Very well located just after the bridge in Espalion. The rooms are very clean and well laid out. There's a drying area, and the communal laundry is clean and dry after dinner. A good meal, simple yet satisfying and so invigorating. Highly...

Very friendly and helpful owner of very conveniently located gite (hostal) on the GR 65 or Chemin du Puy on the route to Santiago de Compostelle. We were able to machine wash our laundry and have it machine dried--a real plus on days of sho...

I was on a cycling tour and for my stop in Espalion, I chose to stay at this gîte, which is mainly frequented by hikers. I read quite a few negative reviews, but frankly, for the very reasonable price, it's excellent. The rooms are in share...

Friendly host, small bathroom for a 5-bed dorm with an internal toilet. Evening meals are expensive for what they are.

Very basic accommodation with very poor value for money: - Creaky bunk beds that are too small (if you're over 1.80m tall, you'll touch both ends at the same time) - Meals consisting of boxed soup and pasta (which is mandatory for staying...

Poor value for money. The owner failed to create a pilgrim's spirit, as he only made a quick stop to collect payment. The food offered during meals (dinner and breakfast) was of very low quality (from the local Netto supermarket). We expect...

Absolutely avoid this place! The food is unappetizing, the hygiene is appalling, the bunk beds are very flimsy and tip over when you climb up, and the bathroom is even worse. Very expensive considering the poor quality of service!
