Fabulous stay in a historic, well maintained, immaculate property. The building mixes original antiques with modern plumbing/amenities. Really spacious. I can’t say enough good things about this property. The owner/host speaks English and was so helpful as we sat at their beautiful bar with champagne. If in Cauterets this is the place to stay.
Room is large with coffee, refrigerator auto magic shades for windows. Very quiet

A lovely quaint hotel in the middle of Cauterets, just a few minutes walk from a variety of eateries. The hotel has lots of traditional character, but has also been updated to provide modern in-room services such as coffee pod machines, refrigerators and good, powerful showers. The only downside is the lack of dedicated parking, but that applies equally to almost all hotels in the centre of Cauterets. There is however ample free parking a short walk from the hotel, to which you can move your car after dropping your luggage at the hotel door.

Highly Recommended

My wife had injured her leg skiing and the hotel very kindly and efficiently allowed us early check-in. The staff were warm, friendly and courteous and made us feel cared for. We had a lovely traditional dinner in the restaurant which we very much enjoyed. The hotel was very clean and comfortable and we would definitely return.

Perfect stay

This was an excellent place to stay. I happened to become sick just before we arrived, so spent all my time in the room and was very comfortable the entire time. It helped that I had a view of the mountains from the bed. Clean, comfortable, spacious. Tea kettle. It was everything I needed. The breakfast, which I could finally eat on the last day, was superb -- local foods, home-baked breakfast cakes, good coffee and tea.

Tres bon

Loved my stay in this classic alpine inn. The manager is very friendly and helpful and speaks English. Good location for alpine activities. Close drive to Pyrenees trail heads, but still able to stay in a small village with multiple food options. Free parking in the town lot up the hill. Get the code or use the buzzer at the back door if you will be out later or arriving late.

The hotel has a warm and helpful staff and a very good restaurant. It was a terrific place for a couple of nights -- and days of hiking -- in the mountains.
