If you look something in the very inexpensive range there is the:

Hotel Vigouroux, 27 rue Cardinale tel 0442382642 near the cours Mirabeau. You can only book a room for the summer vacations and have to write in advance. Certain rooms have shower and WC. From 25 to 38.50 for two.

Hotel Paul, 10 avenue Pasteur tel 0442232389 fax 0442631780.
Near the cathedral in the old Aix an excellent place for the budget traveler. Hotels like they used to be in last century but very warm welcome and very convivial. Clean and cheap, everything you need ;-). From 31 to 36.50
, that’s no money.

More chic

Hotel Cardinal, 24 rue Cardinale tel 0442383230.
Reception is a little sour but it’s a family hotel and the rooms are cute. There is a main building and an annex with rooms with kitchen corners (55.50
-60.99 ) In the main building (18th century) rooms for 41 to 46 a double, bath, WC and TV.

Hotel La Caravelle, 29-31 boulevard du Roi-Rene. Tel 0442965546
A bargain since it is very difficult to get a room here, even off-season. 30 rooms with doubles for 41 to 57
.

Hotel Le Concorde, 68 boulevard du Roi-Rene tel 0442273890.
In front of the previous. From 34.35

Hotel Le Prieure, a little outside Aix (2km) on the route des Alpes (RN 96 direction Manosque-Sisteron) exit 12.  tel 0442210523. fax 0442216056.
How religion leads to hotel. This is an ancient priory (hence the name) used as hotel of 23 rooms now. The rooms are very pretty, very cozy. 49.50
for two with bathroom and 64.50 for twin beds. One of my favorites! Notice the park next to the hotel. It is called the park of the pavilion L’Enfant and designed by Lenotre says a French guide. Let’s believe it! Prohibited to enter.

Really more chic

Hotel Le Manoir, 8 rue d’Entre-casteaux tel 0442262720
Closed Jan15-Feb 20.
Despite the interior is a little tarnished and the housekeeping is not always impeccable, I have also a crush on this 3 star ancient monastery with apparent beams. The rooms are pretty, well-furnished and different prices. Five rooms with one big bed for 310, 330, 350 FF with shower and WC. The others go for 60.25 to 77
with bath and all comfort. A very well conserved 14th century cloister to have your breakfast. Medieval ambience guaranteed!
Courtyard to park your car, very very useful in center town.

Hotel Les Quatre Dauphins, 54 rue de Roux-Alphéran tel 0442381639 fax 0442386019
Adorable small rooms in this charm hotel. Rooms for 56.50
with shower and 61 with bath.

Hotel Saint-Christophe, 2 avenue Victor-Hugo tel 0442260124 fax
If you want airco and perfectly equipped rooms this is the place. Near the cours Mirabeau, an Art Deco house, almost a landmark for Aix. Rooms for 69
to 80 .  A visitor complained about the airco and had a bad experience with the owner. Maybe it was an exception?  

La Pauline, chemin de la Fontaine-des-Tuiles, Les Pinchinats, 13100 Aix-en-Provence tel 0442170260
A few minutes from the center of Aix, this bastide protects its guests from the summer crowds noise thanks to its park of 8 hectares. You can bath in an ancient basin of freestone, rebuild into a swimming pool. Four luxurious rooms prolonged by a private terrace. A double costs 118
