“Bargain accommodation in a quiet part of town”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 November 2010
2
people found this review helpful

The hotel is quite hard to find if you are driving, but if you can find the covered market off Ave. Maréchal Foch, you will find the hotel on a small street behind it.

It’s in a four-storey white building on a quiet street and has the feeling of a traditional English seaside family hotel. We were met by the owner and assigned room 22, three floors up (no lift, narrow stairway). The room was small and furnished simply. The bed was fine, but the pillow was a long stuffed sausage which gave me a crick in the neck. Bathroom was a little dated but quite adequate. Everything was spotlessly clean. It was easy to snag a free parking space on the street opposite the hotel. It may not be so easy in season.

The proprietor suggested we visit the basilica in the evening as they were holding the last torchlight procession of the season. She was very helpful and pleasant, mapping out the route for us. It is a 15-minute walk by way of Rue de la Grotte through the blatant commercialism which almost seems like Las Vegas at times. I’m sure Bernadette must be turning in her grave!

We selected the €6 breakfast next morning. It probably wasn’t worth it as we could have done much better at the market just down the street. Nevertheless it was convenient and the sunny breakfast room was a pleasure indeed, almost as if we were back in the sixties.

You can stay closer to the basilica and even pay less, but the hotels closer looked pretty garish and commercial. The Hotel Cazeax is a little dated oasis of peace and quiet in a very busy and noisy city.

One plus is that the hotel is just a few short blocks to Café Leffe, rated No. 4 on the Trip Advisor list of restaurants in Lourdes. I highly recommend this place.

“Very friendly and welcoming, and clean enough for my mother-in-law!”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 September 2009

We spent a night here on a visit to Lourdes, based on TripAdvisor reviews, and were very pleased. Reservation was handled perfectly, a very convenient free parking alternative was suggested, and the two rooms were absolutely spotless and exactly as advertised. Rooms are basic and small, but more than adequate.

We opted for the 6€ petit dejeuner also, and it was typically French - croissants and bread, great coffee, butter, honey and jam, with a small piece of emmenthal to boot, all served in a warm and bright room. Perfect.

Make no mistake, this isn't a four-star hotel. But if you're on a budget, and don't mind a slightly longer walk to the grotto, this is the best value for money we've seen in France. Our only problem was finding the place, Lourdes can be a bit of a rabbit-warren the first time.

“Cannot go wrong”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2009

person found this review helpful

I only had need of a hotel room for one night but would have gladly stayed longer if the need arose. My room was very clean and sunny with a small balcony and flowers. Breakfast likewise was offered in a large, sunny room with a variety of choices. The ladies at the front desk are very accommodating and polite. For me the only drawback was that I was traveling alone and the walk back in the evening from the rosary procession became a bit secluded once you passed the major hotels and shops. But definitely worth the value and would stay here again.

“A taste of real France”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 May 2009

This is a clean, small, family run Hotel with basic amenities. Free on-street parking or a garage if pre-booked. There was electronic entry after 8pm.
A twin room for two was 44 Euros. Dinner, and Breakfast is available at extra cost.
The Hotel is located at the southern end of Lourdes, with Resturants, cashpoint and a small market within 100m. The pilgrimage attractions were 15 min walk.
The receptionist spoke good English, and was welcoming.
The en-suite has been updated within last 1-2 years. No TV or tea/coffee in room.
Good stop-over Hotel.
