Hôtel Escaletto

In a city where expensive is the norm, try this freshly refurbished budget haven on Cours Sextius, a short walk from the Roman baths. You don't "settle" at all when you stay here. The rooms have been upgraded with contemporary woods, cool white walls, funky mirrors, and discreet lighting. The biggest pull is the gigantic terrace where guests may gaze over the Aix-en-Provence rooftops to Montagne Sainte-Victoire. A few (tiny but comfy) single rooms for under 100€ are a great bargain for solo travelers.
