Travelled to Lourdes with my mother to visit the grotto. Citotel de la Vallee is located higher up in Lourdes however you can still walk to the grotto in 15 minutes. If you want to stay very close to the grotto perhaps this isn't the best location however, the walk through the town was always worth the trip.
Lourdes is absolutely splendid. The people are very friendly there and the hotel staff were impeccable. They speak almost any language which is great as well. We ate at the hotel's restaurant each night for one week and the menu was fantastique! The food was very French and we enjoyed the wine that they served as well. Very reasonably priced for France.
The rooms were small and plain however they were very well kept and the bathroom was newly renovated.
All in all the staff at the hotel made the experience memorable. They were so friendly and very helpful. I wanted to go mountain biking in the mountains and they directed me to a place to rent a bike and always were more than helpful. They just went out of there way to make the stay enjoyable.
