I recently stayed at the Alysson as part of the team managing a large South African cycling tour to the Pyrenees. My company Spyns is a leading provider of Tour de France trips and the wonderful "Change a Life" charity in South Africa hired us to help execute a cycling tour/fundraiser in France. At first, I was taken aback by the hotel's location, which is in an industrial park in Oloron-Saint-Marie (about 45 mins southwest of Pau). But I was quickly won over by Monsieur Dodard (owner/manager) and his ultra capable reception team (Mireille & Aurelie among others). I have worked with dozens of hotels in France and the Alysson's service was undoubtedly the best I've experienced. With any large VIP group, there can be a lot of last-minute demands and this was a particularly challenging group. M. Dodard and team smiled while driving people to doctor's appointments, shuttling to the train station, wharehousing 50+ bikes for a week, and even helped pull together last-minute decorations & entertainment for the group's final gala dinner. So I give the hotel team an A+ for service. Turning now to the hotel, the hotel restaurant is excellent and it's always a pleasure to dine on-site. Rooms are large, spacious, and comfortable, if not a little austere. I'd recommend booking a room that faces the parking lot rather than garden as there can be some street traffic noise in the morning. Breakfasts were excellent and for cyclists there is a large bike storage area and huge parking lot for arrivals/departures. The hotel is also with riding distance of some famous climbs (Marie Blanque, Aubisuqe, Soulor to name a few). I hope to return with a Spyns Tour de France group.

I recently stayed at this hotel as part of the South African “change a Life” Charity team. We were based at this hotel for 6 Days. The hotel was ideally situated on the foot of the Pyrenees for our cycling activities. It also has a large car park and plenty of storage to accommodate some 60 plus high end bicycles!Whilst the hotels itself was a little austere, the service was superb. The owner attended upon our every need not could not do enough for a very demanding group. The food was excellent. I will return!

“Ok, would stay again”

Stayed here for two nights over weekend. Hotel just off a roundabout but not much noise. Out of town a bit. Sunday the hotel was locked when we came back after a walk into a town which we found was dirty and everything closed. Would not recommend the town to anyone. Food was ok but could do with mo… lisää

Food was ok but could do with more staff on duty. Room was overlooking the pool and nice and clean
