Hotels in Pau: what our guests say

Ostal Pau Universite, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western
"Great location and nice hotel"

NJDbilbao, 29 Mars 2026

I stayed here with a school group for two nights, and I would happily return. The hotel and rooms were very clean and comfortable, and the location very quiet. The staff were all friendly and helpful and the breakfast offered a variety. The location was good, with public transport options around the corner as well as a small shopping centre and various eateries.

"They are the best"

Phoenyx K, 18 Août 2025

After a very difficult experience at another hotel in Pau, I was left outside in the sun, exhausted and trying to find a safe place to stay. I am disabled and cannot manage stairs easily, and the previous place had put me on the 5th floor with a broken elevator. Things felt overwhelming until I arrived at Ostal Pau University Sure Hotel. From the moment we arrived, Daniela and Tibra went far above and beyond anything I could have hoped for. They didn't just check me in—they made sure I was comfortable, safe, and cared for. They placed me on the ground floor so I wouldn't have to tackle stairs, helped store perishable food in the refrigerator, and even assisted in other small ways to make my arrival easier. Their warmth, kindness, and generosity made a huge difference during a stressful time. They welcomed my son and me with compassion and care, showing genuine humanity in every interaction. Their extraordinary hospitality turned what could have been a difficult experience into one I will always remember with gratitude. I hope the management and ownership of this property recognize how valuable Daniela and Tibra are to their team. They deserve praise, recognition, and reinforcement for a job extraordinarily well done. Thank you again for making our stay in Room 106 so welcoming and memorable. With all my gratitude, (Room 106)

I only stayed for 1 night but should l be in the area again l will most certainly see if they have any room. Merci!

"Ideal for a stopover in Pau"

Mike W, 20 Juillet 2022

Simple, clean, air-conditioned and good value for money we would have no hesitation in recommending this hotel to anyone planning a day or so in Pau. Not all that easy to find I initially but with good nearby transport links into the city. It was ideal for what we wanted and very pleasant and helpful staff.

"Staff made us feel like home"

91alexiaa, 20 Juin 2022

Excellent location, staff es super helpful made us feel like home. Parking onsite. We had a short stay and there were 5 of us so the price was super affordable. To visit the center of the city you need to drive in a straight line for few minutes and parking is very close to everything.

"Great value and extremely helpful staff"

kirbymjs, 19 Janvier 2020

Stayed for two nights when visiting Pau to watch Leicester Tigers. Drove down from Limoges Airport (4 hours) and realised that we would not arrive until c. 10pm whereas Reception closes at 9pm. We rang ahead and the lady agreed that she would stay until 10pm to give us our keys - how good was that?? We arrived at 9.55pm and were able to collect the keys and the combination for the front door. Small, comfortable, clean rooms and an inexpensive continental breakfast. A restaurant next door and a number of places in the vicinity particularly Au Bureau which we found to be very good.

Our Best Western hotels in Pau

Head to the south-west of France, to the prefecture of the Pyrénées-Atlantiques, for an authentic holiday between green surroundings and sites steeped in history. Capital of the Béarn, the royal city of Pau has so much to reveal to you. Birthplace of Henri IV, King of France and Navarre, Pau boasts a sublime panorama and a prime geographical position. Just 1 hour from Biarritz and 45 minutes from the ski resorts and the Pyrenees, the city is an ideal holiday destination, whatever your wishes.

Stay in a hotel in Pau during a tourist trip and finally understand the words of Lamartine: "Pau has the most beautiful view of the land in the world, just as Naples has the most beautiful view of the sea". A major tourist destination, you will enjoy strolling through the narrow streets of the château district or along the Boulevard des Pyrénées.

Immerse yourself in its history and discover a magnificent region at the same time.

The charm of Pau, a historic city

A town steeped in history, Pau is best visited slowly and without hurrying. Between the majestic mountains that surround it, the freshness of the Gave and the Pyrenees range, Pau is full of architectural treasures and true historical gems.

Start your discovery of the town at the Place Royale, where the statue of King Henri IV proudly stands. Then head to the funicular, which connects the upper and lower parts of the city. With more than 600,000 visitors every year and its unique architecture, this site is a must.

The Place Reine Marguerite lets you better appreciate the full extent of Pau's treasures. The Joffre district also deserves a visit, especially no. 46. But we won't tell you any more. Continue to the Maison Francis Miot at 48 Rue Joffre, which is a feast for the eyes.

The historic district of Pau is a major site for its authenticity, its cobblestones, narrow streets and half-timbered houses. It is pleasant to stroll through the historic heart of the city before taking gourmet breaks to taste local specialities. Poule au pot, garbure royale, milk-fed lamb and foie gras are among the essential dishes of the local cuisine.

Finally, what would a stay in a hotel in Pau be without paying special attention to the château, residence of Marguerite and Henri II of Navarre, the grandparents of Henri IV? The whole history of France unfolds before your astonished eyes. Then head to the Place Clémenceau for shopping, lazing and relaxation. For a moment of relaxation and a stroll, you can go for a walk in the Parc Beaumont.
