Germs-sur-l'Oussouet Holidays from £358

Spacious apartments conveniently located just on the edge of the chaos that is Lourdes. There is a large free parking lot across the street. Arriving on a Sunday, we had to do self check in which was well organized. My only complaint is that the room desperately needed a deep clean. The floors, bed, bathroom etc were clean and I had no concerns about sleeping here, but the baseboards and walls were coated in a layer of dust and clearly hadn’t been cleaned in a while.

Relaxing stay. Very close to grotto.

I learned my lesson for the last time about not checking to see the pool temperature … It was freezing! Also the pool closes at 7 PM every single night. The one thing that made my son and I an easy walk into our room was that the hallways are completely blacked out until you move and then a light comes on automatically. But it’s very eerie every time we have to walk to and from the elevator to our room. I will definitely stay in town closer next time, or wish I would’ve stayed at Ibis. The only reason why I didn’t was because these guys had a pool which I didn’t get to go into.

The lovely lady at reception really made me feel welcome and she was able to help me with every question I had.

I stayed at Hotel St Marie with my mother in early October. We visited Lourdes after Paris. It was my mother’s first trip to continental Europe and the first trip to Lourdes for both of us. I selected this hotel based on the amazing reviews, and they were accurate! This is the absolute perfect hotel for a visit to Lourdes. The location is absolutely wonderful—very easy walking distance to the Sanctuary, grotto, everything! It’s also romantically situated—look at the photos online. It’s spotlessly clean and quaint, and it feels classic and spiritual. Very clean and comfortable but not inappropriately swanky for the locale and purpose. Christine, the hostess/owner, is so amazingly warm and friendly. She takes pride in welcoming and helping others in this way and is a credit to the town. The breakfast each morning was prettily presented and delicious—a wonderful way to start the day. And I know this isn’t why you go to Lourdes, but the daily morning croissant is hands down the best croissant I have ever had in my life and I have spent a lot of time in France! My mother and I have such special memories of our time in Lourdes and the hospitality and atmosphere of this hotel and Christine were a special part of our experience.
