The Excelsior Hotel is an old hotel really just steps away from the entrance to the area of the cathedral and grotto. The front desk staff were all very pleasant and kind and spoke good English. Our double room was dated but it was clean and comfortable and very very spacious, especially by French standards. We also had a very nice view from our window. The TV wasn't the newest but we had CNN International, so no complaints! Free wifi available in the lobby.
Would stay again if I'm ever in Lourdes again. Not a bad deal for 50 euros in July.
