Reviews of la Résidence Berceau de Bernadette

I stayed solo in this guesthouse in Lourdes and overall had a good experience. The landlady is very kind and helpful, which really adds to the stay. The location is excellent — only about 7 minutes’ walk to the Grotto and Sanctuary, close to shops, restaurants, and around 10 minutes to the train station. Breakfast is simple but nice (baguette, butter, jams, a croissant, and Nespresso). The apartment also has a kitchen and small fridge if you want to prepare light meals, fresh linen sheets, and plenty of space in the bedroom for luggage. As a solo traveler, I also felt very safe here.

That said, the cleanliness could be improved. I found the shower and toilet not well cleaned when I arrived. Guests are asked either to leave the place clean before departure or to pay a €20 cleaning fee, which may explain why standards weren’t as high as expected. The mattress wasn’t very comfortable, and being on the main street, it can be very loud until midnight. There’s also a curfew — after midnight you can’t re-enter until around 7 am, so it’s not ideal if you want flexibility. I think this guesthouse is most suitable for solo travelers or couples visiting Lourdes mainly for religious purposes, who value proximity to the Sanctuary, a welcoming host, and don’t mind some noise or stricter rules.

Perfect location, literally 3 minutes walk to the main entrance of the Sanctuary. I had a spacious and bright studio with two big windows and a balcony and a well equipped kitchenette for self catering. The hostess is very kind and helpful and makes you feel at home. I have been there already twice, so I would definitely go there again.

The location was great, close to the main sites and walkable from the rail station. The continental breakfast, especially the croissants and bread were delicious.

There is an extra 20 Euro charge for having the room cleaned, or you can do it yourself.

Safety, clean, great location, wonderful host, peace, wonderful place to self reflect, great view from balcony. The residenxe with soul.

Location

Communication Confusing booked with breakfast kept getting communication advising we never had it included and not supplied to studio we booked. Then when we arrived told the studio we booked not available and we had been given a room with no kitchen. Offered another room for next day but still not a studio with kitchen so no point moving. Breakfast for 2 consisted of 1 demi baguette, 2 croissants, two little square butters, 4 little squares of jams. 3 teabags and long life milk.

Great location to stay for Lourdes, especially if you want to focus on Saint Bernadette and The Grotte. It is 10 minutes on foot from the train station, nearly the same time as from Sacral place. It is a good point to go otherwise, like to Gavarnie (line 965, 2 euros for an amazing trip with gorgeous waterfalls) 😍 ❤️ The studio (Saint Micheal) is comfy. You may find some devices in the kitchen (fridge included), microwave, electric kettle, coffee machine for capsules (dolce gusto), bathroom divided from a toilet, cabin is quite small, (rather not for oversized persons or disabled) but still manageable 💪💪 Good price for that place, it is preferred to clean after the stay (1 hour is definitely enough to save 20 euros), you can pay otherwise to make owner extra money (tipping hostel is better than restaurants located nearby 😀😀) And the last- check in hours, it is pleased to inform the hostel about late arrival, max 8pm is possible, but still tgv train approaches station at 7pm, so there is a window to check in

There is no duvet in the room, only a blanket, but still, it is warm enough, especially for a couple 😀

The location was ideal for quick access to the Grotto. The owner-hostess Elisabeth was very helpful and accommodating, the room concise but comfortable, the kitchen suitably furnished, and the price highly competitive for the area. Well worth considering!

Room size is adequate but comfortable. Larger room there wasn't available at time of my booking.

Excellent location.good size rooms. Good shower room and toilet.A beautiful chapel for use by pilgrims. Also a priest comes to say mass where we was invited to join in.Continental breakfast served to the double room. The studio apartment has a well equipped kitchenette where meals can easily be prepared. The host elizabeth is friendly and welcoming. Rooms have a balcony where you can sit with your coffee .

Nothing not to like it’s all very nice

I really enjoy the property where I stay. It may not have all the extravagant features found in luxury places, but its simplicity adds to its charm. The cozy atmosphere makes it feel like home, providing a warm and inviting environment. The design is practical, allowing for comfortable living without unnecessary clutter. I appreciate the little details—like a sunny corner for reading or a snug balcony for morning coffee—each contributing to a sense of peace. There’s something comforting about being in a space that embraces simplicity while offering a welcoming feel. Overall, it’s a perfect blend of comfort and straightforwardness that I truly value.

Nothing really. Everything reach my expectations

The breakfast was a bit basic - the location was excellent - the host was friendly

The location is really accessible to everything,especially in the grotto.

Missing essential instruction upon arrival. An over abundance of info in 2 languages. Floor was not clean. Water was lukewarm. Queen size bed was completely comfortable but should have been made upon arrival. The electric radiator worked well. It was quiet.

Location very gòod

Location and host

Heating

Convenient location

Location, it was a room with a two burner electric stove a small refrigerator, I had the option to purchase a pod for coffee and croissant for 5 euro a day , luckily there was a grocery store five minutes away and I went ahead and bought eggs baguette chicken slices some butter yogurt etc- spent 15.00 and was able to have a full breakfast- three days… didn’t realize there weren’t any spices- called Elizabeth and she lent me salt and pepper … upon leaving I called her and gave her any left over food I had purchased ..FYI, bring your toiletries… she provides a blow dryer - which was great , also- I saw someone complain about entering through the back- NO it is not entering through the back - literally you walk to the end of the corner it is around the block… I thought after reading the comment oh you go through a door or alley- No… it’s around the block.. And Elizabeth was there … to show me how to get to room..

Everything was fine- a humble place… if you are looking for a a four five star accommodation- book somewhere else. Very humble , specially if you want quiet - no tv - no radio- very quiet - it was good for me- Was able to walk everywhere at night without feeling any type of danger.. didn’t hear a siren once, Like in Paris- every few minutes.. 🫨
