We stayed on March 30th and March 31st of 2013. No-one was around when we drove up around 3pm so we explored Arles and then returned around 6pm. Richard checked us in and was very nice. We had booked a 2 porthole room and found it to be bigger than we expected for a room on a boat. The room... More

The room was very... More

We stayed in the much-discussed room #6 (the cheaper room with one, rather than two portholes) and did not experience any noise from the stairs above the room. Luxuriously appointed with wide-plank wood floors and plush bedding, the room was very small, but comfortable. The bathroom was spic-n-span clean, the wireless internet worked flawlessly, and the surroundings were serene, quiet,... More
