LES ETOILES

We spent a night there during our motorcycle tour in the Alps in July 2020. ||The hotel boosts several parking spots off the street so there are plenty of options for cars and motorcycles alike. ||When we arrived there was no other staff than the person at reception. He greeted us seemingly unfazed by our arrival, checked our booking and gave us the keys to our rooms, located on two different floors, despite our request to be located near each other. We were told the hotel is full and there are no such options. Later a group of French bikers arrived. 3 have booked a room and another one just came without the booking. The receptionist checked what he could do and provided him with a single room (in a hotel we were told was full), at a more preferential rate than the pre-booked rooms and see wonder: they could get their two rooms right next to each other. ||Although on the booking sites they state dinner is available and right at reception the daily menu is displayed, we were told there is no restaurant. Hence we were told to go to town and received a key for the night entrance, to be used after 2200. ||We came back from dinner just after 1930 and wanted to get a beer, only to find out from another guest that the receptionist had some urgent things to do and left, closing down the whole establishment. No bar, nothing. ||Now the rooms: they are basic, but clean. Enough for a good sleep. Pillows and mattress are comfy and the rooms quiet. The bathroom is very basic and could no with a renovation, but it was also clean. No issues with cold or hot water. ||View from the room straight up is basic but looking out to the side, one can see the sublime mountains. ||The bar area has not been tidied or cleaned since pre-winter I guess and wi-fi is only available in the rooms or the hotel building.||Breakfast is the most basic we had on our 10 day trip and selection ratios are small, so make sure you go first otherwise no luck. The croissants were good though. Hot and tasty. ||Th

A small hotel with nice friendly host. Good breakfast. ||The hotel was further away from the City Centre than we expected and we hadn't ordered dinner at the hotel. The host was nice, and since we were on bikes, said she happy for us to buy some cold food at local supermarket and eat on balcony. Very pleasant evening.

Stayed there for one night with a group of five people on our cycling holiday in the French Alpes. The rooms under the room ar tiny a the last renovation was perhaps 20 years ago. Because of the lack of space there was not even a door between the sleeping space for 3 people and the shower/toilett. 90 Euro for 3 people and a crappy breakfast for 7 Euros each is ok but we were happy to leave the place the next morning. The hotel is next to the main road from Briancon to Col de Galabier and the trafic is enormous.||In the breakfast room was a picture showing the 2011 Tour de France winner Cedal Evans with the otherwise nice and friendly owner of Auberge de l`Impossible.

Katie and Bertrand took this over about a year ago and have made this into a great choice for an overnight or few days' stay. Room 2 has long balcony at rear and space for outside evening drinks etc. Katie cooks home style which is better than most restaurants and just 18€ for three courses by reservation. Location on northern edge of town on road to Grenoble and stunning drive to some of the best views in Alps near Col de Galibier towards Valloise. Owners making many improvements and very keen to make the stay enjoyable nod comfortable. There is a hot tub and sauna available for guests and a good restaurant area for breakfast (8€) and evening meals. Please ignore any older reviews as they do not now apply. Good luck Katie and thanks to Bertrand for the lift to the station to get our hire car in Gap! John and Christine

clean, welcoming, good breakfast. the rooms are nice and they love your pet! close proximity to the mountain resorts and trails. beautiful surroundings.

Close to the city centre and to be cheap and clean it is the one. However, it was hard to sleep at night as the above neighbor was very active in his her room. The wooden floor was cringing so hard as I thought he or she was in my room. Otherwise the receptionist was very friendly and helpful.

Stayed here while on motorcycle trip through the Alps. Really friendly welcome. Parking. Breakfast available (for extra charge). Clean comfortable rooms with shower. Affordable. Only downside is it's a little out of town, but it's still walkable.

Stayed here with 2 freinds on a boarding winter trip. The owners believe totaly that the customer isnt king at all, but the owners are. This was demonstrated when asking how far from the ski lifts we were and weather extra pillows were avaiable. The owners mocked us verbally the next day, we found out the hotel is approx 2 miles from the lifts and no pillows were offered as "we already had pillows". Dont stay here, you dont need the hassle. We avioded the owners for the next 3 days.
