Made an en-route stop on our way to Spain and for this it was a very good choice; the hotel has been run by the same family since 1925 and combines the traditional and modern. It is traditional, in respect of the decoration and ambiance in the dining and breakfast rooms, and modern in respect of the decoration of bedrooms and facilities. No noisy plumbing, flock wallpaper and 20watt bulbs; the bedroom was light and airy and my wife described the shower as the best she had ever used in France.

The menu choices were a bit limited; the €26 and €30 menus each had a choice of 2 starters, 2 mains (Meat or Fish) and two Desserts. For both menus, the Fish was “Fish from the market that day”, my wife had the Veal whilst I had lamb which meant that we chose from different menus. I would have preferred one of the starters on the other menu! There is of course an A La Carte option but a single menu with say four choices for each course would be preferable for me. That is not to say I was unhappy with my choice, all the elements were enjoyed by us both. 

Breakfast was traditional, there was a selection of homemade preserves with hand written labels, for which my schoolboy French was insufficient, ham and cheese, cereals and, of course, baguettes and croissants. Also there was a tray of fresh eggs, which presumably could be cooked to order, but you then need the language skills to find and talk to someone to arrange this. The nod to modernity was a Coffee machine but I would have preferred the traditional pot of coffee and jug of hot milk.

Overall we were made very welcome, the hotel is well maintained, menus are based on the locally available produce, and, whilst choice may be a little limited, the dishes are well cooked and presented. So, for some traditional French hospitality at a fair price, Chez Germaine is a good choice.

Combines Traditional and Modern

Clean hotel, comfortable room. The restaurant of the hotel is amazing. Anyway the breakfast is not worthy the 11 euros it costs. After having dinner there, maybe our expectations were too high, but variety and freshness to re consider. The town is little and there is nothing to see. Good for a night passing through!

Good for the night

This hotel is not up to the standard of other Logis Hotels and is in need of upgrading it is worth noteing that this hotel group is not like your normal group in that all the hotels are run on a franchise basis and as such unllke other groups such as Mercure, Premier Inns, Travelodge etc. every hotel is totally different with a large difference between hotels

upgrade required

This was our second stopover en-route to Spain. The hotel is located a the charming village of Geus-D'oloron near Oloron St Marie with some stunning views of the Pyrenees.

Check-In, Pretty straightforward after some basic French with the receptionist. She did not speak hardly any English but she was very pleasant and we got there in the end. We arrived on a whim so we dropped lucky once again!

Rooms, Very old style rooms but were presented very clean and comfortable which is all you can as for. The room was about £65 (approx) which did not include breakfast.

Food, Dinner- We had a meal and drinks in the restaurant located next to the hotel. The food was superb with good choices and cooked very nicely indeed. Can not fault at all. 
Breakfast- This really was the hotels only let down. I have learned that the French hotels I have stayed in, the breakfasts really are not good and this was no exception. Very limited choice and to be honest at £7 (approx) each, I think you are better off just having a look around for a 'Boulangerie' for a coffee and croissant which would probably cost a lot less. You live and learn!

Overall, Generally not a bad place to stay with the views of the Pyrenees make it worth every penny!
