Air vs train is a real debate, unlike in the U.S. where rail travel is almost non existent. Or unbearable at best. We needed to get from London to Lourdes, and air was the best way to get there. Took RyanAir (which I don't recommend on anyone) and flew from Stanstead to Lourdes. Smooth flight down and landed on the single runway of the small airport. Surprising though to see it as a mini aircraft storage facility as we saw some old widebodies parked and obviously in storage on the side. We disembarked via stairs onto the tarmac and made our way to immigration. They only had one intake officer, but it was a relatively quick process for the 125 or so pax. We walked out to the terminal area and was out of the actual building in like 50 seconds. Even when we left we got there super early for our 6am flight. The terminal wasn't even open yet and we sat. Someone came a checked us in, but there was probably 10 people there for the flight. Check in was quick and made our way through security and to the gates in 30 seconds. Not much in the way of food and drink, just a small area for coffee and random snacks, so bring your own. Good clean little airport. Recommend flying in and out if you need to get to Lourdes.

One of the best parts of the hotel. Call ahead and they will set up the parking for you in their small parking lot. The reason for the loss of stars, the pictures show a cafe and outdoor eating area. They are there but it's not open. Dinner is a pre set menu for a fixed price. Breakfast was a small continental breakfast. They should say the cafe is not open and there is no one to give you wine on the terrace. That there is no a la cart menu or a buffet like it says on the street.

The Eliseo is a charming hotel right near the Domain. It feels a bit dated but that's part of its…read morecharm. The very small elevators can fit four people (even though its posted capacity is 8). They take a very long time during high-traffic times to get to the lobby when you press the button. Some people just end up taking the stairs. The bathrooms are small. The counter isn't very big. The shower is in the tub, which you'd have to climb up into it. It feels a bit precarious, the tub surface is slanted, and it could use more handle bars to help getting in and out. You'd need to be extra careful. The food is repetitive; they should put more variety in their menu for pilgrimage groups. It's good for the first couple days, a bit tiring after that. The restaurants around here aren't very good either. But the prices are good -- the shops around the Domain don't price gouge. It is near the entrance to the Domain. The Saint Joseph Gate is four blocks away. The Saint Joseph Gate opens at 5AM, and you'll enjoy taking an early morning stroll there by yourself.

I must have emailed them several times for questions before our arrival and with the time difference, my emails are answered within 24 hours. The moment we checked in, we were greeted by Doris. Her sweet smile welcomed us warmly and made sure we got everything we need to make our stay comfortably. It was nice to meet her as we communicated few times through emails. She gave us information for the restaurants, gave us coupon for some establishments, the entrance to Grotto, wifi info, etc. We had the Triple room and is quite big compared to the typical european (small) rooms. It has a large bath tub & shower. It was perfect as my mother has limited mobility and using the european tub means it will be difficult for her. The whole bathroom is "senior friendly" (meaning it has handrails in the toilet & portable chair in the shower. It was very spacious. We had a double & single beds in the room and it was comfortable beds; we slept as were at home. There are 2 elevators for usage & one is larger than the other. There is no restaurant during our stay; however, the cafe (see suggested Breakfast & Dinner picture) at the next hotel is connected at the Panorama. You can access it through outside too. We have our breakfast here always as we have our favorite & wonderful person "Esperanza". Sometimes we have our full breakfast or just plain croissant that are to die for along with the cappuccino with fresh crema! We have our dinner here too as there are only few restaurants that are open for dinner near the area. We prefer to have dinner at this cafe as it is fast and excellent service. Though the food choices are limited, it's bearable. As for Lunch, definitely our favorite cafe is "Cafe Les Brancardiers"! This cafe I believe they serve breakfast too but we always come to this cafe for lunch. They have wide selection of food and definitely SUPERB!!!! This is our ultimate FAVORITE! Unfortunately, they close around 3pm or 4pm; otherwise, we will have our dinner here too. We tried the other restaurant "Sauveur Restaurant" but VERY, VERY DISAPPOINTED with the service. We got there just when they opened and ordered immediately. We had the pre-fix menu and it took them 30 mins to serve the salad then another 30 mins for the main entree. The other table had their food immediately even though we were there first. After having disappointed with the food, we decided not to have our dessert (even it comes with it).Our waiter never came back to our table as he knew we were upset with his service. After we paid, it took them again another 15 mins before we got our change. We had to hail someone just to get their attention. REALLY BAD SERVICE...I DON'T RECOMMEND THIS AT ALL! This is the only BAD experience in our trip. The Grotto's side entrance is about less than a mile away, very convenient from the hotel. Big thanks to all the staff of Hotel Panorama and most especially to Doris! Overall, one of the best hotels we've stayed and the next time we're in Lourdes, we will definitely stay in the hotel again. Excellent hotel & staff!
