Top hotel at Pau

Hotel Bristol is a fantastic option for those that appreciate collection hotels with contemporary content and a bit of history behind. The rooms are really huge size compared to what you can get on the same prize level. Staff is super nice and make feel home with a smile

Location is excellent - a very short walk to all the key parts of the city and the staff are excellent and very helpful. Parking is limited so remember to reserve a spot if you are driving. Our room had a tiny bathroom and overlooked the car park which proved quite noisy - tbf this might have been a one off with some loud kids but was a pain the night it happened.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
I wish all of our stays could be as good as this place! The room was a nice size, and surprisingly quiet for sleeping despite overlooking a busy street -- the modern window in the bedroom blocked all noise when shut, and closing the bathroom door took care of the rest. WiFi was very quick in both directions, and worked with VPNs and SSH, unlike several other properties we stayed at. The TV was tiny though, and could not be used with a computer or to view one's own content. Half a star off for that. Staff were excellent.

Great Place in the heart of Pau

I always stay here when in Pau. The location is great, the staff are super friendly and its great value. Some of the higher end hotels have better facilities, but they are like double the price. If you like a good value and slightly old world French style place then I am sure you will like it here and its walkable to the centre and all the bars etc.
