The hotel itself is interesting - it looks impressively old and in a way charming (narrow wooden staircase - no lift, getting up to the second floor with suitcases is not easy). The staff were pleasant and helpful. The room itself was terrible. Brought a new standard to small - "prison-cell size" would be apt. A small single bed, a... more

You can not beat the location. The room was air conditioned and the bathroom new, they have wifi and the staff are very helpful and friendly. Aix is worth the effort just remember that pretty much all streets are one way so be prepared for a driving adventure. Dinner on the cours maribou - steak and wine, warm evening, watching... more

The hotel is excellently situated five minutes from the Cours Mirabeau. The room I stayed in was pleasant - quite small but fine for what we wanted - and had a lovely new bathroom with a great power shower. The hotel itself was *quite* noisy at night, but only in terms of people walking up and down the stairs and... more

Hotel des Quatre Dauphins is a good budget choice for Aix. It is ideally situated in the Quatier Mazarin, truly the nicest part of Aix. It is on a beautiful 17th c. street that is fairly quiet. The hotel itself is an old structure without the best soundproofing. Our room was tiny, barely containg a bed, two end tables and... more

This small, family-run hotel is a gem in Aix-En-Provence. The proprietors are very helpful and gracious in helping even the most timid traveler feel at home, and the rooms are very comfortable, with lovely Provençal color schemes, comfortable beds, and modern, en-suite bathrooms. The price is right, too, and the location is convenient, yet quiet. If traveling in Aix, it's... more

I feel that I need to stick up for Aix-en-Provence as it seems to have been suffering a few attacks. I have studied and lived in Aix-en-Provence and it is a bourgeois/student town. However, it has so much to offer if you venture away from the generalised/under-researched guide books. The problem is that many guides describe Aix as if they... more

Been staying here for several years & although the staf are great, the quality of the rooms is dropping. Desperately needs some painting & fixing. more

My wife and I stayed in the Quatre Dauphins for three nights in June 2007. We also had the chance to compare it to another hotel - The Cardinal just a few streets around the corner. I think, some the American reviews are a bit unfair. Of course, the rooms are small and there's no elevator. Hey, it's a 18th... more

Asked for a quote for a room with a bidet and shower. They came back with a quote for 79.60 euros all taxes and service, no breakfast. I confirmed with a credit card. They came back with a message saying it replaced the previous email and that they were confirming a room for 9 days at 86.60 euros and that... more
