We booked this a couple of days before arriving as we were making our way through Provence on a 10 day break. We booked 2 nights here. We arrived early and left our bags with reception which was no problem. We had a one bedroom apartment which was ideal, very clean and modern. The bedroom was small which was fine as we knew the room dimensions when we booked and the bed was comfortable. Bathroom was great, spacious, stylish and a lovely shower (no bath). My wife likes a bath, but there was no problem not having one. The living area with kitchen was spacious for two people. There was a microwave/grill, large fridge, dishwasher and the usual cooking utensils. My only very minor and negative comment is that it would have been good if a small 'welcome kit' of some sort had been provided for the kitchen to include salt, pepper, cooking oil, butter satchets. Nothing major, just very small items that are there in the cupboard on arrival as we didn't see these for sale downstairs, but at the same time we didn't ask. If shower gel, shampoo etc are provided for the bathroom (which they were), a small 'kitchen essentials' just enough to use for one meal would be ideal. Great location, about 6-10 minute walk into the central area, with plenty of restaurants to choose from. The staff at the desk were very friendly and helpful. I recommend this place very highly if you are looking for a one bedroom apartment in a great location to explore central Aix-en-Provence

“Quite good except for the slalom!”

The Adagio is advertised as an aparthotel with self catering equipment.In the case of a “ studio” room,this is a recess with two ring glass top hob,microwave and dishwasher.There is no toaster,but the microwave had a tiny grill element ,which could toast a muffin in ELEVEN MINUTES.

The Adagio is advertised as an aparthotel with self catering equipment.In the case of a “ studio” room,this is a recess with two ring glass top hob,microwave and dishwasher.There is no toaster,but the microwave had a tiny grill element ,which could toast a muffin in ELEVEN MINUTES. I did not take the hotel breakfast. The room was otherwise adequate,with reasonable clothes storage but an annoying lack of space for small items- instead of bedside tables there are sawn off bits of log.Beds were firm,and the duvet covers,once the ridiculous thick padding was removed ,were large enough to make top sheets. The aircon worked well, despite the “ environmental” propaganda notice suggesting it was partially disabled. I enjoyed my stay,apart from the horrors of the triple bend to enter the parking garage.Many other reviews mention this,but a new obstacle is an electric street bollard which requires a mobile phone call to the hotel(or a 100 yard run uphill) to release.This is a pity,as a Sixt car hire is conveniently sited nearby.

“Good choice for Aix”

“Some positives, but absurdly tiny bedrooms and no daily room service”

Positives: good position - quiet, but only a few minutes walk to the historic centre; it offers parking and has air-conditioning. The Adagio isn’t a real hotel - the rooms are suites and there isn’t a daily room service. Our suite was ok in most respects - there was a small sitting room, a terrac… more

Positives: good position - quiet, but only a few minutes walk to the historic centre; it offers parking and has air-conditioning. The Adagio isn’t a real hotel - the rooms are suites and there isn’t a daily room service. Our suite was ok in most respects - there was a small sitting room, a terrace and even a kitchen area. The bathroom was fine. But the architects obviously decided to save room by making the bedrooms absurdly small. Ours was barely larger than the double bed, and it was virtually impossible to reach one side of the bed. Many visitors to Aix would probably prefer a decent sized bedroom with bathroom to this place’s suite offerings - and not to have to ask for fresh towels and a new loo roll at reception..
