Hotels & Accommodation near Courbet Gondola

The first thing I have to mention is the excellent staff. Every one of them was polite, attentive and helpful and communicated well in spite of the language barrier. I didn’t speak a word of French but they did their best to communicate in English and they did a great job. Garden and City has lots of common spaces to hang around after a hard day of hiking. Most lodgings in Cauterets do not have common spaces. Rooms were clean, beds were comfy. There is an in-house laundromat. Located in the center of town. Pricing was reasonable. I would highly recommend this place.

This family owned hotel is in the heart of Cauterets. The hotel is older and is evident when you walk the stairs and hallways where you can feel the slant in the floors. The room was very large and clean, with older french style furniture and curtains. The bathroom is very modern and had a large soaking tub. Like many French bathrooms, the toilet was in a separate “closet” outside the main bathroom, and although this is a bit odd at least this one had a hand sink inside. The breakfast was typical French but extra special because it included homemade breads, jams and fresh squeezed orange juice. The hotel is centrally located to everything and had great walkability. Free parking is available on the back street of the hotel. The hotel has a lovely courtyard on the first floor, and the surprise was seeing the eight tortoises, who have been in the family for generations that the family cares for. The gondola wasn’t open yet when we visited. Cauterets is a charming town and wish we could have stayed longer. We had a fantastic meal at Natural Takka restaurant and liked the food so much we ate there 2 nights in a row! We bought new hiking shoes at La Cordee shop where we had excellent service. She measured our feet for size and found out the hiking shoes we were wearing were too small, so we ditched the ones we had and walked out with our new ones and feet feeling much happier. The spa is directly behind the hotel. Staff was wonderful and very helpful.
