财产 — Auberge des Plaines
Auberge des Plaines is a straightforward, unfussy three-star on the outskirts of Arles. The lobby is clean, tiled and quiet, with a small reception desk, a few armchairs and a noticeboard advertising local bull-running dates. It suits independent travellers who want a decent bed, free parking and easy ring-road access rather than Provençal charm or a pool.
Arles编年史
Arles was founded by the Greeks as Arelate and became a major Roman port under Augustus, with its arena and theatre still used for shows today. By the 4th century it was a key Christian centre, hosting church councils, and later a strategic medieval bridgehead. The city’s architectural mix comes from Roman stone, Romanesque cloisters and Renaissance hôtels particuliers. Since Van Gogh painted here in 1888–89, Arles has traded on its artistic heritage, now hosting the annual Rencontres photography festival.

Your Perfect Room
✨ AI-generated · Jul 2026Before you check in to Auberge des Plaines, here's what to know about choosing the right room.
Best rooms to request
Request a room on the first floor or higher, facing the inner courtyard rather than the street. The inner courtyard rooms are noticeably quieter and often have a small terrace or seating area, which is a real bonus for a 3-star hotel in the city centre. Upper floors are brighter and catch the morning light if you prefer an early start to explore Arles.
Rooms to avoid
Avoid ground-floor rooms at all costs. They can be dark, stuffy, and prone to noise from the reception area and guests coming and going. Any room marked as 'street side' should also be avoided – the Rue de l'Hôtel de Ville and surrounding streets have lively bars, restaurants and foot traffic until late, and the single-glazed windows (common in older buildings here) won't block the chatter or the garbage collection at dawn.
Best views
Ask for a room overlooking the inner courtyard. You’ll get a peaceful view of potted plants, possibly a small fountain or olive tree, and the ochre tones of the old building. The street view is just other facades and the occasional glimpse of the Saint-Trophime cloisters – fine for a quick look, but not worth the noise trade-off.
Quietest floors
First and second floors are the quietest – far enough from the street noise below, but not so high that you hear the roof vents or lift machinery. The building has no lift, so these floors also mean a manageable climb with luggage.
🔊 Noise notes
Arles is compact and this hotel sits on a pedestrianised or semi-pedestrianised street in the old town. Expect church bells nearby (the Saint-Trophime belfry chimes every quarter hour, and at full volume on the hour, even through the night – locals are used to it, but if you're a light sleeper, earplugs help). The street noise is from bars spilling onto the pavement until midnight in summer, and delivery trucks squeezing into the service alley behind the hotel around 6am.
Insider tips
Parking: The hotel has no private parking, but the public car park 'Parking des Lices' (Avenue des Lices) is about a 5-minute walk. It costs around €12 for 24 hours, but in summer you can reserve a spot online a day ahead – street parking is a nightmare and often for residents only. Request a room with a fan in summer. The building is old, thick-walled and doesn't always have air-conditioning in every room – a fan makes a huge difference in July and August, and the hotel will happily put one in if you ask at booking.
- Call the hotel directly 24–48 hours before arrival and ask for a specific room type
- Add a note in your booking comments field
- Ask at check-in — front desk staff can often accommodate if a room is available
