Hôtel Saint Etienne

We picked a hotel for budget and thats what we got, the place was clean but old, a coat of paint throughout would make a big difference. No air con. we booked bed and brakfast, breakfast was served to you tea/coffee, oj, crossent, half a crusty roll a slice of ham, a half a slice of cheese and a natural yogurt. Hotel at top of hill directly up from St Michaels gate not to bad a hill but would be tough to push a wheelchair up. small foyer/bar in front of hotel where you could sit and have a drink. we were unable to eat in this hotel as we had not booked in advance which was a pity as food looked good.Man on breakfast duty and girl on reception/breakfast were very nice, limited englih spoken. the lady cleaning our rooms had a hard job in the heat but she did a good job. site said it was a 10 min walk to sanctuary but it was less than 5 mins . only one elec socket in bedroom and one in bathroom. There is a lift but also a few steps to some rooms so if this is an issue let hem know in advance.I would stay here again as i said old but clean, but on a budget not the worst.

Although the French star system is different to the UK, I would consider it equivalent to a 3 star. My single room had two beds with ensuite and was clean, adequate with tv and tall windows that opened to the Boulevard. The hotel serves b&b and evening meal. Note; the evening meal is a set meal and the choice is for meat-eaters - no fish and certainly not suitable for vegetarians. However, the Le Navarre bistro, just minutes down the road, will suit. The hotel has a well stocked bar and small reception. Cafes are not open early so if you require breakfast prior to 9am I suggest you eat at hotel. From 7am a good cold set breakfast of croissant with butter and jam, small pot of coffee, small jug fresh orange, slices of ham and cheese, french bread and yogurt . (Sets you up for the day) The location is great, especially if you are on pilgrimage - turn left and within five minutes straight walk you are at St Michel's Gate - the entrance to the shrine. Located in the middle of tourist shopping with an ATM is practically opposite the hotel.
