Hôtel le Mozart

The hotel is a good choice for budgetminded travelers but it is somewhat distant from the center of the city. It took about a half hour to walk to the rotonde, which is the center of Aix. However, along the way to the rotonde are plenty of cafes, shops selling food, wine and bread. The route is pretty direct and leads directly to Cours Mirabeau, the main thoroughfare of Aix, You can take a taxi from the rotonde to the hotel for 8 Euros. Breakfast provided a nice selection of European breakfast choices and you could dine on the outside terrace on the days that it was open. The hotel didn't have laundry facilities, but there is a pressing service(dry cleaner) a short walk from the hotel on Gambetta that will do laundry. My personal biggest negative was that you have to climb a steep driveway and then some stairs to reach the entrance to the hotel. Although you can bypass the stairs by entering through the garage and taking a lift to the main floor, you still have to walk to reception at the entrance. If you're carrying luggage, either way it's a trek. I'm in my eighties, so at the end of a day of walking, climbing the hill was a chore. All in all not a bad choice.

Hotel Mozart provided a quite place to stay while being within easy walking distance of the city centre. The facilities were fine.

The desk staff members were very helpful. The shower in the twin room was so tiny, it was extremely difficult to use and there was absolutely nowhere for soap or shampoo. Water leaks out of the shower and floods the bathroom no matter how careful you are. The shower doors do not seal. If you are overweight at all, dont book the room with the tiny shower. I would skip breakfast next time. It only consists of bread and boiled eggs. Just get your own cheap bread at the store. Food is cheap at French grocery stores.

Hotel is a short walk to centre of Aix. Friendly and helpful staff. Room was clean and good size bathroom.

Home away from home. We felt at home at the hotel. A perfect location to start off each day on a new adventure getting to the Luberon or to the coastal towns of Antibes, Cassis, Marseille etc. Comfortable beds, good water pressure in the shower and a delicious breakfast each day. The staff is attentive yet unobtrusive. Helpful if we needed cuttlery or dishes for our own enjoyment of the delicacies we found at markets or shops around town.
