we stayed here for one night. the hotel was comfortable and clean and we ate in the restaurant which was good The staff were very friendly and helpful. The hotel was in a good location for the central park of Orange.
We (two ladies of retirement age), enjoyed our stay greatly. Will almost certainly return, although presence of cafe and bar directly beneath windows of our room might be a concern in summer for anyone who turns in early. As of early May, all was peaceful and ver comfortable. Available parking a plus.
Do not use GPS to get to this hotel because it tries to send you down blocked off streets. A French couple spotted us trying to get there and said it happened a lot. Just put Rue Victor Hugo in as the address and you will find it. The rise and fall bollards are in front of the hotel and the receptionist will lower them for you, no problem. We were personally taken to our room and very nice it was, too. So conveniently situated for everything you would want to explore in this charming and historic little town.
Very nicely placed for the city and surrounding areas. The staff were very helpful and friendly. We booked for two nights and stayed for four. Safe and secure car parking and a nice restaurant. We will stay there again. Paul and Dawn
The hotel is in the center of Orange, not far from all restaurants. But no need to look for a good restaurant. The hotel serve super good food. With a new menu every day. Breakfast with fresh local ingredients. Staff very friendly.
Central location in beautiful small town. Easy walking to historic sites and around town. Friendly and helpful staff. Breakfasts were amazing, good selection of pancakes, croissants, breads, homemade jams, lovely cheese and cold meat selection.
What a nice hotel it is, hotel Arène. I used to book hotels along de Autoroute du soleil and I have never paid much attention to these kind of stays. After a bad experience (cfr previous) I tried to book somewhere else. More in the centre and this led me to Hotel Arène. The staff is super friendly and they welcomed us with a big smile. There is a valet service for you car and restaurants are at a walking distance. Plus what a beautiful city Orange is ;) Waking up in the historic centre of Orange, knowing that a good breakfast is waiting for you is a priceless feeling. Thanks Hotel Arène
This is a lovely hotel right in the middle of Orange. The rooms are well presented and equipped and my daughter and I had a very comfortable stay. We had a room at the front of the hotel which had a small balcony overlooking the square, very nice indeed. Watch out for the full size images on the room doors of performers who have appeared at the Roman theatre, It can be a bit startling when you get out of the lift if you are not expecting to see an opera singer! The breakfast was good however we were less impressed with dinner. That said it was reasonable value and the staff were very good.
Great hotel. Close to everything. Friendly Staff. 24 hr front desk. For a fee ( I think it was about 10 Euros) staff take and park your car for you, and get it back for you whenever you like. Comforable room. Pool looked nice, though we didn't have time to use it. Roman Amphitehere is about 5 mins walk away, and is absolutely amazing. Ancient Arc de Triomphe 10 mins walk away, free, and pretty great Also. Pont du Gard is about 40 mins away, and Avignon about the same. Would be a great base to explore the area.
Excellent hotel with superfirendly staff. The hotel is in the center of the town, in walking distance of bars and restaurants. Once you have found the hotel, the staff will park your car. We had a free upgrade of our room. The room we had was very large, clean, good airco and wifi, separate large bathroom and walk-in closet. The pool is small, but adequate. The gym is also not very large. The best things about this hotel are the friendly staff, the location in the center of town and the price.
