Accommodation: Avignon

Booking.com

This is a selective guide to the best hotels and B&Bs (chambres d'hôtes) in Avignon.

Apart from the reviews of specific accommodation, below, click here to read a general survey of where to stay in the city.

All of them have been visited personally, not written up from press releases or the hotel websites.

We've had a jolly good look round them on our "inspections" and stayed in some of them ourselves.

But remember: hotels can change hands, be totally refurbished, go to rack and ruin or even close down altogether.

For this reason we have noted at the bottom of each review the date(s) when we visited.

You can book some (though not all) of them through a link to one of our affiliate partners, such as booking.com, who offer a wide range of hotel and hostel rooms, gîtes and villas and apartments.

By making a reservation through them you can often get a good bargain while helping us cover the running costs of the website.
