This hotel was fantastic and the owners will treat you like family! Very intimate setting complete…read morewith dogs and a cat. Breakfast every morning was so good and we treated ourselves to dinner one night but we wish we had both nights since there is no restaurant nearby that even comes close. Will recommend La Casueña to anyone!

This hotel has been favoured by helpers, doctors and nurses of the Society of Our Lady of Lourdes…read morefor over 25 years. Christine and her staff work tirelessly to look after their guests - be they tourists, pilgrims, pilgrimage helpers or stagiaires. Nothing seems to much to ask them. The Sainte Marie is conveniently located near the Pont St Michel right at the entrance to the Sanctuaries and overlooks the rapidly flowing river Gave. The sound of rushing water is everywhere which, for me at least, is very soothing. Accomodation can be booked on a B&B basis or full/half board. For those on a budget there are rooms which can booked for 3 or 4 sharing. The hotel has recently been refurbished and all rooms are en suite and have satellite TV and air-conditioning. There is a hotel TV lounge at the reception level which has comfortable armchairs and coffee tables. A small bar next to the reception serves a cosy seating area where you can relax after a long day. For visitors with cars there is a locked car park in front of the hotel.

This hotel was perfect for our recent pilgrimage to the Lourdes sanctuary. The thing that stands…read moreout the most was how warmly we were greeted by Christina. The rooms are simple, and very clean. The breakfast was typiquement francais - with croissant, tartine, juice, and a hot drink. The view from our room was spectacular and the sound of the river was very peaceful. We hope to come back again, and when we do, we will stay at Hotel Sainte Marie!

DO NOT STAY HERE!! Warning!! Staff is rude, there is no hot…read morewater until the morning, the food was inedible! My room looked like prison cell. The elevator broke several times. The pictures on here are very misleading. The breakfast was basically bread, juice, and some strange ham slices. I was with a large group of people and they could not keep up with their staff of three people. The only good thing was having a bathroom in the room. I normally don't write terrible reviews if the staff tried, but they did not. I attached a photo of what I was served for dinner one night. It was a huge pile of undercooked rice, and square piece of mystery meat. The starter was a burned hot pocket of sorts. Dessert was unflavored yogurt with a jelly packet. Mmm mmm disgusting! Horrible experience, if you have kids they do not have kids meals they get the crap they give you. Oh and they don't serve wine or beer.

Can't beat the location...walking distance to train station and the grotto. Hotel rooms are clean…read moreand the breakfast was worth the price. Lourdes tip: do not miss the candlelight procession. I believe the procession is available year round with the exception of October through November. General tip: if you will be in Paris during your trip, I would suggest a day trip to Nevers where saint bernadette is enshrined. Nevers is a 2 hour train ride from Paris.
