This is now called Hotel Spa Vamcel and i think it is part of the Inter Hotel chain. It is obviously very recently renovated, and as such is very fresh, modern, spotless and well equipped.The comfort rooms are large, with a balcony. The double bed is very comfy, and the room has TV, fridge and furniture. The bathroom has a shower with multi nozzles (overhead or full body). The Spa complex is excellent with lovely decorated pool area, Jacuzzi, steam room and sauna.This is all included. There are extra charges for treatments and the Spa Bier. This appears to be private hot tub baths with beer pumps to help yourself - but it is very over priced. The free Spa is perfectly adequate and local Pyrenees bier is E3 a bottle in the bar. There is a sport Bar next door, but it closes at 6.30pm. (it is a sports shop/museum with a bar inside!) Round the corner is a separte restaurant with good food and drinks. The only slight negative is the location. It is in a very quite location just past a retail/industrial estate. However, many rooms look out onto trees/hills and it means it is very quiet and peaceful. You wouldn't maybe want to spend the whole day there, but its an ideal base to explore Pau, or venture into the Pyrenees (45 mins drive). The ladies on reception/breakfast are lovely. 3 of the 4 speak English and all are very friendly, helpful and always give you a smile and greeting. Breakfast is a great buffet, although the only hot cooked items are scrambled egg and bacon (not a full English, but this is France). the rest of the buffet makes up for it, with cheeses,ham,croissants, pastries, breads, cakes, fresh fruit, hot drinks and juices, yogurts, and a great machine that squeezes fresh oranges. I .loved this place and stay in quite a few hotels with work. It only has 40 rooms, so is much more friendly and quiet than big chains, but still has the facilities. (very basic gym of cycling machine and running machine)
