Reviews for Hôtel Continental
Review 1:December is not a good month to go to Lourdes, so quite and not many restaurants open.
Review 2:I like it because it's not expensive but very close to the Lourdes Sanctuary. The staff was very helpful and the breakfasts were ok.
Review 3:none at all!
Review 4:all the staff are all very nice and helpful.they allow us yo bring take away food and sit in the loun ge.the location of the hotel. the cleanliness of the toilet.
Review 5:The hotel bar does not serve alcohol. It is not a big deal but it is nice to be able to have a drink in your own hotel, especially as a woman travelling alone.
Review 6:This hotel was perfectly situated literally 2 minutes from the Sanctuary. I could pop back to the hotel whenever I needed the bathroom or to fetch something. I also had a view of the river and the distant peaks of the Pyrenees from my room. The room was small but it was clean and warm (I was there in December). The recepton staff were friendly and could speak English.
Review 7:The hotel is located very near the sanctuaries. There are good cafes in the area and also shops for souvenier shopping. The staff are very, very helpful.
Review 8:Breakfast was disappointing, the minimum you might expect and the coffee was awful!
Review 9:Position of hotel was excellent. Quiet but we went out of season so may differ at other times. Staff very courteous and polite.
Review 10:Central location with river view yet access to religious grotto area was just about 400 metres. Reasonable breakfast and excellent Staff who were eager to serve and please. Loved the River view.
Review 11:We had a room with a double bed and it was cramped.
Review 12:The staff are helpful and warm. We were met by Mary at the reception who was kind to assist us during check-in
Review 13:Our stay here was very pleasing. The staff were helpful and friendly with whom we were easily able to communicate with in English. What we requested from our room was what we expected. It was very clean and tidy with cleaners coming in regularly to ensure our room remained pristine. The breakfast was also excellent with a variety of foods that we could select from. This was tipped by its excellent location, with only a few minute walk to the Sanctuaries. I personally would recommend staying here for anyone who is planning on visiting Lourdes.
Review 14:Yes. I am very glad to have very helpful staff who guide me all along. Even to helping me to book cab as this is my very first time in Lourdes! They are simply marvelous and excellent!!!
Review 15:Nothing
Review 16:The hotel was literally a 5 minute walk to the Sanctuary. The location allowed us to go back to the hotel to rest before the evening rosary. The room was spacious, comfortable for the three of us.
Review 17:I have nothing to complain.
Review 18:The location is one of the reasons I chose to stay in Hotel Continental. I volunter in Marie St Frai and the hotel is just across from it. The rooms have been refurbished and looks really nice. I have stayed here for 5 years and will come back again. It is also very close to the grotto.
Review 19:No wardrobe rail in our room. Unable to hang up clothes. When asked reception, told the room rate excluded a wardrobe!!!!! No iron in room.
Review 20:Location, comfortable bed, little street noise audible.
Review 21:None so far
Review 22:Actually we were upgraded to Hotel Solitude. So I'm actually ratingHotel Solitude. Staff were courteous and it was comforting to knowthere's a Filipino ( Vanessa) in the check in counter. The hotel wasbusy. And within walking distance to the sanctuaries. And there werenearby cafes outside. It was a relaxing and pleasant stay.
Review 23:Requested a walk-in shower which we got but with no shower screen around the tray it is impossible not to wet the floor thus making conditions more dangerous

Review 30:Bed could be a bit more comfy. There should be a tea making station in the room I. E.Kettle,tea coffee, sugar etc
Review 31:Wifi and friendly staff is the best part of my visit.
Review 32:The toilet was situated in a corner of the bathroom with very little space. This is a comment rather than a complaint as I am a rather bulky person of 82 years
Review 33:The staff at reception and room were very pleasant and helpful. I do not take breakfast so I do not comment here but every thing seemed to be very efficient. I had a pleasant eight nights.
Review 34:We inadvertantly locked the safe the first day, we told the staff but it was never unlocked for us to use.
Review 35:The room we were in meant that it was quite quiet at night so we were able to get a good nights sleep.
Review 36:Not a major problem but the room is small. The bathroom is very small.
Review 37:The staff was great. She was very accommodating, willing to take our luggage so we can start going around Lourdes. We had breakfast there and by the time we finish breakfast, she informed us we could check in. That was really great!
Review 38:The location is excellent: very near to the sanctuary... the staff are very friendly and helpful and the rooms big and clean!and all that for reasonnable prices :) I recommand it!
Review 39:No air conditioning, no tea and coffee making facilities and the room was small which made it to hot to sleep
Review 40:We had clean towels every day which I didn't expect for a 3 night stay, friendly staff and great location
Review 41:The place is very near St Cirq Lapopie but you should have a car since the free shuttle is only available during dinner. It is a perfect place. We were in awe! The staffs and the owner are very nice people always willing to help.
Review 42:Very difficult to find due to the other displays from shops and hotels. Their sign is very small and we passed it twice. Our room was like a box cupboard, very "bijou" to say the least. Stupid really as they had other much larger rooms free but gave us a tiny room. Apparently had we complained they would have moved us!!
Review 43:The location of the hotel was very good. Reception staff were again very helpful. Car parking is right next door in one of their sister hotels.
Review 44:Location is excellent, in the middle of all sights and walking distance of train station if you like to walk. Hotel offered free wi-fi, free breakfast, staff was great, and rooms were basic but had the necessities. The price was excellent!
Review 45:No Bad Experience.
Review 46:Location, Staff, Value for money were excellent. Would recommend this hotel to anyone who is travelling. All my requests wer taken care of. i loved it.
Review 47:Amenities were good. We liked the 24 hours availability of food as we did not have to feel rushed to avail breakfast. Staff were also very friendly, especially Vivian and Gemma. Will definitely recommend this place.
Review 48:The staff was friendly and accommodating. I had a room that was overlooking the street. It was on the first floor so I could walk up a flight of stairs and didn't have to wait for an elevator all the time.
Review 49:Comfortable stay.closest the location where I wanted to visit. The more I like and comment about the all members of staff they are excellent. They were trained well.especially sicilia I am sorry i forgot the name of other girl they were so helpful.they are the asset of this property keep up the good work. See all of you soon .we will be back
Review 50:I previously stayed with 2 others in a triple room. I found the size of the triple room good. However this time I shared with 1 other in a twin. I found it to be quite small. (Minor negative though) My roommate had a bad experience when checking in. The woman on the front desk was quite abrupt, unhelpful and somewhat rude. The staff the rest of the week were very pleasant.
Review 51:The location of this hotel is superb in relation to it's proximity to the sanctuaries. I didn't spend much time in the hotel so my needs were few. It catered well for these basic needs. I didn't have any meals in the hotel. Our room was at the back of the hotel so was quiet.
Review 52:There was no mirror in the room. The only mirror was in the toilet/bathroom and since we had a triple room, if the toilet was occupied, the others had to wait to use the mirror.
Review 53:Almost Everything
Review 54:Wifi reception in room is sporadic - had to keep entering code.
Review 55:The reception staff is super - friendly, knowledgeable and helpful. The room is clean and basic - shower has plenty of hot water and pressure. Great location!
Review 56:Our room 274 was little bit small...
Review 57:Only a few minutes to Sanctuary. Good restaurants and shops are near by. All staff were very friendly and kind. Unfortunately I had an accident on my way to Lourdes and needed a wheelchair. Staff named Aurelie kindly assisted me and took good care of everything what I needed. I had a wonderful stay more than I have expected.
Review 58:Showers need to be updated showers screens broken no air con
Review 59:Staff. Vinuales hotel group stands above the rest because of its staff. Staff across all vinuales hotels in lourdes go above and beyond to assist people staying at their hotels. the staff at continental were fantastic, friendly, very very helpful. We had a personal crisis and they were so good in assisting and this was fantastic.
Review 60:We were given a free upgrade and stayed at Hotel Solitude which is located at the back of Hotel Continental. Both hotels are owned by the same company. The hotel staff is very courteous and helpful especially Dominique.The staff speaks English.The ground floor restaurant is reasonably priced and serves delicious food. The hotel is very close to the Grotto and the Basilica. Souvenir shops and eateries are also steps away.
Review 61:I don't like the shower cubicles because I am a large person and I find it difficult to have a shower in such a small place
Review 62:I come to Lourdes to work as one of the hospitality and this hotel is perfectly situated for me right opposite the Saite Frais hospital
Review 63:Noisy outside from bars nearby not a problem for us but could be if quiet is important to you.
Review 64:Location, standard of cleanliness, superb shower, very accommodating over check in. Room only option was perfect for us.
Review 65:The towels in the room dont need to be changed every day
Review 66:I loved my stay in Lourdes this year, the staff in the hotel were extremly welcoming and friendly, they always chatted when able to, very pleasant. A big thanks for making me feel comfortable and safe. The room was everything a tired stagiere would wish for after some extremely long shifts at the airport and train station. Also the breakfast times were ideal for most early starts (except those in the middle of the night). I had a wonderful time, the location was superb and hope to stay with you next year
Review 67:I thought the breakfast was a bit expensive for the choice they have to offer for €8, as you can get better selection in the cafes for same price or less.
Review 68:The hotel was basic but the rooms were spotless. The beds are very comfortable, each night I hada great sleep. I heard no noise from outside The location for the grotto is great only a 4 minute walk. The staff were very helpful and would do anything for you, especially ceceila and the little blonde hair girl who name I didn't get, would like to say 'Thank you' to them. I would recommend this hotel to all my friends who at anytime will b travelling to lourdes.
