Plan your stay at Refugio Lucien Briet

Mountain hostel in Torla-Ordesa, next to Ordesa y Monte Perdido National Park, with a restaurant, bar and rooms for groups of up to 16 people.

Room types

Rooms range from an 11 m² double option to 30 m² family spaces that can accommodate groups of up to 16 people. The double, triple and quadruple rooms have private bathrooms; the double room includes a bathtub. The two family room options share a bathroom and have different capacities, for six or up to sixteen guests. All the room types described have heating, and several include a private entrance and tiled or marble floors.

The layout varies according to size: the double room has a double bed, while the options for more guests have bunk beds. There is an important difference to bear in mind when packing: bed linen is included only in the double room with a private bathroom. In the other rooms, you must bring a sleeping bag and towels, and blankets are not provided. You can therefore choose between a private stay for two or shared family dormitories designed for groups.
