Résidence du Soleil

Clean comfortable and very convenient. Staff very nice and helpful. Will return again. Very good value for money.

Tucked away in a side road it was just far away from the main street to avoid the noise. Parking can be a challenge since people park on the sidewalks and there are many hotels on the same street. Computer available with free internet access. Staff was friendly and spoke many languages. Breakfast was okay and inexpensive with assorted breads, meat/cheese, yogurt, juice and coffee.

The breakfast was not worth 9 euros but I had a kitchentte and microwave, so went to the market and bought food and made it very convenient.

We stayed there for 2 nights. It was a surprise to us that they did not provide clean room service and there was no towel/toilet tissue etc. replenishment because according to the rude staff, the rate we paid through hotels.com did not include that service. The manager was a bit better although still arrogant. (He did give us a set of towels even we booked two rooms.) When I told him I was not aware of that 'policy' they had, he said in return that he got thousands of visitors and I was the only one who did not know about that. What a way to respond to a customer!

Highly recommended......If you are on a tight budget, this is the place to stay. The studio type room comes with a little kitchen area and it's free wifi. The bathroom is clean and everything worked fine. It even has a heater on the wall. No problems at all with hot water or drain. If you need kitchen utensils for cooking, just ask the friendly staff. They'll bring them to you with a smile. Front desk staff are very friendly and generously offers local attraction information with a map. It's about a 10 to 15 minute walk to the Grotto.

This hotel being so far away from the Grotto should provide better basic facilities like coffee/tea amenities in the room instead of selling it at the reception area to be more attractive n competitive. We booked a quad room and that came with a double and single bed with spring mattresses but the double decker had cheap stuffed ones which were not comfortable at all. Only a long bolster was provided on the beds so the two sleeping on the double bed had to share this long bolster as a pillow! Overall this place is ok if you're just staying for a couple of nights and you don't have any elderly in your group. The young british guy at reception was very friendly and courteous but he's not going to be there long. However the other chaps were also friendly so I guess if you're on a budget as we were then perhaps this might be a good place for you. But beware .... for an elderly person walking to the grotto it could take about 30min of slow walking up and down some slight slopes on the road. There are plenty of other small hotels almost next door to the Grotto but of course they would probably cost a little more so do some checking first. My advice to fellow catholics who are coming here to Lourdes with the elderly is to get a hotel as close as possible to the Grotto as the frequent rain and cold can tire them easily so its better to exit quickly to rest at their rooms but for the healthy get a room up on the hill where there are plenty of good restaurants and shopping outlets to pass your leisure time.

Hotel Residence Le Soleil was very easy to find. The receptionist and hotel staff were very helpful in all aspects. Our room was clean, comfortable and suited our needs, there was a small kitchenette which we never used although the fridge was a bonus for cold drinks. Continental breakfast was good but at €8 per person per day we thought slightly high. It was a shame the hotel does not do an evening meal, their sister hotel where we had a subsidised meal was a short walk away but up some flight of stairs, a disappointment was no bar facilities in the hotel. The hotel was in a good position, close enough to all the religious sites but far enough away from the hustle and bustle. Would we use this hotel again, I am unsure as there are an enormous amount of hotels in Lourdes, and we would probably choose one with a restaurant and bar. Alll in all a decent hotel.

This is a quiet hotel just outside the pay parking area, which was very handy. The owner/manageress was very helpful even though she did not speak any English. We got what we expected and the hotel is good value for money.

Nice little hotel in good location. Wifi good and host very friendly speaking English, French and Spanish. Cutlery in kitchen could be improved.

This is exactly the hotel that my family likes, very new & clean hotel with quiet surroundings, friendly owner/personnel, very reasonably priced rooms and buffet breakfasts, and just a 5-8 minutes walk to the grotto.
