Nestled close to the city center, it offers easy access to a variety of amenities, including bars, shops, coffee houses and restaurants. Despite its proximity to a major road, the hotel maintains a tranquil atmosphere, which guests appreciate. Convenient parking right at the foot of the hotel adds to the ease of stay, especially for those traveling by car.
The hotel is also noted for its close distance to the train station, being just a ten-minute walk away, which is advantageous for guests without personal vehicles. The central location next to the town hall square and in front of the old hospital enhances the historical charm of the place. Additionally, the warm and friendly welcome from the staff contributes positively to the overall experience, making it not just a well-placed hotel but also a welcoming home away from home.
The spacious rooms and excellent value for money further add to its appeal, making Hôtel Labat a compelling choice for travelers seeking comfort and convenience in Orthez.
Hôtel Labat's breakfast offerings have received a mix of feedback from guests. Overall, the majority of reviews highlight positive aspects of the breakfast experience. Many guests describe the breakfast as good, plentiful and hearty with fresh croissants and nice fresh bread and coffee being some of the standouts. Several guests note the quality as very good with some even calling it impeccable and good value for money. The hotel's unique setting, including having breakfast next to a climbing wall, adds an interesting twist to the morning routine.
The welcoming staff further enhances the breakfast experience for many, making it an element worth recommending. On the weekends, the breakfast seems to particularly shine, being noted as very good during those days. However, not all feedback is positive; a few guests felt the breakfast was not plentiful or varied enough for the price and there were instances where breakfast was not offered or planned but then unexpectedly canceled, leading to some disappointment. Despite these occasional drawbacks, the consistent mention of a hearty and satisfactory breakfast highlights it as a generally positive aspect of staying at Hôtel Labat.
Hôtel Labat, an intriguing establishment housed in what was once an old clinic, presents a unique but somewhat polarizing accommodation experience. The building's history is evident in the design and functionality of its rooms, which still feature elements like oxygen outlets and a somewhat sterile, hospital-like atmosphere.
On a positive note, the rooms are described as large with some boasting two big windows that permit an abundance of natural light. The presence of a refrigerator in the room is a convenient feature for guests. The cleanliness of the rooms is generally satisfactory, although there have been occasional lapses.
However, several areas for improvement have been highlighted. Guests have noted that the towels are too small and the overall room maintenance, including cleaning, can be inconsistent. Some visitors mentioned outdated and defective facilities, an uncomfortable bed and rooms that are difficult to locate within the hotel. Additionally, issues like the fitted sheets being too small, lack of lamps next to the bed and the dated, simple mechanical ventilation system have been reported.
The bathroom and toilet areas, although functional, have been critiqued for their rustic design and lack of comfort. A few guests also faced disappointments with room descriptions not matching expectations, such as rooms lacking windows.
Despite the hospital-like décor and the need for better upkeep and renovations, the hotel's unique concept and striking façade continue to attract curious travelers. Nonetheless, potential guests should be aware of the mixed experiences reported by previous visitors.
Hôtel Labat presents a mixed experience when it comes to the comfort of its beds. The general consensus highlights a sense of variability in the quality of bedding. Many guests found the bedding to be comfortable, describing their beds as comfortable and appreciating the cozy feel. Some remarks even emphasized the very good mattresses, which provided a good night's sleep.
There were several positive notes on the family rooms being comfortable and some guests enjoyed the unique, somewhat clinical ambiance of the hotel. However, the reviews also bring attention to some persistent issues. There are mentions of poor quality mattresses, beds being too soft and occasional instability. Despite these drawbacks, many guests still deemed the overall experience as good value for money.
In summary, while Hôtel Labat appears to generally offer comfortable bedding, there are inconsistencies in terms of mattress quality and bed stability that future guests might want to consider.
When it comes to the cleanliness of Hôtel Labat, guest experiences present a mixed bag. Many visitors commend the establishment for its clean rooms and overall cleanliness, highlighting the well-maintained spaces that contribute to a satisfactory stay. Impeccable cleanliness is noted by a few guests with some emphasizing the quiet environment that further enhances their stay.
However, not all feedback is glowing. Some guests report that the cleanliness, particularly in the bathrooms, needs improvement. Specific criticisms include dust behind furniture, lingering odors in hallways and less-than-pristine conditions of showers and toilets. Instances of basic amenities not being replenished and infrequent housekeeping during longer stays also detract from the overall experience.
The hotel’s ability to provide clean sheets and occasionally spotless conditions is offset by recurring issues such as stale smells and neglected cleaning tasks. Consequently, while some guests find Hôtel Labat satisfactorily clean, others believe there is definite room for improvement, particularly in maintaining bathroom hygiene and ensuring more consistent housekeeping practices.
Hôtel Labat receives high praise for its exceptional staff, making it a standout choice for travelers prioritizing warm hospitality. Guests consistently highlight the friendliness and professionalism of the staff, noting that interactions were consistently pleasant and accommodating. The reception team is particularly lauded for their kindness and helpfulness, often going out of their way to ensure guests have a comfortable and enjoyable stay. The warm and informal contact, combined with their readiness to assist in practical matters like parking, truly enhances the overall experience. From the welcoming demeanor at check-in to the attentive care throughout their stay, visitors feel genuinely valued and well-treated, contributing significantly to the hotel's positive reputation.
Hôtel Labat offers various parking options that guests appreciate for their convenience. The availability of free parking right outside the entrance and in front of the hotel is frequently highlighted, making it easy for guests to park their cars. The hotel's overall location and value for money are often mentioned positively and the parking facilities contribute to this. While there are some concerns about limited spaces with only about 7 to 8 spots available directly at the hotel, additional parking alternatives like parking in the town hall square provide further convenience. Guests also noted that the hotel staff were helpful, assisting with car-related issues when needed. Although space management could be improved, the free and easily accessible parking options make for a generally satisfactory experience.
