"My wife and I had a wonderful stay at Hotel de Cambis, conveniently located near the Avignon Central station. The hotel was also very close to shopping, restaurants and about a 5-10 minute walk from the main beautiful square. We received an upgrade when we arrived and were grateful to the staff and hotel. They were very accommodating, spoke great English and offered good tips/recommendations for the town. We stayed here for a nearby wedding and our room was very spacious and offered nice closets and an excellent bathroom. The whole room was very clean and we had a nice view of the nearby church and main street. We did not opt in for the breakfast but the breakfast room was very cute and smelled amazing as we passed by each morning. We would definitely stay here again if we come back!"

Most of the staff were friendly and helpful, whilst others let the team down (e.g. not clearing tables to make space at breakfast) The hotel would benefit from having a bar and the QR code system for ordering drinks is slow - we waited 45 minutes for a drink by the pool."
