Good Location. Neat Rooms. - more or less a single bed apartment. Because it is serviced apartment more than a hotel, access is restricted for certain times in the day. We had difficulty in getting back to the hotel, because there was nobody at the reception to give us access to the lifts. Internet connectivity was very expensive (like all... more

I will recommend this hotel for small families for short stays. Walking distance to the shrine. more

We never made it to the La Mariale - after we had made a booking we read some dreadful reviews on it. As we did not want to use a hotel where we would have to clean our own room, provide our own towels and would be unsure if there was anyone on the front desk to let us in... more

We stayed in the La Mariale for 7 days at the end of May 2008. I was a little nervous after booking the apartment online but everything ran smoothly. Firstly my flight was delayed but the staff were very accomodating and there was someone to greet us even though we arrived close to midnight. The rooms were comfortable. However, you... more

My wife and I stayed 4 nights at le Mariale. Over all, we found the hotel and room to be acceptable. As with all European hotels, the rooms and bathroom are very small. Our room was clean and included a small kitchenette which was useful. We had a sleeper sofa which was fine for sitting but very uncomfortable for sleeping.... more

It's a good 5-10 minutes walk to the Grotto and the apartment was clean and newly renovated. Everything we need for self catering was there though you need to rent the towels if you... more

OK - having read the reviews for this place I must admit I was a bit nervous about having booked my stay here BEFORE I read the reviews. I have been to Lourdes on 6 different occassions and have stayed in various hotels. Needless to say some better than others. However, I must say that Residence le Mariale was by... more

This place was a nightmare. It might be a good place to stay for a couple of weeks or more. But for a few days, it is not worth it. When you arrive, you are asked to do a complete inventory of plates, dishes, furniture, brooms, etc. There were a large number of things missing in the room, which I... more

We stayed here for two weeks and as regular travellers to Lourdes for over 20 years this is where we will be returning. It is exactly as depicted on the website and in the photographs. more
