Short stay in the Auvergne at end of September, this hotel is convenient for the town of Bourboule - just a 5 min walk, and is very reasonably priced. We had a comfort room at front of hotel and although you couldn't describe it as luxurious it was certainly comfortable. Hotel looks as though its recently been updated (to a budget) and carpeting looked new as did the beds and paintwork. Everything worked and was clean and rather quaint hotel looks as though it was once very grand but the crowds have now gone away. The hotel staff were always helpful and on hand, the lady on reception spoke pretty useful English . La Bourboule is an old spa town that looks past its best, obviously not the destination it was 25 years ago, the cable car shut in 2012 and several buildings appeared abandoned, however we weren't there to see the town we were there to see the countryside and the volcanoes - there was certainly spectacular scenery within a 30 min drive including Puy de Sancy and Puy de Dome. I know this was the off-season but I never quite worked out the hotel restaurant / bar, I was never sure that it was open but we always ate in the town and there was a variety of restaurants available there although most seemed to shut early (c. 21:00)

We stayed a night on our way to Spain and were happy about it. Had a room on the front with a balcony, great view and with open windows sound of the river. The lady ar the reception was really friendly and helpful (arranged an appointment with a doctor). For our doughter (3) there was a nice surprice: a childrens toilet and playing room in the basement. We ate in the restaurant, very convenient. Nice spacious room, friendly waitress. Food was ok, not especially good.

“Acceptable stay for a reasonable price”

Lovely old building in the local style. Rooms are basic but a decent size. Bed was very comfortable. There is a lift and easy access bathrooms suitable for people of reduced mobility.

Lovely old building in the local style. Rooms are basic but a decent size. Bed was very comfortable. There is a lift and easy access bathrooms suitable for people of reduced mobility. Breakfast was a buffet and had a reasonable selection. The receptionist didn’t tell us we needed an entry code to get back into the hotel after we’d gone out after dinner, fortunately some residents let us in. Lovely old spa town, interesting to walk around.
