What guests think

At Hotel Spa Le Calendal, travelers praise the unbeatable central location by the Roman arena, friendly, helpful staff, relaxing spa and rooftop bar, pleasant garden spaces, and generally good, varied breakfasts that start days well.

Rooms are comfortable with some offering standout arena views or quiet courtyards, though a few feel small or basic and in-room beverage facilities are not standard. Facilities draw compliments—especially the spa with its view—but the spa is small and can book up, the hotel lacks an elevator, and car access requires using a nearby garage and walking. Overall, expect a charming, centrally located base with warm service and simple comforts.

Had a fantastic stay. The hotel staff was always very helpful. They did a load of laundry for us the same afternoon that we checked-in since we had to leave in the morning. They offered discounted parking at the Parking du Centre garage, a short walk to the hotel. The hotel location is about as good as it gets, the rooms were clean, the garden area was beautiful and a nice escape from the August heat. Our room's shutters and air conditioning functioned well to cool the room. The view of the amphitheater from our room was amazing.

Great location- steps from the attractions. The staff were very helpful- even though there was no elevator, they carried our bags up the steps to our room. After a day of site seeing, the jacuzzi pool in the spa was lovely- and overlooks the forum. Arles does not have many taxis, so call the hotel to arrange if you are unable to walk from the station.

Had a wonderful stay. The spa was fantastic Great location Staff was friendly and Yasmina was particularly helpful Two recommendations: They need more staff on the rooftop terrace at Sunset on the weekends. The one woman was overwhelmed and couldn’t keep up with the drink orders and bar maintenance. It would have been nice to have hair conditioner in the spa. In Nespresso machine in the bedroom would also have been nice But I don’t think this is a custom in French hotels.

This is a very lovely hotel that is really close to the center of town. The garden is very relaxing and they have a spa to spend some time in. The spa has a view of the arena, which is a bonus! Make sure to book a time for the spa since it is small and they limit the number of guests. There is a bar on the roof with views of the city and when there is a concert at the theater you can catch a few songs before they close the bar done at 10pm.

Perfect location between Roman amphitheater and theatre. Lovely bar to watch the sunset over these antiquities. the spa is a bit of a disappointment except for the view out to the amphitheater. The staff was a bit brusque but they may have been overwhelmed in tourist season.

We absolutely loved this hotel. We had a spacious and charming room with a view of the arena. All the staff were welcoming and helpful. The location could not have been better for touring Arles. Excellent restaurants a few steps away. Check, check, check! If you do stay here, park in the central garage near the hotel for a reasonable daily fee through the hotel - in and out privledges, plenty of spots, and a short walk through the park to the hotel. Be warned, however, there is no elevator at the hotel so, if you can't do stairs, let the hotel know.

스파도 1시간 무료로 사용 가능 (성인만), 그리고 경기장 바로 앞이라 발코니가 있는 방에서 아름다운 경관을 보았네요. 도보로 왠만한 곳은 다 이동이 가능해서 매우 쾌적했습니다. 다만 차량으로 여행하시는 분들은 미리 google map 주소를 받아서 오셔야합니다. 그냥 구글맵으로 찍고 가면 도로가 차단이 되어있어서 별도의 입구로 가서 호텔에 전화를 하면 차단봉이 내려가서 입장이 가능합니다. 근처 유료주차장을 12유로에 사용 가능하며 도보로 5분정도 거리정도 되고 쾌적했습니다.

Location

Outstanding central location beside the arena and theater makes sightseeing and dining on foot easy, with many rooms offering views. Driving access is restricted; guests typically use a partner garage and walk a short, sometimes hilly, distance with luggage.

We loved the location of the hotel and the staff members were welcoming and helpful. The rooftop bar was lovely at sunset. (Try the locally-made gin, Bigourdan, in a G&T…really unique flavor!) No on-site parking so, if you arrive by car, plan ahead and consolidate to a small bag to make the 7 minute walk from the parking garage to the hotel. Otherwise be prepared to pull your bags up the stairs and gentle slope of the streets to the hotel.

Great location adjacent to the arena. Short walk to many restaurants. I would suggest front desk staff could be a little more helpful about driving to the hotel, and what they mean by “drive until you come to a pole.” (It’s not a poke beside the road, it is a retractable pole that blocks the road.)

Really lovely place with beautiful views of roman monuments. The only complication is that you cannot drive to the hotel as it is in the historic center - however follow the instructions you get in their email upon reservation - just for the drop off and pickup of luggage the very helpful hotel staff makes that possible! They also offer a great deal on city parking!
