Good base for a few days of exploration
Posted 8 Oct 2023 on HotelsIdeal location to discover Arles, La Camargue, Saint Remy, Des Alpilles as well as many other famous and beautiful locations. Only 45 mins from Marseille airport. Hotel based on an industrial estate so don't expect stunning views.

Beautiful gardens but moquitos gave us hard time
Posted 20 Aug 2017 on HotelsBeautiful well tended gardens with trees all bearing an amazing range of fruits including figs, almonds, (both just ripe!) plus olives and pears (not quite ready). Friendly very helpful English-speaking staff, great value for money laundry service which was back within 18 hours. Large private well furnished patio areas, and the hotel itself was very quiet and peaceful although there was a lot of noise and traffic with the adjoining Intermarché supermarket although this was really useful to have plus also a Lidl just 200 metres walk away. Mosquitos gave us a pasting though & were difficult to keep out of the rooms; not surprisingly Intermarché & Lidl both offered a good range of repellants and sprays - suggest you go well armed and prepared! Apartment lacked a few things such as scissors, chopping/bread board (the ones there were old and badly stained), bread knife, toaster, and small frying pan. Good location for easy access to Arles, Salon de Provence, Martigues etc. Not much choice for eating out in the town, and the most popular place Chez Marco were curt and off with us when we turned up off-chance and had not booked so book if you want to eat there. Watch out for Pizza Mania takeaway opposite as were were short changed 10 Euros and when challenged the following day were they rude and offensive; pizzas were horrid there anyway, and there are several other better pizza takeaways around the town. Hoi-An and Dok Boua both offer great oriental food and A1 sushi.

Comfortable base of operations for Provence
Posted 17 Jun 2017 on HotelsStandard apartment was light, bright, and comfortable, with lovely outdoor space. It was also quiet and safe. Excellent value. Proprietors were charming and very helpful. Local town had several nice restaurants, but the real plus was a central location for touring Provence, with a location nearby a major highway. Only two minuses - one, the bed was small. Also, the washer/dryer on site took an incredibly long amount of time. Starting at 10 am, by 5 pm we gave up and hung up laundry to finish drying on the line (part of this time was waiting for one other load ahead of us), kind of ruining the day.

Comfortable accommodation.
Posted 5 Aug 2016
Pros: It has everything you need for a comfortable stay.
Cons: Swimming pool is good but is only just above waste high.
Location: Visits to Avignon, Arles, Cassis and Gordes are much recommended.
The hotel is located in an area which is predominantly business oriented with industrial units, garage and supermarkets around. However, once entering into the complex it is welcoming, comfortable with rooms appointed to a good, well conceived standard. WiFi speed is excellent throughout the complex.

Limited choices in St Martin de Crau
Posted 14 Jun 2015
Pros: Wifi was available, but slow
Cons: The breakfast. After waiting my turn at the automated coffee machine, I find out the coffee was thinned down with roasted buckwheat. Real coffee?
Location: Great shopping if you like to go to Intermarche, Liedl, or SuperU
The owners speak French only and we were lucky another guest was able to translate when we arrived. The hotel gate is closed at 10 pm and you need to punch in a 5 digit code in order to enter after hours. The bedrooms are next to the entrance and face the path everyone has to take to get to the public areas. A spare bed was steroids the bedroom closet, using up all the space. The living room looks out on a few oleander bushes, behind which there is a noisy highway. the windows open but there is no door, but there are no screens to prevent bugs from getting in. The room service is very limited. If you use a glass or a cup it will not be cleaned by the room service unless you are willing to pay Euro 18 extra. There was wifi in the room, the connection was slow.

Very nice hotel with convenient amenities
Posted 27 May 2015
Pros: Kitchenette, free and fast wi-fi, free parking, very reasonably priced laundry service.
Cons: Room-darkening shades or blinds in the bedroom.
Location: There is a grocery store very close by to stock up your kitchen. Location is convenient for trips into Arles and Pont Du Gard.
This is a family-owned establishment. The owner checked us in and we could see him out doing maintenance throughout our stay. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The room was very clean. The shower is a bit small but we didn't mind it. The kitchenette was very convenient because my husband was sick for this part of our trip so it was really nice to be able to come back and unwind with a quick and easy dinner that we either picked up on the way and brought back with us or cooked in the kitchen from ingredients purchased at the grocery store. The grocery store is right next to the hotel so it's very easy to pick up anything you need for cooking. The internet was fast and reliable. The laundry service was very fairly priced - it cost us the same to have the staff wash our laundry for us at this hotel as it cost for us to do it ourselves at another hotel that we had stayed at on the same trip. I would definitely stay here again. My one complaint is that the curtains in the bedroom were sheer so the room did not get completely dark at night which made it a little difficult for me to fall asleep and also did not provide much privacy. The location is very convenient for exploring the area. Arles is a short drive away and Pont Du Gard is also within an easy drive.

Great stay
Posted 18 Aug 2014 on HotelsWe've been staying in this hotel for 7 nights. The service was good, rooms just what we expected with nice patio. Our son loved the swimming pool, not big but after long day was nice to relax. Close to Lidl and another market so you can have a breakfast without an extra cost. Location is great if you want to explore Provance. We would highly recommended and go back there.

Great hotel!!
Posted 17 Aug 2014 on HotelsWe loved our stay at the Hotel de la Transhumance. The rooms were very spacious and comfortable, and it was so nice to be able to cook our own meals, especially with at least three grocery stores close by (two within walking distance). This hotel only works is you have a car, but if you do, it's a great home base for exploring Provence. We took day trips to Nimes, Les Baux, Pont du Gard, and St. Remy, and we enjoyed the pool on a warm evening. The staff was friendly and helpful. We were sad to have to leave!
