We had a family stay (60-something parents and 37yo "child") for 2 nights. The hotel is located an easy taxi ride (8-12EU each way) from the train station. There is a bus stop (1.20EU per person) almost directly in front of the hotel which will also take you to the Funicular to Pic du Jer or you can walk ~15-30min (depending on your fitness level) uphill to the funicular. From the hotel, the walk to the Sanctuary is 5-10min and passes many shops and restaurants. The hotel restaurant offers standard breakfast that includes breads, jams, cereals, boiled eggs, cold sliced meats and cheeses, yogurt, coffee, tea, juice, etc. We had a triple-bed room (1 double bed, 1 single bed) which is comfortable in size and has a balcony. The bathroom was fairly large but the SHOWER STALL was TEENY-TINY and very difficult to maneuver in without shutting off the water accidentally. The hotel staff were very nice and multi-lingual (French, English, Spanish). Our room was very clean and our view overlooking the river was absolutely beautiful and incredibly tranquil considering the apparent chaos surrounding the Sanctuary. There are no refrigerators or ice machines available for guest use. The desk staff kindly gave us ice each day to keep my father´s medications chilled. Except for the teeny-tiny showers, I would recommend this hotel to others. I would happily stay there again myself but mature travelers or those with limited mobility will have difficulties with the showers.
