What guests think

At Grand Hôtel Roi René Aix - MGallery Collection, travelers highlight a central, walkable location and especially warm, helpful staff, describing a generally comfortable stay that feels well run and convenient for exploring Aix-en-Provence and nearby transport links.

Breakfast consistently earns strong praise for variety and quality, while dinner service receives occasional complaints about slow or curt waitstaff. Guests appreciate the pool and on-site conveniences, but some mention a compact pool area, unheated water at times, renovation or construction disruptions, and the need to reserve parking in advance. Overall, expect a city hotel experience with a few trade‑offs around room updates and facility quirks.

Facilities

The pool is a popular feature, though some found the area compact, the water not heated at times, or the style below expectations; recent works and occasional construction were noted. Parking is convenient but often requires advance reservation, and Wi‑Fi/TV and the small gym drew some complaints.

Great Location and easy private parking. Rooms very nice but bathrooms need updating to walking in showers. Pool area very small and not enough brolly’s for shade. Backs on to a scruffy building which initially looks like part of the hotel but not. Expensive for what you get.

I liked the hotel. The staff was friendly and helpful. No early check in however and i expected more of the gym from a hotel of this caliber. No English TV channels considering much of the cliental appears to be english speaking.

First, the positives. Great location, very clean and well appointed with L'Occitaine toiletries and coffee, etc. Very comfortable bed and room and we had a nice balcony overlooking the pool. The negatives: They have no USB ports in the room to charge your phone, I called the front desk, they said they'd already given all of the chargers out to other guests so I'd have to "go buy one myself" which was disappointing. Had they mentioned no USB ports on their website, I would have brought my own charger! They were doing some kind of construction so there was drilling going on starting at 9am. The website says the pool is heated but it was most definitely not. We had to ask to have our room cleaned at 3:45 in the afternoon and the night before we left, the door handle to the shower room came off in my hand. Overall, not a horrible experience, but it certainly not the 4 star experience we were hoping for.

Beautiful place -- nice room -- comfortable and nicely furnished. Note that most of the hotels we stay in at home include a microwave as well as a fridge. Another note is that the carpet in the room was starting to show some wear -- not bad but needs attention soon. These things wouldn't even be mentioned if the room was 200 euro a night but it was more than twice that rate. I still highly recommend the Grand Hotel. Fantastic breakfast, great staff and a beautiful place.

There was little room for suitcases. We used a bench under the desk area and the other was put on the floor. The closet was too small for suitcases. I had to pick up a dead bee under the window. The reading light on one side of the bed didn't work. The carpet was stained. Yes, we let them know. We stayed 3 nights and for $900 the room was cramped and uninspired. I got a text saying if we pre-check in we could get our key at noon upon arrival. When trying to take advantage of this the site didn't work. We ended up waiting almost 4 hours for our room. Others waiting for their room were sought out to let them know their room was ready. We asked for the same since we were also in the lobby but know one notified us. We had to go up every hour or so and check. Someone used our room number to pay for their breakfast. Checking out in the middle of the night to catch our flight we had to sort of that out, too. We were not offered the little treat (something Aix is known for) but were offered it when we left after seeing them behind the front desk. The nighttime receptionist said he was surprised we weren't offered them when we arrived. It's the little things. We've been to Europe many times and usually just go with the flow but this hotel was just off in so many ways. Small rooms are common in Europe but this was pretty cramped for 2 people. The shower was nice. The beds pretty comfortable.

In our case, my wife and I thought the staff was excellent, the property was very nice, the hotel was very close to the train station, downtown, parks, and cinema. Although my wife and I are multilingual, French is not a language either of us speak, but the staff was accommodating when we tried some simple phrases. In total, it is a hotel I would recommend to someone visiting the area.
