Hôtel Médiéval

Hôtel Médiéval is a three-star hotel at 15 Rue Petite Saunerie in the old town of Avignon, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region of France. The street lies close to the Place de l'Horloge, the main square of the walled city, and the Palais des Papes is a short walk away through narrow lanes. The railway station at Avignon Centre is reachable on foot in around fifteen to twenty minutes, and most major sights, museums and restaurants sit within the pedestrian core. The hotel occupies a seventeenth-century building, and its defining feature is an inner courtyard that gives the property a calm, historic character typical of Avignon's townhouses. Rooms are offered as Double Rooms, Twin Rooms and Triple Rooms, which makes the hotel suitable for couples, friends and small families. Air conditioning and wifi are provided, and breakfast is available. Typical rates are about EUR 70 to EUR 130 per night, with higher prices during the July Festival d'Avignon, when the old town fills with visitors. There is no spa, pool or large restaurant, so guests generally eat at the many bistros around the Place de l'Horloge, the Rue des Teinturiers and the covered market of Les Halles, which is known for Provençal produce. Service follows the model of a small independent hotel, with a reception able to advise on opening hours, tickets and regional excursions. Because the building is historic and set among narrow streets, access by car is awkward and visitors usually leave vehicles in a public car park outside or beside the ramparts. The courtyard is a pleasant place for breakfast on warm mornings.
