Negrecoste Hôtel & Spa

I loved my experience here! Originally only planned on staying one night but ended up extending it to two. The spa is excellent and the service was fantastic.

Exceeded expectations This boutique hotel’s location was great. Pediatrician friendly street. The food, drinks & service was so friendly. Our room a/c was perfect as it was 100 degrees outside. I would recommend this hotel. We had a lovely visit.

Perfect place to stay if you want to enjoy the Provence Markets and Aix has a huge one. Great location, friendly staff. We didn't do the breakfast so i can't comment. We ate at the restaurant and it was very good. Rooms were well appointed and the hotel is well maintained. We would absolutely stay there again on our next time in Aix.

Central and friendly We booked 1,5 hour before we arrived at midnight and they responded quickly and helped with parking and everything we needed. Amazing location in the middle of town, but can be noisy on weekends. Spacious room and new bathroom.

Extremely helpful informative and friendly staff

The Negrecoste is a lovely hotel with the most perfect location of any hotel in Aix – in the center of the south facing side of the main pedestrian street Cours Mirabeau (separating the Quatier Mazarin, an elegant old affluent residential neighborhood, from the old town behind the hotel. Thus, everything – literally everything -- is within easy walking distance. There is a relatively large Monoprix not a block down the street for anything you need. The location is the primary reason we chose this hotel and it is one of the best features. However, the hotel rooms themselves pale in comparison. There are some very unusual aspects to the large suite we stayed in, all of which were undesirable and made trying to make the room work for several days difficult at best. Positives + location + AC works very well, is individually controlled in the room, and the blackout shades work well + the shower has very good water pressure and the controls are pushbutton on/off + the closet has a lot of shelf space and moderate hanging space (however, there are some real negatives to the closet – see “Negatives”) + the front desk staff is very pleasant, professional, and helpful, especially the two Camilles + the bathroom has 2 sinks and a very good, powerful hair blow dryer (not so common in the EU) + you do not hear any street noise sounds from the room Negatives Room --the room’s closet, while spacious, has an extremely annoying feature – it has motion detector sensors that are very sensitive (yet strangely inconsistent) so that when you trigger the sensor, the lights in the closet go on concurrent with a loud “plink” sound or, conversely, the lights go off and again concurrent with the loud “plink.” So when you are close to the closet, lights on/plink! And step away for a moment, lights off/plink! And go back lights on/plink! So you have to stay rooted in place to keep from triggering the lights off or on/plink! This became extremely annoying within the first hour of getting settled in the suite, and was especially so early in the morning when one of us got up early to go exercise and the other wanted to sleep. Good luck with that/plink! Finally we became so irritated that we found and taped a paper towel over each sensor to block it. Also, the closet doors are very heavy and very difficult to push open and closed. When you push a door on the slider to one side to access that side of the closet, the other person cannot access the opposite side of the closet. The slider doors are very inconvenient and difficult. -- the suite is divided into about 40% bathroom space and 60% bedroom & closet space. There is a big step up into the bathroom / conversely down into the room. The floor is very dark gray tile and at night, in the dark, you do not see this step up or down and so it is very easy to trip. The amount of the total footprint allocated to the bathroom is far more than needed. At least half is dedicated to a very, extra large bathtub that takes u
