Hôtel Saint Etienne

The Hotel St Etienne is a great location for Lourdes sanctuary and just a ten minute walk to the railway station (shuttle bus to airport). The street is full of souvenir shops and a few cafes which though busy during the day is very quiet at night. The hotel is good value for money. The shower (always my test of a hotel) was excellent (water pressure and temperature). We stayed on a half-board basis and were very satisfied with the quality and quantity of the meals. Above all the staff, especially Fred the evening waiter, are exceptionally friendly and helpful. Our return flight was cancelled and the hotel could not have been more helpful in accommodating us for the extra night and helping to print off new boarding passes.

The hotel was conveniently close to the Basilica which was the reason we went to Lourdes. It was also conveniently close to many restaurants and a decent walking distance to the train station too! The rooms were spacious.

The location was a short walk to the sanctuary and while we were there during the low season, there was sufficient food around stores that were opened to serve our needs. Monsieurs Fred & David were helpful & polite in replying to earlier email and on site. Breakfast was good and at a decent price. It was a nice little establishment and our family enjoyed the stay. We stayed in a quad room, it was clean and bathrooms were good and spacious.

This hotel was in a central location. It’s about 8-10 minute walk from the train station, and it’s about 8-10 minute walk from the Grotto. The staff was very nice and accomodating. The lady at the reception helped me book the taxi for the next morning so that I could catch the earliest flight out of Lourdes. The next morning, the gentleman at the front desk opened the door and turned on the t.v. for me as I waited for my taxi. There’s a postal box across the street if you’d like to mail your postcards. I love the spiral staircase. I love how they gave me a room on the second level with the view of the street below me. I was very surprised to discover that St. Bernadette’s birthplace was just around the corner, maybe around 2-3 minute walk from the hotel.

This hotel offers excellent value for money. Exactly what you would expect from a simple but decent hotel. We stayed here two nights: on our way to and from the Pyrenees mountains. Really friendly, flexible and helpfull staff.
