Bottom Line
Hotel Garlande is a modest two-pearl property on a cobblestone street within the ancient ramparts of historic Avignon, near Place de l'Horloge, the Palais des Papes, and St. Didier Church. Once a private house, the 12-room Garlande lacks for public spaces, aside from a breakfast room. Guest rooms vary in decor, but all achieve some level of Provencal charm. They include mounted flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, mini-fridges, and free Wi-Fi, and some also have coffeemakers. A breakfast of superb pastries, eggs, and other items is available for a fee. Travelers could also consider Hotel Central, which has similar amenities and a central location.

Cozy Provencal budget hotel with a welcoming staff
Situated in an old private house on a cobblestone street within Avignon’s historic ramparts, Hotel Garlande is a welcoming property reflecting Provencal style, starting with its masonry facade and wooden shutters. Inside, a small wooden front desk sits next to the petite, wood paneled breakfast room with a generic drop ceiling. Stairs leading to the rooms are narrow, and there's no elevator, which might pose a challenge to those with limited mobility. Past guest report the staff members are especially welcoming and eager to share their knowledge of the city, fostering a special intimacy between staff and guests.
Location
Located within the ancient ramparts, near major sights, shopping, and restaurants
Hotel Garlande is situated in the picturesque historic center of Avignon. Within its winding, narrow, pedestrian streets, the hotel can be hard to find, and street parking can be difficult, even with the hotel's instructions. There are several restaurants, bars, and shops on the surrounding streets. The hotel is a six-minute walk to the 14th-century Palais des Papes, St. Didier Church, and Avignon Cathedral. The Musee du Petit Palais and its Renaissance masterpieces is about a seven-minute walk from the hotel. The train station is a 10-minute walk away, and Avignon-Caumont Airport is a 20-minute drive.
Rooms
Homey rooms with flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, and mini-fridges
The Hotel Garlande's 12 rooms are colorful with a homey -- if somewhat dowdy -- Provencal style. Each room is individually decorated, with a few vintage pieces. Some have either blue or yellow accent walls, or high ceilings with exposed beams. Typical decor includes colored carpeting and floral accents in pillows or curtains, and pretty botanical-themed artwork. Family Rooms, with extra beds and futons, are spacious, though others can be cramped, but all share views of the cobblestone streets. Standard amenities include flat-screen TVs, air-conditioning, free Wi-Fi, safes, and mini-fridges. Some have coffeemakers. Tiled bathrooms are modern, with showers or shower/tub combos, pedestal sinks, toiletries, magnifying mirrors, and hairdryers.
Features
A short list of features including breakfast service and free Wi-Fi
As a small budget hotel housed in a former home, the Garlande lacks a restaurant and bar, although it serves a buffet breakfast (for a fee) with standout pastries, eggs, yogurt, and coffee, which guests can take in the dining room or in guest rooms. Free Wi-Fi is available throughout the property. There is no parking in the immediate area, but the hotel will direct guests to parking garages and nearby street parking.
