There were mixed reviews about this hotel online. But I found it charming, the room was lovely and the reception staff very helpful. It’s directly in the centre of the town and 5 mins away from the basilica of St Mary Magdalene - whose skull is on display there. A beautiful experience overall.

One night in August

We stayed just for one night prior to a wedding. We were warmly greeted on arrival. There were no problems with language. The room was basic but provided all our needs and the breakfast was excellent. The hotel was close to the town square for our evening meal.

Hotel is nice. Skip the restaurant

The women at the front desk and the housekeepers were all helpful and friendly. Every waiter/bartender in the restaurant is rude. Should not be in the service industry

The room was very basic and could use a little renovation. The bath towels are clean, but very small and worn out and thin. There is no toilet paper holder.

This was a small hotel located in the center of St. Maximin-la-Sainte Baume. The rooms are very clean and charming. The breakfast is fantastic and free parking lots are nearby. It is a 5 minute walk to the Church of Saint Mary Magdalene and about a 30-45 minute drive to the St Mary Magdalene Grotto. Staff are friendly and helpful. I would highly recommend this hotel and area.
