HOTEL SAINT-CHRISTOPHE * * *
Hotel restaurante cerca del distrito de Rotonde y Mazarin que ofrece un salón de té y bar en Aix-en-Provence.
La entrada del hotel es de la brasserie. Ambiente parisino acogedor para este establecimiento que data de los años sesenta. En 1936, Léopold Bonnet compra un garaje llamado Saint-Christophe y lo convierte en restaurante, el relais Saint-Christophe. Pero tendrás que esperar hasta 1956 para que la familia Bonnet haga la compra de las plantas situadas encima del restaurante para rehabilitarlas en hotel. Desde el hotel se han renovado varias reformas. Las habitaciones, un poco pequeñas, están poco a poco modernizadas. Apreciamos la situación privilegiada (el hotel da a la Rotonde y al barrio Mazarin) y la presencia del aparcamiento (de pago) permite olvidar su coche. En la planta baja, los Aixois y los turistas se benefician del Léopold, un bar, un salón de té y café donde se puede encontrar en una tranquila tranquilidad con comodidad.
The hotel is close to Piazza Mihabo, the center of Aix-en-Provence, so you can also take a late night stroll. It is located a 10-minute walk from the train station and the intercity bus terminal. Because it is a central street, there are a lot of city buses. There is also a theater within a 3-minute walk.

2. Rooms & restaurants, other facilities
1) Room: I stayed in a family room. It is a duplex structure with a sofa on the first floor and a bed on the upper floor. The ceiling was two stories high and the windows were high. The interior is mainly in pale pastel colors, like the Provence region. Photos of Cezanne's work are also hung on the wall on the first floor. The corridor to the room is also full of Cezanne's atmosphere. A picture of Cezanne's Mount Victois hangs behind the reception desk. Overall, I like the atmosphere of the room with a simple yet cozy atmosphere.
But I don't like the bathroom. Both the structure and the interior look rather old and cheap.

2) restaurant
The restaurant on the first floor, located to the right of the hotel entrance, has an open window, making it a good cafeteria. The red-focused classic interior makes it okay to come just for coffee, not for meals.
However, breakfast was insufficient. The bread was flaky, and the food was tasteless. Breakfast is not recommended.

3) Other facilities
As this is a 3-star hotel, there are no other facilities.
3. Service
Service is okay.

4. Price
When I went, the price was also reasonable (walking in price). However, when I searched with Booking.com now, the price is almost doubled even in the off-season. I would prefer to contact the hotel directly to find out the price.

5. General review
If the price is between $100 and $130, I'm willing to revisit the Family Room.
