I wish we would have read the reviews on this hotel before booking. Rick Steve's France book mentioned this hotel. Every morning by 6 a.m. we were awakened by garbage trucks, recycling crews, street washers, etc. One morning I counted SEVEN trucks with noisy people before 7:00 a.m. I second other reviewer's comments about bed bugs. My friends and I... more

Beyond the bedbugs, the expensive but poor breakfast, noisy garbage trucks, the place was a little dark but otherwise nice. Google "Hotel DU Blauvac Bedbugs". Then Google bedbugs so you know what you have to do to keep from bringing home. more

Just half a block from the Place de l'Horologe, this hotel is close to everything that matters in Avignon. It's on a putatively quiet street, unless there happens to be someone sharing her personal crisis at loud volume, or workmen tearing tiles off the adjacent roof at 8 a.m. sharp. The lady behind the desk is very friendly and has... more

This is a dump in an alley surrounded by garbage. A dirty room with an awful smell. Hair on the bed. Avoid at all costs. more

I stayed at L'Hotel Du Blauvac for 2 weekday nights. It's in a convenient location in the center of Avignon, close to the train station and the sights. On the plus side, the staff were very helpful and friendly and spoke English. I booked the room through e-mail which was easy. It is a charming and historic building/hotel. I had... more

My husband and I traveled to Avignon for the last leg of our trip. We stayed 2 nights in Hotel Blauvac and I wouldn't do it again. It is incredibly noisy at night-we heard lots of fighting in the alley below. The garbage trucks drive down the alley early in the AM and are also very loud. The room was... more

If you love The Four Seasons, The W, or the London, this is not your hotel. If you want character, charm, a real 17th century building and proximity to the centre of the old town of Avignon, then this is for you. Yeh yeh, the rooms are small. The Triple comes with a cute little loft. There's no air conditioning?... more

Very quirky. Our room was quite small but very tall, with a funny little spiral stairway to a loft. The room was also dark and hot during the day and had a musty smell. The bathroom was clean and we did think we spotted a critter in the bed--sorry to say, because I really liked this place in a lot... more

Well, start with the positives. The owner stayed up late for our arrival by train from Paris. The hotel is very close to the Palais des Papes. The room was "ready" when we arrived. Ok the rest: We arrived on a Saturday night. The area of the hotel is next to a square where all the local teenagers "cruise" with... more
