Excellent stay at this traditional hotel
Reviewed By Va_HikerMy husband and I very much enjoyed our recent stay at the Hotel Gramont. It reminded both of us of the way hotels in Europe used to be many years ago (in a good way), but with some modern upgrades. The staff was very friendly and helpful. We were upgraded into a huge room (more like an entire apartment) with a nice view of the square. The air conditioning worked great, and the windows and shutters really blocked any street noise. The room itself was clean and comfortable, and had everything we needed. The decor is perhaps a bit kitschy, but to each his own. In addition, the location is great - close to many sights and good restaurants. While there were no parking spaces available in front of the hotel during our study, we were able to easily find public parking within a few minutes walk. We would definitely return if we find ourselves in the area again.

Great price, Average service
Reviewed By OseDanThe started here for 3 months - from Sept to Dec 2018. They price is relatively good, the room is a good size with basic facilities. However, the service and attitude of the staff is very poor. Wifi is UNRELIABLE at best. No English-speaking TV channel. I complained several times about other guests smoking in the room next to mine, and the hotel staff showed an indifferent attitude and nothing changed. Hotel staff that cleaned the room did a very poor job, sometimes leaving the bathroom & toilet virtually untouched. The breakfast options are very poor for the price (extra cost breakfast). To be honest, the only positive thing about this hotel is the location and the price. If I had a short-stay visit to Pau, I will NEVER stay at Appart’hotel Victoria Garden.

Great value and extremely helpful staff
Reviewed By kirbymjsStayed for two nights when visiting Pau to watch Leicester Tigers. Drove down from Limoges Airport (4 hours) and realised that we would not arrive until c. 10pm whereas Reception closes at 9pm. We rang ahead and the lady agreed that she would stay until 10pm to give us our keys - how good was that?? We arrived at 9.55pm and were able to collect the keys and the combination for the front door. Small, comfortable, clean rooms and an inexpensive continental breakfast. A restaurant next door and a number of places in the vicinity particularly Au Bureau which we found to be very good.

Rooms more of an IBIS level but top-notch staff
Reviewed By Francoise LCramped rooms, narrow and hard beddings on which it is impossible to relax, not-so-fresh pillows, super thin towels, minimalist toiletries– just a gel fixed to the wall of the shower, we had to claim hand soap – we were used to a better treatment by Mercure hotels. The rooms here are more of a basic Ibis. The parking is not closed, which is not reassuring when you have to leave luggage in the car due to lack of space. Many customers weren't wearing masks - even in elevators - and we didn't see them asked to wear ones. In addition, the sanitary pass is not required for breakfast, a rule by the Accor group according to the receptionist. However, we stayed in another Accor hotel in September and customers without a sanitary pass had to have their breakfast in their room. On the other side the hotel is quiet and well located near the highway, dinner and breakfast were more than good. The staff are very kind and responsive. These positive points made our stay a little more comfortable.

Restrictions throughout France
Reviewed By John AWe always enjoy our stay at Pau either on our journey to Spain or on our return home to England. Sadly because of the travel restrictions on visitors through France we were unable to make the journey to Spain and hence were unable to stay at Pau. This is one of the 3 Premiere Classe hotels which were booked and not fulfilled. Extremely disappointed!!!
9. Best Western Continental
Overall Ratings

Welcome to the BEST WESTERN CONTINENTAL HOTEL ! The prestigious grand hotel in the centre of Pau. The hotel is located in the historical centre, just a few steps away from the 14th century castle of Henri IV, the shopping area, the business and congress centre "Palais Beaumont". The Best Western Continental Hotel entry hall has kept the charm of the original 19th century while the comfortable rooms are equipped with modern amenities. Exploring Pau couldn’t be made easier: just leave your car in the hotel’s free and covered parking lot (on request and if available) and start discovering the town: the pedestrian area starts right around the corner. Whether you visit Pau for work, shopping or leisure, you are in the right spot!
Pleasant stay in Pau
Reviewed By mesalpes2015Very good location in Pau (in the city center, short walk from the castle, close to many restaurants). Simple room but clean and quiet. Outdated and old decoration. Valuable halfboard accomodation (room+breakfast+dinner).

Manager rude, dismissive and disrespectful
Reviewed By grahamtulleyNever got to stay as machine to pay wouldn’t work and manger on the phone was very rude We drove to this hotel and arrived tired around 23:30h We had a booking and had to pay via a machine as there was no one at the premises. It didn’t work we tried different credit cards but no joy so we called the telephone number got a helpful lady that tried to help but no joy, so she said she wold tell the manager to come. I called back after a few minutes to ask how long aprox, just to be told the manager was uninterested. I asked if I could speak directly to the manager and was given their number, i called just be told that their machine works fine, after explaining that we had tried 3 different credit cards from different people and banks i was then told the hotel is closed for me and was just hung up on Its not a 5 star establishment but some basic decency wouldn’t be bad but guess the manager just couldn’t be bothered to come out. It left us with no where to stay the night, so as you can imagen I would never ever recommend this place unless you want to be treated like dirt and left with nowhere to stay Saying this i have stayed at many ibis establishments and always been pleasantly surprised
