Ferme Zoo Tours

We gave the hotel 3 stars as a balance between positives and negatives. On the positive side, the staff were friendly and helpful; the room was kept very clean; the bathroom was good and the shower excellent; the air conditioning struggled valiantly in the heatwave; the central location was helpful; and our room at the back of the hotel was very quiet; although there was no private parking, there was ample public parking close by at a reasonable price, circa 10 euros per day/night. We did not happen to use the restaurant in the evenings but it was doing good business in a competitive environment, which speaks well for it. On the negative side, the room was absurdly small with barely enough space to move around the bed and minimal storage (certainly not worthy of a four-star hotel); the "shabby chic" look involved trashy, dysfunctional furniture (e.g., a bedside lamp too dim to read by); the sheets were uncomfortably rough-textured and unsuitable for hot weather; breakfast was skimpy and overpriced for what was allowed by the hotel's rationing.

I liked the location, outside of Arles but not too far. It had a tennis court, bikes and pool...my favorite hobbies! The gardens are just wonderful- make sure you explore. The rooms are all individually furnished.

Great location- steps from the attractions. The staff were very helpful- even though there was no elevator, they carried our bags up the steps to our room. After a day of site seeing, the jacuzzi pool in the spa was lovely- and overlooks the forum. Arles does not have many taxis, so call the hotel to arrange if you are unable to walk from the station.
