The Hotel Spa Le Calendal exceeded our expectations - this is a boutique hotel that truly does everything right. We were visiting for my wife's birthday and everyone who worked in the building made us feel special. The room had an excellent view of the Roman theatre across the street, and the entire room was spotless. This is a hotel that is obviously very well managed - there are so many ”small extras” like free refillable water, access to the fantastic little spa, reasonable prices for breakfast whether at the buffet or little eatery by the street...every aspect of the customer experience has been thought through and they execute everything beautifully. The staff is so friendly and helpful - we didn't meet a single person working there who didn't make us feel valued. We will be back!

This beautiful old hotel is very close to the Amphithéâtre—a well-preserved Roman arena in the heart of Arles. The front desk staff is very friendly and accommodating, and the rooms are quite nice. Our party of three had a very nice room up a flight of stairs from street-level. We arrived by train in the early afternoon, and they happily stored our luggage until a room was ready for us. We stayed the night and had a late departure the next day, and hotel staff made it clear that we could again store luggage and use downstairs facilities after checking out in the morning. The lobby includes two excellent lounge areas with books and old furniture. It’s kind of like spending the night in a museum. I would definitely want to stay here again if I came back to Arles!

Staff nice, small room but clean. Close to train station . Please be aware no lift.

At arrival we found out that almost no one speaks proper English at this hotel so if you have complaints beware... In our room we had only 2 towels so we asked for extra towels for using the pool but at the all we got was a ”No!”. After drying off at the pool you have to use your towel and for showering afterwards you have to use the same towel and if you want to shower the next morning you still have to use this same towel... Breakfast is chaotic and this hotel has never heard of ”Routing” and other hospitality stuff... When you enter the breakfast room you will find clean trays (With 2 little bags of sugar. God knows why...) in the ”thing”that every other hotel uses to collect the dirty trays with the dishes after breakfast... Only few hotelpeople know where someone put the Earl Grey tea, ), you have to walk crisscross along the buffet because there is no logic of what is where. After picking up the tray you pick up a plate somewhere, you walk to the end of the buffet for some bread, on the other end of the buffet there is ham and cheese, in the middle there is juice and everybody is lost because there is no logic in what to be found where at this buffet... For example: The butter is not next to the bread You have to search for the butter. It's put in a liitle black box next to cheese and ham... (No! I was not the only one who could not find it...) At the reception desk thetre is almost no one that speaks proper English. In the weekend we found out that a weekend help, a student, could speak English and he was the first person who we could tell about our complaints. Tea, towels, breakfast and only Frnch-speaking staff at a tourist hotel in a very touristic region... After 5 nights at check-out we first heard that it was not standard at Ibis Hotels to receive 2 towels per person per night... (I have stayed at a many Ibis hotels and I can tell you that 2 towels per person per night IS standard and not only at Ibis Hotels but at most self-respecting hotels...) After this fairytale the receptionist told us they have a problem with the laundry-service. Unfortunately they make their problems the problems of the guests because of course they can walk into a store and buy an extra 100 towels for guests. Some staff really try to be friendly but because almost no one speaks English, the harsh ”No!” for extra towels at their own pool, the strange breakfast buffet that lacks logic routing and normal black tea we really do NOT recommend this hotel...

Lovely little hotel right in the historic heart of Arles yet in a quiet corner. Perfect location if you’re arriving by bus or train - as we were. The staff are very welcoming and make a special effort including offering to take luggage up to the room. We arrived several hours early and Julie moved reservations around so we could get check-in. She didn’t have to do that as we only hoped to leave or luggage. The bedroom was lovely - basic but with rough-hewn stone walls in keeping with the history of the building. Breakfast was fine. I left a beret in a neighbouring restaurant and they (Sylvie) retrieved it for me and posted it to me. Great experience and great service!

The hotel is in a very convenient position couple of minutes from the train station and just within the old walls of the old city. At check in, one of the staff had decent english so explained what was where in the old town and some recommendations. Outside of the hotel there are road works going on but room double glazed which made the soundproofing excellent. The only issue was the room was very hot/stuffy. Helpful to have a mini- fridge in room but it heats up the cupboard and the room. Everything within the old town is easily accessible as mostly pedestrianised and impossible to get lost. If you have got to the river, the road or the walls turn around! The hotel was good value and comfortable. I would not stay here for more than 3 or 4 days, but you only need a couple of days to see Arles so ideal for a brief visit. There are loads of places to eat nearby plus variety of small shops and a Monoprix on the roundabout. There was also a large outdoor market on the Wednesday we were there with loads of stalls selling everything from mattresses to bananas!
