Best Western Hôtel Gallia is a budget hotel at 21 Rue Agrippa d'Aubigné in Avignon, Vaucluse, in the Provence-Alpes-Côte d'Azur region. The hotel occupies a building within the walled city of Avignon, close to the Gare d'Avignon Centre and within comfortable walking distance of the principal historic sites, including the Palais des Papes and the Pont d'Avignon. As part of the Best Western network, the property adheres to international chain standards for cleanliness and service quality while offering rates well below the luxury and upper mid-range properties concentrated around the Place du Palais.
The location is particularly practical for rail travellers, as Avignon Centre station on the mainline Marseille–Lyon rail corridor is approximately five minutes on foot, enabling easy day trips to Marseille, Nîmes, and Orange. The TGV station at Avignon TGV, serving Paris and international connections, is 5 kilometres south-east of the city centre and accessible by the free Navette TGV shuttle bus.
The hotel offers WiFi throughout, air conditioning in all rooms, and a continental-style breakfast service. Rooms are available in Standard, Twin, and Double configurations, providing straightforward accommodation suited to travellers who expect to spend most of their time exploring Avignon's UNESCO-listed historic centre.
Avignon's principal attractions lie within a 10–20-minute walk: the Palais des Papes and its square, the Musée du Petit Palais, the Rocher des Doms park, and the Pont Saint-Bénézet. The old town restaurant district, concentrated on the Rue des Teinturiers and around the Place de l'Horloge, is a 15-minute walk.
The property represents the most value-conscious hotel option within the walled city, starting from approximately €69 per night, making it accessible to budget travellers and independent visitors who prefer a hotel to hostel-style accommodation.
