Premiere Classe Arles

I stayed here for 2 nights in June. The room was stiflingly hot when I arrived, and although there was an air conditioning unit in the room, it was completely useless even when the thermostat was set to the lowest temperature and the fan set at the highest speed. The settings had been removed from the air conditioning unit itself, presumably to save on energy bills from people wanting a comfortable temperature in the room on summer nights. So I ended up having to open the window all the way and prop the door open for hours just to allow some cooler evening air in, to give me a chance of getting to sleep. In addition to the air conditioning not working, the vending machine also was out of order. In order to access the WiFi, I had to go to reception to have the receptionist validate my credentials on my phone. This is my first time ever having to do this at a hotel. Positives are that it is low cost and has flexible cancellation. Just as well, as I was booked in to stay at another Première Classe on my next stop, which I decided to cancel.

Below the basic

Comfortable bed, bathroom too small

All was OK for the price. The room was not cleaned, prepared for new occupants. We walked into the room and the bed was not made, had been slept in. Had to wait after checkin till the room was cleaned and new/clean bed linens were put on the bed. Guess they check us in to early ; but it was after checkin time.

I booked a room. It was perhaps not really cozy, but clean and comfortable. As I was backpacking, th hotel was quite far away from the city center of Arles, but there were busses. And I also walked a lot.
