Stayed here in August. A clean large room with a kitchen area, the bed was very comfortable. Just 1 kilometer walk to the Grotto. Excellent value for money. Would stay again.

Nice hotel - clean rooms, large spaces with single beds and minimal decor. Coffee bar makes delicious croissants in the morning. No dishes or cutlery to go with kitchenette, and ensure you bring soap for the shower. Staff are nice and helpful and speak a multitude of languages. Free parking was easy to find and the internet worked in the rooms. Was a pleasant oasis.

The Lorda Appart'Hotel is a very nice place to stay. They recently renovated the hotel and they did a good job. Quiet and tidy place to stay in a modern environment. To see the old style of the hotel, just take the stairs ;-]. I recommend the Rivierasol restaurant, very quick service and a table just next to the river!

This is a rather strange hotel in a rather strange town. In general I think it is good value for money, but with a little attention to detail, it could be so much better. First of all, the pictures on the hotel website certainly serve to embellish what in reality are rather spartan rooms. There is no carpet, only a cheap laminate floor, and while everything is brand new, most of the fittings are very cheap and shoddy and won’t last more than a year or so. We rented a one-bedroom apartment and while it was spacious and boasted two flat screen televisions, it had no kitchen cutlery or pots and pans, rendering the fridge, stove and microwave totally useless. There was also a kettle but no cups for tea or coffee. Also, I was surprised that as a three star hotel, the Lorda didn’t provide soap, only a very cheap package of shampoo that was wholly inadequate both in quality and quantity. We didn’t try the restaurant because it smelt like a school cafeteria, though given that the food in Lourdes is pretty abhorrent almost everywhere, it might not be a bad choice after all (definitely avoid Barack’s restaurant next door)! On the plus side I will say that despite their shoddy furnishings you get a lot for what you pay for, both the bed and sofa were very comfortable, the staff were multilingual, pleasant and helpful, and the hotel, while a long walk from the train station, is excellently placed for many of the sights, and at an agreeable distance from all the tacky tourist trails. In general I’d certainly recommend Lorda, but don’t let the pictures and other positive reviews get your hopes up too much.
