Hôtel Cézanne Boutique-Hôtel

We spent 5 nights at Hotel Cezanne as one of the stops in our 2 week holiday in France. The entire experience was amazing. We were greeted at check in by Serena who not only told us that our room was ready (great news after a 15 hour flight) but also that we had been upgraded to a junior suite. The room was spacious, clean and comfortable. The hotel itself is in a great location, just 100m from the train station and less than 10 min walk from the main thoroughfare, Cours Mirabeau. Most of the town centre with key attractions is walkable from the hotel. It is also just off the busy area so it is an ideal location to have a restful stay and yet be able to have the rest of the town within walking distance. The hotel serves an impressive western breakfast comprising hot dishes (eggs, bacon, sausages, sautéed mushrooms, etc.), an amazing spread of breads and pastries, cereals with an assortment of dried fruit and nut that you can add, juices, and coffee and tea. The staff are friendly and are always at hand to help. We arrived from Lyon Saint Exupery airport via TGV to Aix-en-Provence TGV station, and then via an Uber to the hotel. Uber rides are generally expensive. On hindsight, a better option would be to take the TGV from Lyon Saint Exupery to Marseilles, and then switch to an SNEF train direct to Aix-en-Provence (station just 100m from the hotel). This would be the most convenient and cost-effective, especially if you have luggage to lug along.

Breakfast food choice was very good. Location was excellent being close to the old town but in a quieter area. We loved the garden area, it was pretty and very peaceful. The main thing we liked about this hotel was the staff. Everyone was so pleasant and friendly to us, from Muhammad who checked us in to Omar who looked after us extremely well in the garden.

The room was comfortable. We booked a Superior room, I understand this is a smaller boutique hotel, so the room is a little smaller that we are use to, but it was clean. The bathroom was small but the shower and sink areas were updated and clean. The hotel common areas are very nice, quaint, clean and cheery. The staff was friendly and helpful. The location is wonderful, close to the Tourism office (just a five-minute walk) where we had to meet for all our schedule tours. The breakfast was good, eggs, bacon, sausage, sauté vegetables, baked goods, fruit, cheeses, meats, yogurt, nuts, dried fruits., coffee, juices. The yogurt was delicious. Would definitely stay here again.

This hotel felt like a home away from home! The decor and styling is so homey and welcoming! The location is perfect! Just a short 5 minute walk to the town centre. The bed is super soft and incredibly comfortable. The breakfast is absolutely superb and well worth the price tag! So much variety from sweet and savoury, hot and cold! My room was cleaned on a daily basis and the the staff at reception are absolutely wonderful! So kind, attentive and helpful! They were willing to book tours, dinners, taxis, train tickets and help me get to and from places. Really lovely experience!

The hotel was super close to the main train station on a lovely street which made Aix our perfect base for travelling to different towns in the region. The courtyard was a lovely place to sit in the evening to have a drink, chill, read a book etc. The staff were lovely and professional and made us feel very welcomed. Definitely found a hidden gem in Aix-en-provence, bravo.
