My husband and I stayed here for 2 nights in September 2004. Not a good experience compared to all other places we stayed in Provence and Paris during our trip. First, the room was very small, but it was clean. Second, the first night the maid entered (tried) our room at 6am even though we had the do not disturb sign on the door. I could forgive that, but the next day the owner bit our heads off (in french --we speak poor french and were a bit confused). We finally figured out she was upset that we were bringing a baguette in to our room --we planned to have a snack in our room later--No food in room! Finally, at check out we were charged for breakfast for two, for two days even though we didn't know about it, didn't eat it and didn't know it was NOT optional (11 euros per day per person). The owner wouldn't take it off our bill. Overall, I found the place cold and uninviting --there are much better deals for the money (we paid 80 euros per night), in better locations in Arles. I tried the Calendal when booking, but it was full far in advance. Stay elsewhere if you can.

Stayed here in June 2004 for 10 nights. Stayed in a grand confort room which was poolside. Beautifully decorated. spacious bathroom with 2 sinks. We got the demipension & ate at the restaurant about every night. The food was wonderful. The saveurs de jardin ice cream was awesome. the demipension includes a 4 course dinner & breakfast. The breakfast was a very nice size buffet with several breads, croissants, home made jams, boiled eggs, cheeses, meats, cereals, juices, yogurt,&fruit. all the meals were served outside in a pretty setting. The staff was very helpful during our whole stay. The only downside is there was alot of mosquitos in Arles &we got bit when using the pool & at dinner & walking aound the town at night (although after buying some repellant did not get bit as much). If i were to stay in Arles again I would definitely pick this hotel

We spent our holidays in the Mireille from May 16 to May 21, 2004, and were positively surprised.Our room with the charming ambience of the Provence was situated in front of a swimming pool in a nice garden. Each room is individually equipped and named after a typical plant of the Provence.Breakfast and diner were accompanied by classical piano music.The hotel and restaurant team was engaged and very friendly.The restaurant is simply said great. French "haute cuisine", an experience to try. Even the breakfast, normally not a typical strength of French tourism, was very good with home-made jams.We are very pleased and happy with our unforgetable stay in the Mireille.---------------------

My husand and I ( we are in our mid fifties) spent 3 days in July,2003 in Arles. The hotel met all our needs, the room ( did not have the most expensvie) was absolutely fine from a most comfortable bed, a very clean and up to date bathroom and quiet setting. Our room did not include breakfast but on our first morning, we thought we would give it a try before we started out for the day and were we glad we did! The cost is minimal for the experience you encounter, a beautiful outdoor setting and a fine selection of food - what a great way to start off our day! The staff were all friendly and in particular we found the staff on the reception desk to be very pleasant and more than happy to be of assistance. The hotel is located across the river from the main town, however, it is only a 5 minute walk across the river. If you are travelling by train as we were, the hotel is about a 20 minute walk.
When departing the train station, turn left into the town, head toward the river and walk along the path til you get to the Bridge of Tranquility, go down the stairs to your right, walk for just a bit and to your left you will see the hotel. Hope you enjoy your stay as much as we did.
