Hôtel Aux Vieux Remparts the Originals Relais

Hôtel très joli avec un très bon accueil. Parking un peu petit mais difficile de faire autrement en ville haute.

5/5 Excellent Lovely hotel, with all the quirky charm of an old establishment, but including modern cons. Spent 1 night on route to CDG airport from Nice. Guest room 224 was perfect. Up 2 flights of stairs (no lift in this part of the hotel) in a quiet corner, spacious with comfortable king bed and high-end bedding, a window with nice view of some old town buildings, two skylights and a nice sitting area, Original A-frame rafters (so high ceiling) and a pristine, spacious bathroom. The bathtub with both faucet and handheld shower wand was superb – good water pressure, spacious bath for relaxing, and fluffy absorbent towels. No washcloths or face cloths, however. Half a point off for this. In room 224 there was a kettle with tea & instant coffee. 2 bottles of water were provided. The AC worked. The staff agreed to store small items in their refrigerator for us. It would’ve been convenient (and it seems a standard offering of virtually all hotels these days) to have a small fridge in the room. One does not want to run down to staff for every access to their items. The other half point was docked for this. The reception and service from staff was exactly what one would hope for. Make sure you get a map of the area at reception – there are English as well as French versions and they are indispensable for navigating the small town and appreciating what you are seeing. Provins is an authentic, medieval village, nicer in our view, than Aigues Mortes or St-Paul de Vence, if you have been to either. You must view the Tour Cesar and large church behind it lit up at night. We recommend this hotel.

Very nice property, the nicest out of the other Originals hotels we have stayed in. The spa and massage facilities and services were great. The hot breakfast buffet was a plus. The restaurant was a little expensive, landing between bistro and fine dining but not clear as to which it wanted to be. The receptionist who checked us in and out was great.
