This was a very nice boutique hotel in a great location. Front desk staff friendly and helpful. The complimentary detox water upon arrival was a nice addition. Rooms were spacious, nicely decorated. The wardrobe door made a screeching sound when opened and beds seemed short. Overall would recommend!

Great location, within walking distance to the old town center. Room was very clean, recently renovated, and bathroom was spacious. The rooftop is a great place to relax and watch the sunset. Staff is super friendly and knowledgeable of the area. The breakfast was very good and included in the room rate. Elevator is great when carrying heavy luggage.

Modern on a tree-lined walkable old street
Great location, wonderful staff, completely new furnishings both in the rooms and the public area. Loved the generous breakfast buffet. Fabulous location on the edge of the old city on a tree-lined street. Shops, restaurants, even laundromats practically at the doorstep. For an extended stay, the only drawback was lack of a refridgerator in the room.

The Hotel du Globe is conveniently located and relatively inexpensive but this comes at the price of a few sacrifices - no safe in the room and a relatively basic breakfast. The roof terrace is a plus. They do not have an alcohol license but you can buy outside and take drinks up. The staff are very friendly and helpful. This is a great base for wandering around Aix, which has a lot to offer.

Great stay in downtown Aix!
We spent 3 great nights at the Globe. The room was spacious and clean, good bed. We haven't tasted the breakfast. Very well located in the old town, you can walk everywhere. We had to pay 17 EUR per day to keep our car parked in secured parking nearby. We were surprised we had to pay for tea or coffee given that we had none in our room (usually 3 stars hotels provide this) and were not advised this was not free when we ordered them at the reception. Also: make sure to let them know you want your room to be cleaned every day - we were surprised they hadn't cleaned ours on day 2 "because of Covid". Apart from that, the whole staff was very friendly and we will not hesitate to come back! The rooftop is a nice addition.

Hotel du Globe was a great first stop upon arriving in France. The 2 twin-bed rooms for my group of 4 were exactly as described. The hotel is in a good location for waling to city center and many cafes and shopping. The staff could not have been friendlier or more responsive to our requests. The rooms were spotlessly clean with nicely updated bathrooms. This is not a luxury hotel, but has good amenities including optional on-site breakfast. I would stay there again should I be in Aix-en-Provence.

The reception/check in staff are wonderful! They asked how long we had to sight see and then drew a map of the sites to see! Both ladies were so helpful! Breakfast buffet was ok but is not included in price of room. It is convenient if you have to leave early and don’t have time to go out. The room was very modern and clean. We had a tiny balcony with a view. We would stay here again!

Really quality hotel for the price. Rooms are small, quiet, and clean, and the breakfast is reasonable. Free coffee/tea throughout the day as well. It was so convenient to be able to park at the hotel garage, especially considering the lack of parking in Aix-en-Provence in general. 15 Euro per night to park. The rooftop terrace was lovely! We ate up there every night. Although, it would be nice to have some lighting up there in the evening.

Great location, - in easy walking distance to shops, cafes, restaurants, sights, bus station, train station, tourist information, etc. - yet very quiet and peaceful neighborhood - even close to laundromat for those who need to wash clothes. Good in-out parking access. for people with cars. Friendly, attentive staff. Very clean and modern rooms. Lovely roof terrace for relaxation. No frills, just good overall value for a comfortable stay in Aix.

Lovely hotel close to old town.
The hotel was very good, very close to the old city. Room is big and comfortable. Staff were pleasant and some-one was on duty 24/7 - amazing. The terrace on the top floor of the hotel was an added bonus. Only quibble booked this hotel as it had parking, when we arrived found all spaces were taken and we had to park in a public car park, which was more expensive.

Very convenient to the Aix central core, this is a very clean, modern small hotel. We really liked the staff, the breakfast was good, the room was clean and modern, and there is a great roof top area to hang out or check out the views of the area. I would stay here again if I am lucky enough to get back to Aix, which is an amazing city.

Not As Described & Not As Pictured
The one positive feature of Hotel du Globe is it’s convenient location to old town Aix-en-Provence. The most negative was that the AC never worked properly - it blew warm air. Because of the room temperature it was uncomfortable to spend time in the room and uncomfortable to sleep. Secondly, our room was not cleaned until I insisted on it with the owner on our 3rd day. Thirdly, there is one key per room which has to be left at the front desk when you’re not at the hotel. It’s very inconvenient when you’re sharing the room and have different comings and goings, along with having to wait at the desk until the person is free to get your key. Upon checkout we were given a daily discount, which was much appreciated - I assumed it was for lack of service and lack of AC.... the following day I was dumbfounded to receive an email from them stating that they had made an error giving me the discount, and proceeded to re-charge my credit card without my knowledge or approval. This was unethical to say the least. Lastly, the rooftop pictured is a far cry from the shabby, moldy space that it actually is. Don’t be fooled. I do not recommend ever staying at Hotel du Globe.

Response from Muriel Chevalier - Manager on Jul 13, 2019
Dear Janet, I read your comments with a lot of attention. It is true that during your stay, we had some issues with our AC and once again I do apology for that. I confirm that a discount had been applied on your room rate as compensation. Now the person who did your check-out did a mistake and forgot to charge your last night; that’s our fault for sure and that night was charged separately. Sorry if we have not been clear enough in explanations. Please note that the maid service is done daily in all our 45 rooms. But when a guest place a “Do not disturb” sign on the door, of course we respect and do not go in. The service at reception is 24h/24h, I regret if you had to wait a couple of minutes for your key. I will tell the staff to be more reactive. In regards to our terrace, you are the first person saying such things. Our guests usually enjoy relaxing or reading on the sun beds, savor the great fruits, cheese and bread bought at the nearby market, relaxing after a long day exploring the city seeping a cool drink, watching the bees and butterflies on the lavender… unsophisticated, small and peaceful rooftop terrace. I am so sad your experience with us, did not match with your expectations, except for our good location. Sincerely, Muriel Chevalier Manager
