Le Meridien Palais des Roses, Agadir

Advantages: Magnificent building, cheap entry fees, in the middle of a beautiful city
Disadvantages: There's none. you have nothing to lose everything to gain.

...the beauty of the palace lies when you are outside, facing this huge and magnificent building. Next to the Palace, there is a smaller building called "Le petit Palais" the small palace, where you can see some nice painting of artist (mainly Italians) from the 12&13th century. Again, if it's not your thing, the "Rocher des doms", behind the Palace, is a very nice park on top of a rock with beautiful views of the Rhone river, the famous Pont d'Avignon. And further away, the beautiful landscapes of Provence. Definitely worth going. Overall, the "Palais des Papes" on its own isn't worth a trip from UK, (the city of Avignon and its beauties definitely is) but if you are in the area, it would be foolish not to see it. (Being Born in Avignon, I know pretty well the area and will be more than please to help any of you who want to plan a trip in the area.)... Read review

Disadvantages: On main promenade so can be a bit noisy

Magnificent! Rooms with a garden view and/or city view are a less noisy (and cheaper) but they don't have the view. Hotel is central and only a short walk to the shops and old town so if you tire of the view........ Read review
