Guest Reviews
Le Relais de Boralde enjoys a well-regarded location in the town, making it a convenient choice for travelers in the region. Its proximity to the city of Espalion and the picturesque Tarn river offers guests a pleasant and scenic setting. The hotel is strategically positioned between two charming villages, providing ample opportunities for delightful exploration.
The countryside ambiance adds to the charm, offering a tranquil retreat despite its position on the edge of the road. The Boralde river flows nearby and the soothing sound of the water can be heard from the rooms when the windows are open, enhancing the peaceful atmosphere.
Ease of access and nearby parking make the hotel an ideal stopover spot with many guests appreciating the convenience. The location is perhaps slightly distant from the city center and the Santiago de Compostela path, but this is offset by the calm and quiet environment even when situated by the road. While some areas are under construction, the overall setting remains magnificent and welcoming.
At Le Relais de Boralde, guests consistently highlight the breakfast as a highlight of their stay. Emphasized by phrases such as good, delicious and very good, it's clear that the breakfast offerings leave a generally positive impression. A traditional and hearty breakfast experience awaits, often featuring local products that add a genuine touch. Guests appreciate the homemade jam, which is highly valued and mentioned in multiple reviews.
While the breakfast is often described as simple, it is also noted to be generous and plentiful. Classic staples like a quarter of a baguette, a bit of jam, honey, butter orange juice, a fruit and compote make up the basic daily menu. This simple fare is perceived as efficient and a good way to start the day.
However, there are some areas where guests feel improvements could be made. Concerns about variety and quantity come up frequently with some finding the selection limited and noting that the breakfast can be too light. Additionally, the absence of pastries has been mentioned as a downside, although the price of €7.50 makes it a decent option. Timing can also be an issue, as the 8 am start time may not be ideal for early risers or hikers.
The spacious breakfast room provides a comfortable setting, though the service pace is sometimes slow since the meals are served table by table. Despite these minor downsides, the overall sentiment points to a breakfast experience that, while simple, largely meets and sometimes exceeds guest expectations.
