoke English very well. We had a room with a beautiful view. Beds were comfy. The Room we stayed in needed some updating in the bathtub/shower area. Instead of a huge step up over the side of the tub, they need a simple walk in shower. The risk of falling are too great in this slippery tub. The tub floor sits almost as high as the sink. So imagine your step down getting out. Also new paint colors & art work would improve the look of this room.

Such a cool place and close to everything. We stayed in their hotel for a night. Staff was amazing. I would definitely recommend Le Calendal
