Hotel Mignon - Avignon

9.7

I really liked this tiny hotel. It was cool, clean and nicely decorated and the beds were very comfortable. The bathroom was tiny and the shower fitting a bit basic, and there were no frills like minibars or tea making facilities and no lift (no space!) - just the essentials. The patron was very pleasant, welcoming, helpful and friendly. The location was superb.

8.7

We stayed two nights in Avignon. The location of the hotel is fantastic and I would highly recommend the hotel. I would choose a room with a slightly larger bathroom in the future; in the room in which we stayed it was difficult to wash your hands since the bathroom was on a slightly raised platform and the toilet was on an angle.

7.5

Very helpful staff. Good location near visitor favorites.

8.1

Room was small, but that was expected for this part of Europe. Room was clean, quiet and functional, the WIFI was the best we had anywhere in Europe. Position of hotel is close to resaurants and all local touoris attractions (within walking distance). Owners of hotel were exceptionally helpful and polite (any time we asked for coffee it was made with a smile and we were never charged ...we did travel out of season). Over all if I returned to Aviginon I would have no hesitation in staying at this hotel again.

9.6

The help we got from the staff in our day trips was excellent We were provided with ideas and maps The location of this nice little hotel is perfect

9.8

Very friendly atmosphere!!

8.4

Very nice and quiet hotel with airco, situated in the city center. Close to the important sites. We were staying with three friends (women) in one room, size of the room was not big but ok, tiny bathroom but functional (and there was also a common toilet on the hallway). Friendly staff.

7.7

excellent location amongst the best shops we encountered throughout France all on the doorstep beautiful quiet city

9.7

Lovely small B & B with very helpful and warm welcome from the owners. This is a tiny, well kept property, with a quaint, gently worn but very homey feel. In view of the high euro, it is a very nice option for the budget conscious traveller. The bed was good, the room quiet and very clean and the owners could not have been more kind. The location was superb, on a quiet street of 17th and 18th century buildings very close to main shopping and dining areas. Excellent coffee and rolls for breakfast, and staff helpful with tour bookings

8.8

Very friendly staff and excellent location. Our room was quite spacious, but the bathroom was small and a tad old. Good value for money.

8.4

The location of Hotel Mignon is very good; within easy walking distance of the bus and train stations and also very close the main attractions of Avignon. The room was very quiet. The hotel also has internet access for its guests. There is no lift so guests need to be prepared to carry luggage up several flights of stairs. The hotel staff are very friendly and accomodating - we were able to leave our luggage at the hotel after checking out so we could enjoy the afternoon in Avignon prior to leaving on a late afternoon bus.

Very nice, have stayed other hotels in Avignon, Mercury, Kyriad and this was the best. Owner or manager was a very good human being.

8.6

Very friendly and pleasant. Room a bit small and the usual French aversion to reading lamps. A good (free) breakfast with coffee, rolls, crosaints, etc. Room was cheerful enough.

7.8

The room was very small, particularly the shower room and loo. However, the location, cleanliness, friendliness and overall ambiance did much to make up for this. We almost decided to move after one night but were glad we decided to stay.

9.7

excellent location, very quiet. walking distance to Palace of Popes.

6.2

Excellent location in Avignon. The patron was very helpful and spoke very good english (his night manager did not). He offered us a choice of rooms which was nice. The room was a little tired, in need of refurbishment, particularly the carpets. As expected, the bathroom was miniscule - butt on john, feet in the bedroom, and numerous elbow bruises from the use of the shower. The hotel's confirming email said one night's deposit would be charged to credit card one week before arrival and it would be non-refundable. However, upon check-out staff said that did not the case. That was confusing and I left not knowing if I paid for the first night twice. Best to check this out upon arrival with the owner, not the night manager. The hotel should amend it's confirmation email. Availability of free email in the lobby was a great plus. Overall we enjoyed our stay, but might pay a few Euros more elsewhere for a nicer room.

6.9

The hotel owner is very nice and welcoming. Great location. Car parks close to the hotel, but not included in the price. The bathroom is incredibly small (it's actually a closet transformed into a bathroom).

9.9

Friendly, family-run hotel. Excellent central location. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Thoroughly recommended.

9.2

We stayed 2 nights, and for the cost- you receive a warm welcome,good room,adequate facilities,cleanliness ++, traditional French breakfast, all a bit 'compact' but superb location.Sightseeing best shops restaurants Art galleries all within walking distance. Owner/staff very helpful. We would return to stay no problem and/or recommend.

5.4

The hotel manager was very nice. As others have said, the rooms were very small and not updated. The breakfast was sparse, coffee and croissants. This was my least favorite hotel of my stay. Also, it was necessary to park in a public lot which was expensive. I understand that the manager had a parking arrangement which was less expensive with a lot, but it was farther away, and since it was cold, we decided to forgo that option. As I said though, the manager was welcoming and helpful.

8.3

I stayed with my 2 children and a part the bathroom very small, the room was spacious and confortable. The owner very nice and helpfull. To recommend to visit Avignon, good value for money.Good breakfast.

10

Hotel Mignon is a good budget place to stay in an excellent location, within the walled city and a few minutes' walk from the central square. The family who runs it were helpful and the room was great for the price.

9.4

the manager made us very welcome and was very helpfull. our stay was for 5 days and we were treated with excellent service, breakfast good and the room was small but of a good standard if we were to return to Avignon we would stay there again.

9.5

It was a nice hotel. good location,reasonable price,friendly hospitality

9.5

Not sure why it's a one star. Sure, the room and bathroom weren't the largest, but they provided all the amenities we needed, which included a/c, free wifi, and a French continental breakfast. The location was fantastic, located near upscale shopping so that at night, the neigborhood quieted down nicely, but only 3 blocks from tons of restaurants and bars, and just a little further to the Papal Palace. The owners were very accommodating, and we'd stay here again in a heartbeat.

7.5

Fantastic location, welcoming staff (the manager - but his wife was frosty / unfriendly). Nice room for the price but the bathroom is a cupboard and far too small for any grown person over 5ft 2 - so OK for me, but not for most people! So - fine if you don't mind not washing!

4.9

When I arrive at Mignon (about 14:00)it looks like full reserved other peoples. Reseption of Mignon intrduced us Hotel Le Provencal whitch is oppsite side of the road and is same price, better grade. We are satisfied with venere.com and Mignon. Thank you. Upper assessment is about Hotel le Provancal.

9.8

Very friendly and helpful, clean, low price, very well located for walking to sites. Excellent value

8.6

Excellent central location, run by a lovely friendly owner. I can understand that some people might find the rooms and bathrooms small, but they are still useable, and for the location and atmosphere, it was worth it.

9.1

I normally don't write on these types of pages, but feel i owe it to hotel mignon! the owner was so welcoming and helpful, the rooms were cosy and clean, great value for money...can highly recommend for budget traveller.

7.8

We enjoyed our stay. Very helpful and welcoming staff.

9.2

Perhaps the most friendly of all the hotels we stayed at on our trip (and that is saying something). Make no mistake, the rooms are small, but they are very comfortable and very clean, and the staff will go out of their way for you. The hotel is well placed to see Pont-de-Benezet and Palais-de-Papes, and although across town from the train station, the compact nature of Avignon means it is still only a ten minute walk from the hotel to either the train station, or the TGV station shuttle bus. At the end of the day, especially given how reasonably priced the hotel is, I would recommend Hotel Mignon strongly to anyone going to Avignon.

8.1

Nice hotel. There was not much around as far as shopping or stores to buy essentials. A little bit of a walk to the city center but a good buy. Would stay closer next time.

7.1

This hotel is ideally situated for all sightseeing in Avignon. It is small and personal with very nice, cozy rooms. There is no lift, only a narrow staircase (not easy with a heavy suitcase). The staff is helpful.

2.8

Parking advertised as 10 meters from hotel did not exist. Room was too small to move about. We only stayed for one night although we paid for two nights. Would not recommend this hotel.

5.9

The location is quite good although Avignon is a small town and all the sightseeing places are in walkable distance from any hotel in the town. The toilet is the smallest one I've ever seen, however, compare with the price, you can't really complain too much though.

6.7

We were quoted a price on the website which we accepted but as a request we asked for twin beds. When we came to check out the hotel did try to charge us more for a room with twin beds as most rooms were just a double, but it never stated on the website that a request could alter the price, and I feel the hotel should contact a future guest immediately if the request could lead to an alteration of price.

9.3

Great hospitality, nice breakfast area, super location within the walls of Avignon and close to everything by foot. Parking is available close to hotel in Palais de Papes parking for 7 Euros a night which was very reasonable considering parking prices in Europe. Staff are v gracious. Internet available right on premises which was great for decent price. NO A/C during hot spell which made sleeping a little trickier, but overall stay was v pleasant and good price overall.

8.7

Very nice hotel. The staff was very helpful and knowledgeable. The location was excellent. Really close to everything we wanted to see, all within easy walking distance. As with many European hotels, the bathroom was very small. Overall we had a very nice stay and the price was great. We would stay here again if we have the chance to return to Avignon.

8.4

Central location and very helpful English speaking staff. I didn't see any Internet facilities but they had a breakfast included (in dining room). I'd definitely recommend this hotel.

9.6

Excellent stay. Proprietors are absolutely top-notch and welcoming. Location was great -- just a short stroll to the Papal palace and Place d'Horloge. Rooms were well kept, albeit a bit small, as expected for this class of hotel inside the walls.

8.0

Cute rooms, very tiny/cramped bathroom but a great place to stay overall!

9.5

Hotel Mignon is a very quaint little hotel. It was perfect for our week long stay in Avignon because of the position and the price and especially the welcome and care provided by the managers. I very much enjoyed my stay there and would recommend it to anyone who wants comfort and a welcoming atmosphere at a good price.

9.4

Most helpful friendly and welcoming staff. Good location. Our room was very quiet. Warming the breadfast croissants and more coffee would be nice.

5.1

The hotel was quite conveniently located near to the train station but the room itself is just average.

9.5

A very small but very nice decorated room, big window, very quiet. "Monsieur" was extremeley friendly and helpful. Breakfast as announced "continental", but you can get as much coffee, baguette etc. as you like. The Hotel is located only a few steps from the Pope's Palace. When again in Avignon we'll stay again at "Mignon"! Highly recommendable.

9.6

good value and friendly

3.2

We found the room provided totally inadequate and unacceptable and in fact left after the first night (for which we paid a bill amounting to 120 Euros). The room was claustrophobic and overwhelming due to the decor, there was no view except onto building walls only feet from our window, and worst of all, was the bathroom which was minscule with a sliding door which swung outwards and would not close if someone used the toilet because of the angles of the toilet, basin and hand-held shower unit. We could not unpack our bags as the cupboard space provided was totally inadequate both for the actual opening and unpacking and for storage of garments. The room was probably adequate for a single young backpacker, but certainly not for a couple requiring any degree of privacy or comfort. We slept very little (although the bed itself was reasonably comfortable)and could not contemplate 5 nights in that room. We were told that all the rooms were the same, and if this is so, it certainly does not live up to the description of "chic"! We moved to Hotel Mercure (Cite des Papes)where we enjoyed a spacious balcony room overlooking the central square and close by the Papal Palace, which admittedly cost us more, but was infinitely better value.

8.7

The Hotel Mignon lives up to its name: a cute little hotel right in the heart of Avignon, only a few minutes' walk from the Place de l'Horloge and the Palais des Papes, and less than 15 minutes on foot from the Avignon Centre train station. Its main advantages are the location, the very friendly welcome, and the continental breakfast (fine coffee, good croissants, and better than average baguettes). Our room was small but not tiny; it had a tiny bathroom (toilet, sink, shower) and a small closet. The furniture and decor was clean but a little bit threadworn. The rue Joseph Vernet is busy during the day but quiet at night; our room was on the first floor, but the double-pane window muted most of the street noise. I would not recommend the Mignon to someone who intended to spend lots of time in the room, but as a base for for exploring the old city, it was great; it was easy to return to the hotel to drop off or pick up stuff or to relax a bit after sightseeing. The proprietor speaks English well, though we communicated mostly in French.

6.8

Bedroom and bathroom were incredibly clean. The room was rather small, but that is to be expected. The only complaint we had was that the maid service kept rearranging our things - on the sink in the bathroom, on our nightstand, on the table... for no apparent reason. We eventually starting keeping everything in our suitcases because we were unsure what was going on. Also, the door to the bathroom was paper thin and very difficult to open/close - not much privacy as a result. Also, the hairdryer was permanently affixed to the wall and was gross - sticky and smelled bad. Other than that, the hotel was what you expect to get for such an economical rate. I would consider staying here again.

7.8

The rooms are 'cute' as the name suggests, a little small, but perfect for a night or two in a great location with friendly owners. A warning, if you plan to watch French TV, the TV was mounted really high up on the wall, so be prepared to crane your neck.

8.9

Sehr familiäres und gemütliches Hotel in guter Lage. Sehr netter Service. Superguter Kaffee! Alle Sehenswürdigkeiten gut zu Fuß zu erreichen. 2 Parkhäuser in der Nähe, es gibt für Hotelgäste Sonderkonditionen fürs Parken, wenn man das Auto stehen lässt 24 Std./(7 Euro, ansonsten gute Parkmöglichkeit ausserhalb der Stadtmauer an der Porte de l'Oulle.

9.2

Piccolo ma delizioso, questo hotel ha pienamente soddisfatto le nostre aspettative ed ha sicuramente contribuito a rendere piacevole il nostro soggiorno ad Avignone. Ubicato in una delle più belle vie del centro storico, vi si respira un'atmosfera provenzale d'autrefois. Ci torneremo sicuramente.

9.9

A delightful hotel - small but lots of character. The rooms are very comfortable and full of clever ideas to make sure you have everything you need in the available space. The owner and his staff are charming. A wonderful location, especially for the congress centre and the Pope's Palace. Best of all, truly delicious breakfasts!

7.4

The very best to say about this property is location, location, location. Situated within the walls the location just doesn't get any better. To make the parking situation very easy Mignon is location very near a secured parking structure. In fact when you park there for E10.50 per day use the elevator and you exit onto the street above about 8 small storefronts down the street to Mignon's front door. It is very easy to schlep your luggage from the lot to the hotel or there is a small place to unload directly across the narrow street from the front door. The parking lot access is from outside the walls. The price includes a nice continental breakfast you may have in the breakfast room or they will deliver to your room. Rooms are small, the bathroon quite small but both very adequate. The rooms and hotel was clean.
