Absolutely perfect location for a hike to the Cirque. The hotel is dark which gives gothic vibes which we loved! Breakfast was lovely, stunning views and a great little place outside with lovely restaurants and shops. We loved the lady on reception, she gave us so much info about the area, thank you ♥️

My wife found the bed a bit too firm but I thought it was just right and got a great night’s sleep.

What a great spot to explore from, or just relax. The view from the hotel is breathtaking. It’s nice being in Gavarnie after the hordes leave. Restaurant at hotel wasn’t open for dinner but there are plenty of choices in minutes. We sincerely appreciated the owner “moving the walls” and making sure we had a room that worked for us. It’s a gorgeous place to stay.

No evening food. Plenty of options closeby

Location fab. Room looked out to circus. Friendly staff with good advice for walks and excellent English. Go up steep route 3 on left side towards the circus and come back on easier route 2 on other side - or flat downhill route 1 in the middle.

Hotel furnishings a bit old fashioned.

Amazing location - gorgeous view of the Cirque de Gavarnie from the terrace and our room. Friendly staff. No evening meal but walkable to other bars/restaurants. Lovely walk up to the Cirque straight from the hotel.

This hotel is truly a hidden gem. Nestled right near the Cirque du Gavarnie, it offers the most stunning views we’ve ever seen, like waking up inside a postcard. The property itself is quaint, cozy, and feels like an oasis in the mountains. Everything was very clean and comfortable, and getting there (including parking) was easy and stress-free. Breakfast was delicious, the baguette and croissant were genuinely the best we’ve had in our lives. A perfect way to start the day. What made our stay truly unforgettable, though, was the kindness and generosity of the staff, especially Lydia. She went above and beyond to help us during a very special time. We got engaged on the Cirque du Gavarnie hike, and Lydia helped me coordinate with a local photographer and made everything smooth and meaningful. Her support made our engagement day even more magical. We would absolutely stay at Hotel Vignemale again. Between the stunning location, cozy charm, and incredible service, it was one of the best hotel experiences we’ve ever had.

I was a little disappointed that the restaurant was closed. And at this price point, there has to be wifi in the guest rooms.

The staff were very welcoming and helpful. Breakfast was excellent. The room was quite small for the price, but the view was very nice.

- No dinner available in the hotel - Reception is closed for long periods - ask for the door code in advance if you arrive late

- Unrivalled view of the famous mountain "cirque" and highest waterfall of Europe from terrace and breakfast room - Historical building with "atmosphere" - Plenty of restaurants as well as one food store within 5 minutes walking distance - 10 minutes walk from bus stop at tourist office - Extremely calm - Many great hikes start from the doorstep

Rooms were slightly outdated. Breakfast was overpriced for the little food we got.

Impressive building right at the foot of the Cirque de Gavarnie. Friendly staff, we were able to check in early without any issues. Great views from all rooms. Parking available.

It would have been good to have had the possibility of dinner at the hotel. The breakfasts were of high quality.

Wonderful location, quiet with uninterrupted view of the Circque de Gavarnie. Exceptionally helpful and friendly welcome. Perfect English spoken.

The large soft bed wasn't ideal for a sensitive back. It was also too big for the available space, making for awkward access on one side and there were no bedside cabinets. The hotel was not full, but there was no mention of an upgrade to a better room and / or with views towards the cirque.

Very friendly and helpful staff. We were well looked after, particularly regarding the loan of an ice-pack to ease a troublesome back problem plus walking poles to aid a lovely walk to the Cirque de Gavarnie. Great views of the Cirque from the front of the hotel. Safe parking for our motorcycle.

Lack of restaurants in village in September

Great hotel but very quiet later in September. Lydia the receptionist/bar staff/cleaner etc. was a star and so helpful. The area is great for scenery and hiking but late September is limited as most places ade closed.

Very expensive for what you get. The rooms are large but overall it’s pretty basic. Breakfast is an expensive extra, there are no tea& coffee facilities in the room and very patchy WiFi. No other amenities/ facilities available. Everything well kept but VERY dated, given they charge so much is strange that nothing seems to be reinvested back into the hotel

Amazing view, clean rooms and friendly staff
