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.

We stayed in this lovely establishment for three nights. The staff were super friendly and helpful which was an added delight. We had the breakfast each day which was delicious. My husband was a big fan of the fresh orange juice machine. A great start to our day. We enjoyed one. evening meal which changes daily. It was generous and delicious.Thank you to All the staff for making our stay such a wonderful experience.

Quaint hotel
This is a quaint hotel close to a lot of restaurants and shops. We were there in June, so it was off season. Lots of places were closed but the hotel itself was great!

What a beautiful hotel. The Lady at the front desk, (I assume she was the owner ) was fabulous.cShe prepared an amazing meal for dinner and also hosted a fabulous breakfast the next morning. The room had everything you would need.

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.

Lovely hotel and restaurant close to great hiking
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.

Enjoyed the overall experience
This hotel served the best breakfast of all the 7 hotels and bnbs we stayed at this trip to France. The price was very reasonable for the quality and variety of the home made food. We nearly had a croisant every day of our entire 3 weeks and this hotel had the best! We loved the location, right in town, yet quiet. We could open our large window and get lots of fresh air. The room is small but adequate. The only thing I would mention would be to make the two chairs around small table in room be more comfortable. This was true of every place we stayed that there were not very comfortabble chairs to sit in. The outside area was very charming, but due to weather and other activities we did not use. Thomas speaks English and was very helpful. This is no reflection on the hotel, but perhaps later in June would be a better time to visit, as many of the restaurants and stores were closed. However, the plus is that it not crowded with tourist. Even the spa was closed, which was a disappointment. Yet, we enjoyed our hikes (bring rain gear) and our stay and Cauteretts and this hotel remain one of the few places we would repeat!

A short break in the Pyrenees July 2017
If you are visiting this part of France I can really recommend staying at the Hotel Le Lion D'Or. Family run 18thCentury small hotel which has been very sympathetically renovated - very comfortable, very clean, very friendly and helpful and very central. Beautiful patio terrace for pre-dinner drinks - evening meal recommended - very french and very tasty. We loved it, just wished we had booked a longer stay.

Great in-town hotel
This in-town hotel is an excellent base for hiking in the local Pyrenees. It combines local and old world charm with all the modern conveniences and best of all, great food. The staff are most alacritous and accommodating.
