Brit Hôtel Bosquet

The Pyrenees


For the money, this is one of the best-value lodging options in the historic centre. Rooms are a mix of cheery yellow sponge-painting and exposed stone walls, along with oversized mirrors, touches of artwork and bright bathrooms (with blue and yellow ceramic tiles), though some rooms could use more natural light. Service is friendly.
