Hôtel du Lion d'Or

This is a lovely, quirkily laid out, old school, family run hotel, with great food. The dinners are traditional French family cooking at its best and plenty of it. Our room, with mountain views both ways was comfortable. There are a lot of stairs, but a lift too. We would go back, and don’t hesitate to recommend it.

Fabulous and huge very comfortable room and elegant bathroom. Hosts were delightful. Great bar. Awesome location

Absolutely Lovely family-run hotel with traditional French Pyrenees decor. We decided to eat in the hotel for 4 nights despite Cauterets having lots of eating and drinking locations - their menu of the day was fab and reasonably priced. What impressed us the most was the service with Tomas (very good English) pretty much doing everything whilst supported by his lovely aunts who did the cooking - home from home! Great comfy bedroom and the outside courtyard had 4 amusing tortoises. Central but quiet location. Parking was little challenging but far outweighed by the rest of what was a very positive and enjoyable experience.

This hotel represents the best of the family-run 3* French hotel genre; one which is hard to find these days. Owned by the same family for generations and the pride shows. Has "everything you want and nothing you don't" - great breakfast, friendly service, impeccably clean, fridge and coffee maker in the room. No AC but you don't need it. Dinner available on pre-arrangement. Discount for nearby hot springs.

This is super family-run hotel. Lots of traditional character, with modern details in the rooms. Central for easy walking around town, generous breakfast and dinner available for residents. Very friendly and helpful family owners are present all day

Upon our arrival to France we spent 3 nights in the comfortable, welcoming, historic hotel. It was filled with lovely quirks & unexpected surprises, like the turtles who live out on one of the patios. The winding staircase was such fun!! The family who run the hotel were lovely & attentive. The food superb (best breakfast in ALL our French stays). Tomas was always ready to make a cocktails (necessary after a hard day’s hiking). His mother & aunt were busy baking, cooking, serving, as was he. Located in the middle of this quiet & lovely town with shops & stores for hiking lunch supplies. Don’t miss this place!

What a wonderful hotel! We spent 6 nights and loved our stay. Location great for spectacular hiking, cute town, rooms are modern and beautifully decorated, Thomas and his mother are very welcoming hosts, breakfast was excellent and dinners delicious (love the soups). Nice bar and lounge area and need to check out the garden with the tortoises. Highly recommend this hotel if you like to hike or ski.

This is a lovely family hotel. It is charming and genuine and full of things to marvel at. We came with our 3 children and our mother and we all had a superb time. The 3 kids aged 18,16 and 14 gave it 9/10, which is an amazing teenage review. The 3 course dinners were authentic French food of a very high standard, the rooms were charming and the inner courtyard was a lovely place to soak up some sun and relax outside your room. Everything was very carefully thought out, Thomas, our host, was a wonderfully helpful man and we had a wonderful experience. We could not recommend it more.

We stayed in this lovely establishment for three nights. The staff were super friendly and helpful which was an added delight. We had the breakfast each day which was delicious. My husband was a big fan of the fresh orange juice machine. A great start to our day. We enjoyed one. evening meal which changes daily. It was generous and delicious.Thank you to All the staff for making our stay such a wonderful experience.
