Continental Pau Centre

No air conditioning, and hard to find parking. But overall it is a decent hotel

Sadly this grand hotel is no longer! now very basic provision. Clean sheets and towels, then low level, cleaning standards e.g dirt around window frame. Good location for the city. The usual frustrations of management economic meanness, no information need to scan the code for advice where there are no instructions how to use tea/ coffee makers, very limited provision 1 tea,1 coffee, 1 cream. no instructions for mobile air conditioning unit, use once paper cups. Hunt the towels hidden in the wardrobe. Toilet door wouldn’t close. No anti-slip mat in shower. Very disappointed. Observation- when we book through *********** we always get a minimal room to frustrate the client , therefore, we don’t return to the hotel. This case in point we were allocated a boring on the fire escape. For what reason when occupancy was less than 15%? BW are one of the best at “How to annoy customers so that they don’t come back !!”

Very good address to stay in Pau centre, very friendly and helpful staff. Will come back next time definitely.

The Hotel at first glance is full of oldie world charm, however on close inspection it is not only old but very tired. The staff are really nice, their booking system a little haphazard as they struggled to Find our reservation, in the end I had to Produce our confirmation! Upon entering our room we eventually found a light switch which showed curtains and shutters closed, the room was stifling hot, there was no air conditioning just a mobile electric fan The room cooled down after 2 hours with the windows open and the fan on The refrigerator had a few drinks inside including a can which was about to explode after was out of date We had requested a double bed we got two Singles pushed together Sleeping without air conditioning was difficult The breakfast was adequate at 13 euros Please note there is no restaurant and no room service as advertised on booking .com Parking is non existent In review it’s good enough for an overnight stay any longer and you really need to look at modern hotels with all conveniences Sadly I would not stay again and that’s no disrespect to the staff but aimed at the state of the premises and the owners

large spacious room with very large bathroom. Good fridge in room. Excellent receptionists. Secure garage parking. Location perfect for city center. One way street system makes it difficult to find but it is on a corner and the garage three doors along. Phone and get the entry code in advance. Hotel decor a bit faded and no air-con.

The room was very spacious with a Juliet balcony but as we didn’t have air conditioning we needed to open the doors to let in some fresh air. Downside was the noise as quite central. I wouldn’t recommend in summer as just too hot and potentially noisy if you open windows. Car parking very easy and a bonus. Breakfast was good. Bathroom nice and quite good value for money for central location but lack of air conditioning is a definite negative in the summer months.

Walking into the reception area and passageways there is a feeling of faded grandeur reminiscent of the great hotels of 100 years ago. However the bedroom and breakfast room were all clean and modern. Our room was of good size with a long wall table giving plenty of space for laptops etc. Initially there was only one chair but a second was quickly provided on request. Breakfast was excellent with a lot of choice. Outstanding above all was the friendly and helpful attitude of the staff – day reception, evening reception, breakfast room – all of them. With two nights bed and breakfast for two and underground parking in their car park next door the cost was €201 which we felt was very good value.

Very 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).

The room had a broken safe, broken chair, dead batteries in the remote control and a general feel of neglect. However the staff were helpful as much as they could be and very friendly.
