Reviews and Ratings
I had a pleasant stay overall. The rooms were nice and spacious but faced some noise from the nearby factory, which affected my sleep at times. The staff was friendly and helpful, though the checkout process was a bit slow. The hotel's location was perfect for exploring the Pyrenees' iconic spots. Dining was decent, but there was a slight hiccup with the service, particularly with an aggressive waitress. Value for money is reasonable, but be prepared for some noise.
I had a lovely stay at this hotel. The rooms were spacious and nicely decorated, providing a comfortable atmosphere. The staff was friendly and helpful, always ready to assist. However, I did notice that the dining service could be improved as breakfast options were limited, and I had a slightly unpleasant encounter with a waitress. Overall, the location is fantastic for exploring the area, making it great value for money.
I had a pleasant stay at the hotel with clean and comfortable rooms, though they might feel a bit small for longer stays. The staff was friendly but the service could be a little slow at times. The location is fantastic for exploring the mountains and nearby attractions, but it’s close to an industrial area which can be noisy. Overall, it was good value for money, but could benefit from some enhancements.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel with its spacious family room and friendly staff who were always ready to assist us. The location was unbeatable for experiencing Le Tour, being right along the route. However, the service could be a bit slow at times, and our room wasn't serviced for two nights, which was a downside. Overall, it offered good value for money, especially with the great dining options available.
The hotel is situated in a fantastic location, directly across from the bus to the ski station which made getting around super easy. The rooms are beautifully furnished and quite sophisticated, though facing east towards a factory was a bit of a letdown. The service was outstanding, as the staff even let us park our motorbikes safely in the courtyard. Overall, it was a good value for money, especially for those looking to hit the slopes.
The hotel has a fantastic location, perfectly situated to explore the classic cols of the Pyrenees. The rooms are beautifully furnished, although mine was a bit noisy due to the nearby industrial area. The service was good overall, especially with the parking for motorbikes, but it could be improved. The dining options were underwhelming and need better service. While it offers great value for money, the lack of elevators might be an inconvenience for some.
I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, which is directly across from the bus to the ski station, making it super convenient. The rooms were clean, although a bit noisy at times due to the industrial view. The staff were warm and welcoming, but the check-out process was a bit slow. Overall, it's a good spot for exploring the local area, but expect some noise if you like to sleep with the windows open.
I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is perfect for those wanting to explore the Pyrenees, and the staff was friendly and accommodating. However, the rooms were a bit noisy at times due to the street, and the dining service left much to be desired. Overall, it's a good value for the location but could improve in a few areas.
The hotel is conveniently located close to local attractions like Lourdes, Col du Tourmalet, and Gavarnie. The rooms were impeccably clean and quite comfortable, but unfortunately, they didn't have all the features I expected based on the booking description. The service from the staff was friendly, and they went out of their way to help us with parking our motorbikes. However, the dining experience could use some improvement, especially in terms of food availability during breakfast. Overall, it offers good value for money.
The hotel had a great location for exploring the Pyrénées, with spacious and clean rooms that were well-furnished, albeit lacking air conditioning.

The breakfast buffet was wonderful but could use better management towards the end of service. Overall, it offers good value for money, but there are some areas for improvement.
