“A very nice hotel for the end of our GR11 9 day hike with exceptionally helpful and nice staff.”
The Hotel is as is suggests tall and thin. It is in a great location for entering the town from the GR11. The room window had a wonderful view of the town. The church bells sounded beautiful and thankfully did not go on all night. The staff were very helpful and friendly and even gave us breakfast at 6 am so that we could catch our 6.30 bus,

“Grand Hotel Benasque”
This was a true Wes Anderson experience. Charmingly retro, not updated for years- thankfully. For some it will be v basic.

“Basic No Frills Hotel. Lovely staff.”
This is a very basic no frills hotel but you get what you pay for. The staff are lovely and very helpful and there is secure parking on site if you require it. The beds were comfy. Breakfast is included and it is ok. We had a great coffee at the bar in the afternoon, courtesy of a lovely Australian lady working at the hotel.
