Kyriad Prestige Aix En Provence, Aix En Provence

Excellent breakfast, beautiful pool, comfortable...

Liked: Fabulous hotel on the outskirts of the city. Spacious and comfortable room & bed, excellent and varied breakfast, beautiful pool and lovely communal areas - bar, lounges etc.

Superb

Probably better suited to short...

Liked: Staff very helpful and spoke excellent English (the French I did know is now very out of practice). Very easy access out of town.
Disliked: Some room facilities were strange and it seemed like it was only designed for 1/2 night stays. Nowhere to store clothes other than 6 hangers (no drawers or shelves). Paper cups instead of real cups (which obviously fall apart quickly). I reported an issue with a lamp, was told maintenance would fix it while we were out, the only sign of this was the table it was on was moved (it remained unfixed for our visit) there was no lighting in the room beyond lamps & the lighting in the entrance / wardrobe. We didn't try the restaurant.

Good location near highway, not...

Liked: The hotel is modern and the rooms are comfortable and clean. The location is close to the highway, but far from the city center. If you don’t want to use the car to go to the downtown, you are isolated and you have to stay at hotel. The restaurant is good valide for money, although the menu is limited. Restaurant staff is friendly.
Disliked: The toilet flush was not working well.The receptionist told us in advance that at night restaurant was fully booked and encouraged us to go out to find a place to eat. At night, with surprise, we found out that restaurant was empty and 90% available. Little bit strange!

Nice hotel but expensive for...

Liked: The hotel was very modern and clean and the outside area was nice
Disliked: The gym was very small. We were told the pool got the sun all day but when we went out in the afternoon, it was all in shade. 'Free mini bar' consisted of water only. Just felt very expensive for what you actually got, breakfast was 21 euros per person and had to pay extra for parking too!
