Hotels near Forum BD, Manosque

2 nights in family room at Ibis Manosque. This was a great stay in a recently refreshed Ibis hotel. It's immediately next to the motorway and close to the L'Occitaine factory and shop. There is also an Ibis Budget on the same site. The Ibis breakfast is very good. They also serve small plates of food after breakfast (it's a more limited offering than a restaurant). Next to the hotel is a Courtpaille Restaurant (serves steaks and chicken mainly). Although the signage shows that it opens 7 days a week, it was closed on Sundays when we were there. There is also a fish and a pizza restaurant nearby to the hotel but both were closed during our visit. Manosque town centre is a good 10 minutes away from the hotel. The hotel has an outdoor swimming pool, which is very welcome when the weather is hot. This hotel is a good base for visiting the lavender fields of Provence. Staff friendly, hotel clean, parking plenty. Standard Ibis rooms. Comfy bed and few frills.

Nous voulions un pied-à-terre pour découvrir la région. Très belle découverte! Endroit spacieux et calme . Une chambre spacieuse, très propre, décorée avec goût + une bonne literie. Un emplacement pour se garer face à notre chambre de plein pied. Des espaces extérieurs où nous avons pu nous poser, terrasse, jardin ombragé avec petit terrain de pétanque et surtout profiter de la piscine. Le petit déjeuné y est très complet, de qualité avec des produits de régions et fait maison. Des belles planches mixes sont également proposées le soir, ce que nous avons dégusté avec une bonne bouteille de vin du secteur, dans le jardin avec notre petit chien! Oui les animaux sont acceptés un plus pour nous. Mais surtout un super accueil du jeune couple, nouveaux propriétaires des lieux . Souriants, avenants, une vraie gentillesse. Tous les ingrédients étaient là pour passer un agréable séjour. Nous reviendrons sans hésiter si nous devions repasser dans la région..

The hotel is very French farmhouse, we like it very much. The French beauty at the front desk is very NICE. Breakfast is a little bit simple. Each room has kitchenware, which prompted us to do a ”French farmhouse”. Great!

Lovely hotel this. Great part of town. Has the potential to be amazing I just feel they need to refine a few aspects of their product. Note- our air conditioner didn’t flow great and room was quite warm which did affect sleep quality, the chrome cast streaming service didn’t work properly and was very glitchy, a fire alarm went off in the building for no reason, our shower tap was broken and didn’t function properly, and finally housekeeping cleaning next room must of slammed the door 15 times going in and out creating unbelievably loud noise for no reason.

We unfortunately only got to spend one night at La Bastide Saint Georges but wish it could have been longer. The hotel is just amazing. Wonderful location and spectacular grounds. Walking distance to Forcalquier which is a really pretty town. We stayed in Amandine which was essentially like a mini villa on the end of a terrace as part of a Voyage Prive deal. It looks brand new so I think these rooms are a recent edition. A small terrace with table and chairs, small area of grass and two deck chairs. The room as air con, large double bed, TV, Wi-Fi, tea/coffee facilities, fridge and a huge wet room shower area. Really nice. Great pool area and large area of grounds with various sun beds etc. The restaurant area is amazing and we had our welcome cocktail on the terrace with lovely views over the surrounding countryside. Breakfast (also in the restaurant area) is superb. Loads of choice at the buffet from sweet to savoury and runs until 1030. Staff were lovely and really helpful. There was some confusion about the pool (heated) it seems it opens at 0900 technically but can potentially be opened earlier by prior request (which it was during our stay). My partner had a 30 minute massage which was very good apparently. If I was being exceptionally pedantic my only gripe was at checkout when we noticed the price of the massage was €60 and not €55 as previously advised prior to our stay. It appears the employee sent us the tariff for last season via email so an innocent mistake. The monetary difference was immaterial but out of principle it would have been a nice gesture for the hotel to acknowledge the error on their part and honour the lower price. We will definitely return, one night is simply not long enough to do it justice.

An absolute gem of a hotel. The staff are incredibly friendly and hospitable. Nothing was too much trouble! Room was clean and comfortable - excellent shower! They have a really good restaurant in-house, which I can highly recommend. Excellent wine list too. We found it to be the perfect place to use as a base for exploring the wonderful countryside and villages around this part of France. There are some fantastic walks, hikes and trails - and if I still rode a motorcycle, some of the roads near the hotel really do look like they need riding! Cannot recommend highly enough.
