Our take
I would choose Hôtel Le Médiéval for its building and its address: a 17th-century former cardinal's palace five minutes on foot from the Popes' Palace, surrounded by shops and restaurants. The floral patio with its fountain is the heart of the place, rooms are air-conditioned, some with a bathtub, and breakfast is a buffet. Free WiFi completes the practical side. An 8.3 from more than 1,300 reviews describes a characterful three-star.
- ✓Take advantage of the central location to walk to the Popes' Palace and explore the surrounding historic streets.
- ✓Enjoy breakfast at the hotel to fuel up before a day of sightseeing; it's a convenient start.
- ✓Spend some time relaxing in the floral patio with its fountain, a peaceful escape from the city bustle.

Why guests love itHôtel Le Médiéval occupies a 17th-century former cardinal's palace in the centre of Avignon, a five-minute walk from the Popes' Palace, and I recommend it to families who want to explore the old town on foot. Rooms are air-conditioned, which matters in a Provençal summer, and some have a bathtub, useful with young children. WiFi is free, a buffet breakfast is served each morning, and the floral patio with its fountain is a calm spot to regroup.
