Recently spent a week at the Royal Mirabeau in Aix while on business. The hotel is above average for the area, from what I can tell, but it is a 3 star rated hotel best suited for business travellers.
There was free WifI internet access which was a very big plus and and savings.
The rooms were a good size and clean. However, the AC never cooled the room sufficiently and I kept the window open for cooling,
The staff spoke English, though spotty at times.
The Mona Lisa restaurant was adequate, but the food was nothing very exciting or tasteful.
There were lots of tourists (asian tour buses) and business types staying in the hotel, and the hotel was fully booked most of the time.
The location is good if you are working in the industrial / business zone where the hotel is located. This location is not good for tourists, as Aix center is some 20+ minutes away by car.
I stayed 6 days, but was only charged for two - and I couldn't convince the front desk staff to charge me accordingly!
Overall, I will stay here again, as it is the best hotel in this zone. I still recommend it for business travellers to this area.
It is conveniently located 10 minutes from the TGV train station which will whisk you to Paris.
