Hôtel La Solitude

Passing by to see the sanctuary, good location, just a few STEPS of everyqhwre

No air conditioning, it is cold but the room can get pretty hot

La Solitude was not my first choice for a stay in Lourdes, but it will be my first choice when I return! The hotel itself is a little dated and certainly the upper floors could do with a revamp. As is common in France the toilet and shower rooms were separate, which can be a bit awkward to navigate especially in the dark- and I personally don’t like having to touch door handles before being to wash my hands! The rooms had everything needed though, including a small frudge

Pros: location close to sanctuarium. Clean and nice looking lobby. Cons: it was about 9:30 when they simply knocked our door asking to check-out. That was a bid rude.

You wouldn't expect a 4-star hotel to have a gas station dispenser for toilet paper, or body wash, would you? The air conditioner didn't cool. We were looking forward to hanging out by the pool and relaxing. The pool area smelled of mildew and was humid with pool chemical odors. None of the pool furniture had cushions or coverings. We were disappointed in the overall experience we had at the hotel. On hindisight I would pick a different location to stay in Lourdes as the hotel is at a fairly hectic intersection. The remodel done to the rooms is an Ikea rehab with a beautiful lobby that doesn't match the overall texture of the property. We had issues with room maintenancence. Our room was not serviced for several nights over our six day stay. Don't expect an espresso maker in the room. The toiletries and towels were right out of a motel 6. This was not my cup of coffee! Holy water in Lourdes exceptional.
