  The facilities are superb. A swimming pool with sun loungers and a tennis court in well maintained grounds with ample car parking. Shamefully, neither I nor my friends are fluent in French, but the lovely reception staff were very patient and helpful. Although there is no bar, drinks are available, and, again, the receptionist will helpfully deliver them to your outside table. Breakfast, as usual, was buffet style. The food, hot and cold, was well presented, delicious, and frequently restocked. The rooms are large and comfortable, with some of those on the ground floor having access via sliding doors to the garden. Beautifully clean. The only caveat is the location. If you want to visit Foix, it's a 30-minute walk each way, and for some reason, there is virtually no local taxi service. Taxi phone numbers were called, but no taxis were available. But that's not the fault of the hotel, hence the 5 star review. I really enjoyed my 5 night stay at the hotel, and I heartily recommend it.

  We stayed in this hotel on our way to Andorra. It's within walking distance to the city centre (25 min walk). We were pleasantly surprised. The room was very spacious, clean and modern. It had a great big bathroom. There was a good variety of food for breakfast (cheese, ham, eggs, pastry). The hotel has a pool which is not very common for a 3 star hotel. Also the staff was very friendly and helpful.

  OK for the price but the photos don't show that it is sandwiched between an industrial park and a highway. So not as quiet and isolated as expected. Air-conditioned but you can't turn on the fan without the chiller and you won't want the window open due to the highway noise. Room had a small second room with a sofa, up two stairs and then down two stairs from the bedroom. The bathroom is off the separate room so in the dark you need a flashlight to navigate the unequal height stairs just to get to the bathroom. Toilet was the noisiest thing ever, flushing it caused the building to shake -- truly bizarre. Breakfast buffet was minimal, this is France but the croissant were dry and flavorless and the fancy automated coffee machine produced weak and unsatisfying coffee. Wi-Fi was worthless, kept connecting then disconnecting two seconds later, connecting then disconnecting two seconds later, over and over. Foix is a nice little town but don't walk from the hotel on a hot day -- the route is sun blasted and wouldn't be pleasant. However, paying for parking in town was absurdly confusing on a machine with bad instructions and the labels on critical buttons were worn off. We found a nice brew pub (Brasserie de la Fourche) next to the river in Foix.
