Golden Tulip Avignon Le Paradou - Avignon

julians696

I'm a pilot and I landed at Avignon Airport in the evening, with a departure the following morning, so I needed to be close to the airport - and this hotel really IS close to the airport. Literally a few minutes walk across the road.||The proximity to / convenience for the airport is about the extent of the good stuff though.||My room was large, but didn't feel as clean as I would have liked - it also had a peculiar smell (something akin to a sweaty builder) which did thankfully fade slightly after a period with the patio door open.||Breakfast was 'adequate'.||If you want to be right next to the airport, then I guess this place isn't terrible. If that's not important, I've stayed at other places closer to the town center for the same money, which are nicer.

Very nice stay, it was very clean and the pool was lovely we had a nice meal in the restaurant and then went to sleep in a cozy bed lovely and spacious. The pool was cold but we all enjoyed it as it was very refreshing after a long journey in the car. The staff were very pleasant and polite. The room had good A/C and you can’t hear the airport at all. Great location as you are just off the motorway. Very quiet however it is very remote. merci beaucoup pour ces belles vacances en famille.

We stayed for 6 nights – half-board, as part of a 3 week tour of France.|*** THE FOOD *** Our evening meals were delicious. It was clear the chef prepared the food with good quality ingredients, each of the 3 courses was presented beautifully.|*** THE ROOM *** Our room was a Deluxe Queen Room – in one of the separate single storey annexes. The bed was a huge 2 metre square and very comfortable. The room style was “modern business” – with fitted desk and dressing table. The bathroom was a good size, with bath and shower over - good pressure and lots of hot water; large wash-basin and WC. TV had a selection of French channels. There was adequate hanging and storage space. A large keycode safe was provided (free of charge). Air-con was quiet and very effective. The room was serviced well daily.|*** THE STAFF *** We found all the staff (front desk, restaurant) to be very friendly and helpful, and interested in chatting with us. They are a tremendous asset to the hotel.|*** THE LOCATION *** Very convenient for Avignon, and the the wider Provence area.||The exterior will benefit from some TLC – which I’m sure will happen in time.

Lady on the counter was brilliant. The rooms however are stuck in the 70’s. Yes the 70s. Clean but soooo dated. The furniture would be out of place in a junkyard sale. And the bathroom felt like I was in an old folks home. Just a place to put your head down for the night. The price is very high for that.

Should be a third cheaper. Breakfast is ok. Staff again are great. I stayed for 1 night. Need to stay longer but got out of there and found somewhere else.

For the price this is a decent hotel. Our room was plain and lacked a fridge, but it wasn't overlooked and we could sit outside relax.
I thought the breakfast was very good too, with a wide variety of choice.
Very pretty part of France and l will definitely consider this hotel when l next come to this area!

The restaurant food was very good, breakfast was very scimpy, or they just didn't have enough for their guests, the pancakes were yummy. The rooms were decent sized, they were mostly clean, there were lots of spiders in our room and my husband was bitten more than once. They interior is very outdated. The pictures do not match the rooms, or at least the one we were in. My first impression walking to our room was yuck, the carpet in the hallway was coming up and it looked very dingy. All in all it was a great price for half pension, wished the restaurant would have been open for dinner, we had to go to the neighboring restaurant for two meal, which was just sustenance, mediocre food. there was one gal that worked there, I think Maurine, she was Amazing, her customer service was excellent! Why I give 3 stars. I would have taken more pictures, but didn't thing I should. One more thing I liked was that it was gated and they locked it every night.

We stayed here for 3 nights in out organized tour. The hotel is ok, it has a pool that if you don't plan to visit Avignon it gives you something to do. The hotel means 3 different buildings and when you arrive it is a bit confusing to find your room. The room is big, at groundfloor with big window. A bit noise from the airport. I found some bugs in my room.||Restaurant has a limited offer and was taking orderr in summer up to 8:30 pm. ||If you plan to visit the city probably tyhe taxi is the only option and will cost you as it is far away. ||It was the most disapointing hotel from all our tour.

Conveniently located by the airport. Hotel is clean, unassuming and quiet. Rooms were spacious, functional and we managed a comfortable nights sleep. The restaurant was a weak spot of the stay however. I struggled to be able read the menu, usually I don't have any problems translating French menus. The food was fine, without being anything stand out. I have had better meals with Best Western in France, so this was a little disappointing. We asked for table water which did not arrive. The restaurant staff did not know we had paid for dining that night and had not reserved us a table. A minor issue quickly resolved, but niggled as expecting better organisation. Overall suited our needs and we will be back.
