Hotel was good however the location was a fair way out of town, for the price I paid and the time I booked (tour de France) this wasn't a problem at all.

good for the money just a slight drain smell

First of all this isn't in Pau but in Lon which is on the outskirts. Secondly it's in an industrial area so you definately need to be driving a vehicle to get here. The place is like a poor mans Travelodge essentially. Inside it felt like a space capsule, small bed with plastic flooring and a tiny pod which contains the toilet and shower. Overall functional for a stop off but don't expect to do any sight seeing unless you're driving.

For the price fairly good value but the air conditioning did not work efficiently.

First of all, checking into this hotel is by an automated system, requiring you to insert the card you used to pay for the booking. This doesn't work for Expedia bookings and so it took a long time to just get into the hotel. The staff from the neighbouring Kyriad hotel (same owners) were absolutely brilliant at sorting the problem out, but it took a long time and a bit of initial persuasion. They explained this is a problem with all credit cards registered outside of France. The room itself is what you may expect from a youth hostel, with the addition of a television. The 'bathroom' was a a toilet and a shower in a small cupboard. There are no creature comforts here, except for the rather strange creature we found on the wall, who seemed very comfortable to me. The bed is fairly comfortable and the air conditioning helped in the heat, although its output is best described as "gentle". Downstairs, there is a vending machine for things like coffee, chocolate etc. Location wise, this hotel is not in the centre of Pau and we saw little evidence of public transport nearby. We had hired a car at the airport, which turned out to be really useful to explore the wonderful area of the Pyrenees. The one reason we may consider a return here is the excellent staff who were unfailingly polite, smiley and helpful.
