Our three-night stay in Aix followed a weeklong hiking tour in Provence. The hotel was recommended by the tour company, "The Wayfarers."
The building incorporates the remnants of a 15th-century convent, with some of the original structure still featured. The rooms are average, but comfortable.
Staff couldn't have been friendlier or more helpful, and the location is perfect: A few steps out the door au droite, and you're on the Cours Mirabeau. Just a few steps more å gauche, and you're headed into the heart of Old Town.
I noticed some of the other reviews commented on the showers. Ours was fine, but in the course of the Provence walk, we stayed in some fairly high-end places in Luberon. They all had large and lavish bathrooms and good-sized bathtubs, but positively weird shower arrangements—usually a flexible hose and shower head, and no curtain, requiring inventive contortions to keep the water under control.
One of the two guides on the walk, an Englishwoman who lives in France, said she doesn't think the French quite "get" showers. Something visitors might want to be prepared for. But it's a small price to pay to be in France.
