City Residence Avignon

-

This was the worst place we ever stayed in. The room smelt bad and we found out only after 2 days why - there was a (dirty) sock put on the smoke detector... The window was dificult to open. The fridge was old and smelling very bad and around it and underneath it it was soo dirty. The floor was sticky. The walls were dirty and dusty around the corners. The elevator was very dirty as well. The photos from booking show decent rooms... but you won't find them here.

Staff was friendly and helpful. Location is good, just a 10 minute walk to the center. The parking is ok since it is closed.

Unfortunately, the room was very dirty from the moment we came. After using once the towel for the bathroom floor (to come out of the shower), it was very dirty as it "mopped" it. The rooms are basic but not having AC in the summer makes it nearly impossible to sleep. A cargo train passes by several times during the night, for which it is not possible to leave the balcony door open. We got one roll of toilet paper and had to go to the front desk if we needed more. No one cleaned the room during the 3, 4 days we were there. Underestandable that during the Festival in July prices go up, but this was even more expensive than an apartment rental in Lyon which even had a washing machine. Definitely not worth the price.

The room was unbearably hot all day and impossible to sleep in. It had no air conditioning and received the afternoon sun. We could not bear it and checked out 2 days early and paid for another hotel. Aside from that it looks like student accommodation and I would not have booked it if I had seen it first.
