Hotel Des Artistes

We choosed this location as it was between Arles and Avignon where we wanted to soend a day in each city. Unfortunately Tarqscon is not really a city to stay compared to Arles and Avignon. Not many restarans, nothibg to do in the evenibg and the hotel on amain road with souroundind a bit dull

This is NOT a three star hotel - barely 1 star. We made the mistake of booking three nights based on what we read on Expedia and after arriving tried to cancel the two remaining days. They refused. We stayed one more night and then left and had to pay for another hotel. The hotel is very old and run down - not in an “artsy” way. It smells like wet dog, the walls had stains and rips, and the town is sketchy. Very disappointed that Expedia didn’t back me up to get at least one night refunded.

Very eclectic place, but were welcoming and friendly. We were in Tarascon for a wedding, and found this place just 5 minutes from the wedding venue. Our room had accees to a long shared balkony that had beeen divided into individual sections with lots of greenery. It was facing the street, but it is quiet at night, and during the day, I enjoy a bit of life around me. This part of town does seem to be predominantly muslim, with a lot of people congrgating at the local coffee shops throughout the weekend. Overall, the premises are a bit run down, but very charming nonetheless. THe people working there (from receptionist to cleaners) were very approachable, helpful, and accommodating. They do not seem to get a lot of foreign guests, but tried very hard to communicate as best they could, and we got to the goal every single time. If I found myself in that area again, I would not hesitate to stay at Hotel des Artistes!

This was a great, simple hotel for my short trip. The staff were flexible, allowing me to check in sooner to prepare for a wedding I was attending. It was located in a quaint and quiet neighborhood.

Great staff at a very friendly hotel
