    After a repainting and with a fridge in the room it would be ok for a short stay quality/price.

    Dirty walls, patches everywhere. A fridge in the summer should be absolutely a minimum. The lack of airconditioning was not surprise, but in the summer months, for many its a nongo. This time temperature was 37-39 C, but cooled down for the nights so with open windows you could sleep-but you need earplugs, because of the streetnoise. (bar nearby, motors, etc) Also bad isolation, heard the neighbours television at 2.00 Am.

    I have mixed feelings about this stay, the room (superior) was good size, extremely nice bathroom, totally clean, cleaning daily. The bed comfortable. Location 10 min from the heart of the city, opposite the fine art museum. Elevator. Good communication with the place online.

    No A/C built-in, but portable unit was provided. Instructions for it would have been nice...but I'm being picky.

    Owner is lovely. Access is easy via key code. Room was basic, but as per description. As it was Tour de France weekend, room was good value. Breakfast is continental and good.

    A decent budget hotel within easy walking distance of Town Centre and Railway Station...

    Tiny bathroom. If you're sharing with a partner, make sure the TV is on. Tiny lift also, and steep stairs alternative. If you have mobility issues, ask if lift is working, or for room on bottom floors.

    Compact and pretty basic, but comfortable bed and clean room. Staff were excellent, very friendly, helpful and and happy to converse in English (just as well as my French is a disgrace). Nice location, overlooking the Musée des Beaux-Arts de Pau, and very close to the main retail and socialising areas.

    corridors and lift to room very narrow. Washbasin emptied very slowly, blockage somewhere. Some dripping water outside of night access door. After around 7pm, access only via codes.

    Room was fine, bed was comfortable, shower good. Room /hotel access via codes worked well. Convenient location. This is a inn style accomodation, but basic necessities are there. Staff attentive, breakfast and lunch quite ok.

    Great space; friendly staff, big clean white comfy bed. A little unorganized as the staff didn't read my email about staying a second night; didn't personalize an email to reassure me that my stay was confirmed. Sent me 5 identical emails but didn't send the access code until 3 hours before checkin- which - if I hadn't had wifi data I would not have been able to checkin as reception closes early.

    It’s a small bedroom with a very tiny bathroom! I have to point out that the hairdryer wasn’t working on room 23 (floor 2) which was not good.

    Great location! Just right in the center!

    Barely a Hotel. Too Hot. Overpriced. There are better options in Pau.
    • Leisure trip

    This isn't really a hotel. It is couple rooms run by a restaurant/bar. The rooms are tiny and without Air Conditioning (AC). Even when it was cool outside and I had the window open, the room was still oppressively hot. Not really sure why? Breakfast is fine, but too expensive. Entrance feels unsafe and unprotected. Bathroom toilet was in too cramped a space. (even cramped from a European hotel bathroom perspective.) This isn't a place I will stay at again.

    Location is good and the staff is nice.
