Yesterday I came all the way to Arles and slept in the aubergue de jeunesse (Hostelling International youth hostel) there.
It was pretty much okay, good mattress, top and bottom sheets, summer kitchen (stove, microwave, fridge, utensils but only one usable cutting knife), laundry. I paid €28.15 which included HI membership because they didn't do pilgrim 'no membership discount'.
It is about 8min south of the cathedral st Throphime and about 20min from the train station. There is Lidl about 5min south of it.
Apparently it is not often visited by pilgrims because it opens late, at 17h, and the included breakfast isn't served before 7h30. I couldn't negotiate any picnics or such. Except for these two pilgrim-related minuses, I can reccommend it.
The only pilgrim accommodation in Arles, Gite Myriam Van Reeth, has only three beds, although she does accept pilgrims on their way home.
