Lack of tour inside the ground in English and I was there for 24 hrs when I found out about the rooms in which Bernadette used and died. Then I join a Spanish group tour.

Everything: location, mass, spiritual place for meditation.

The commute going to and from property was challenging, definitely language barrier too.

Pleasant and was alright

It cannot be said the room is comfortable. In my case it was OK as I was visiting St. Bernadette so this modest style is kind of feeing authenticity. I would expect a better bed and bathroom for an ordinary tourism or holiday. This is different.

This is more than a perfect stay for pilgrimage to St Bernadette. Experience is probably very close to what sisters in the past including St Bernadette were having. Everything is clean but modest and least so it cannot be said value for money in the meaning of this modern world. It looks once sisters were using these rooms. Noviciat where sisters used to gather is in the same building. This is where St Bernadette talked about St Mary to all the sisters when arrived. The room where St Bernadette passed away was on the same floor, may be just 30 steps or something. It is so easy to visit St Bernadette herself in the same building and pray. A huge garden where St Bernadette went for a walk is there so I followed her pass there up to the statue of St Mary that St Bernadette said this is most similar to St Mary she met. This statue is at far end of the garden so better ask the reception where otherwise it will be missed easily. It is as if integrated in the world of St Bernadette. In this sense this place is so special. Unforgettable experience for the lifetime. I arrived around 13:00 instead of 16:00 the time I said in the message to the place in advance. There was no problem. Receptionists vary. Some of them are very kind and friendly some are not. Once the gate and the door are closed at 18:00 a separate code given is to open both of them.

The room is really within the facilities/compound where the incorruptible body of St. Bernadette was also placed. And it is really a one life time opportunity to pray and to ask for graces in front of her.

Plastic undersheet on the bed was a bit much. coffee at breakfast wasn't very nice.

Beautiful convent - worth a visit for that alone and to look around the gardens. Breakfast provision was good (except coffee) Good facilities. we were able to store our bikes no problem.

A very unique and inspiring place to stay in Nevers.

To get into the hotel/sanctuary was a bit of a search. The room very compact. The breakfast is gloomy. Does it have to do with "it's a shrine?"

The staff are friendly. The room is hygienic/clean.

house cleaner that come to your door at 7:30am and start talking and making noise. there’s no privacy. this is the last time I book in hostel. I rather take an Airbnb.

For it being a Catholic organization, I was really sad to see that there were not crucifixes in each room and not more lovely, timeless Catholic art. This is a place where pilgrims from all over the world come and it would be nice if it felt more sacred and less like a sterile hospital complex. Modern art and architecture sort of take away from the ambiance and historical continuity and don’t really fit with the exterior (an example of this is the strange modern “table” altar in St Bernadette’s room where she died).

clean, friendly staff, safe

everything it’s so peaceful, welcoming

the lack of en-suite facilities although we knew that in advance and the showers/ toilets were adequate and very clean.

great location in the centre of Nevers. a beautiful palatial building within its own grounds and private secure parking. friendly helpful staff.
