The hotel is excellently situated five minutes from the Cours Mirabeau. The room I stayed in was pleasant - quite small but fine for what we wanted - and had a lovely new bathroom with a great power shower. The hotel itself was *quite* noisy at night, but only in terms of people walking up and down the stairs and... more

Hotel des Quatre Dauphins is a good budget choice for Aix. It is ideally situated in the Quatier Mazarin, truly the nicest part of Aix. It is on a beautiful 17th c. street that is fairly quiet. The hotel itself is an old structure without the best soundproofing. Our room was tiny, barely containg a bed, two end tables and... more

This small, family-run hotel is a gem in Aix-En-Provence. The proprietors are very helpful and gracious in helping even the most timid traveler feel at home, and the rooms are very comfortable, with lovely Provençal color schemes, comfortable beds, and modern, en-suite bathrooms. The price is right, too, and the location is convenient, yet quiet. If traveling in Aix, it's... more

I feel that I need to stick up for Aix-en-Provence as it seems to have been suffering a few attacks. I have studied and lived in Aix-en-Provence and it is a bourgeois/student town. However, it has so much to offer if you venture away from the generalised/under-researched guide books. The problem is that many guides describe Aix as if they... more

Been staying here for several years & although the staf are great, the quality of the rooms is dropping. Desperately needs some painting & fixing. more

My wife and I stayed in the Quatre Dauphins for three nights in June 2007. We also had the chance to compare it to another hotel - The Cardinal just a few streets around the corner. I think, some the American reviews are a bit unfair. Of course, the rooms are small and there's no elevator. Hey, it's a 18th... more

Asked for a quote for a room with a bidet and shower. They came back with a quote for 79.60 euros all taxes and service, no breakfast. I confirmed with a credit card. They came back with a message saying it replaced the previous email and that they were confirming a room for 9 days at 86.60 euros and that... more

My husband and I are in full agreement with the Calgary and Baltimore reviews, below. Regarding the hotel, there really wasn't anything wrong with it but there was nothing special about it, either. True, the provence bedspread and curtains were very nice, but overall the room was tired and worn. There were no common areas (i.e. in the reception area)... more

Our family (young couple with one-year-old) stayed at this narrow, centrally-located hotel for two nights, March 3-4, 2007. Despite the very pleasant and helpful staff, we found both Aix and the hotel a little disappointing, and not suited to our needs. We might recommend it, but only to singles or couples travelling on a budget who are willing to sacrifice... more
