Exploring Biarritz was easy in this convenient centrally located small hotel. Rooms are small yet pleasant. Bathroom was spacious and had openable windows and plenty of light which was a bonus. Service was friendly. Breakfast simple and included in the hotel rate.
VERY VERY NOISEY AT NIGHT

A nice hotel spoilt by the noise.
Spent 3 nights here and we never slept because of it.
Every night awake by people who were going home from clubs or bars.
We are not ones to go to bed early.
But we had to listen to people retiring up to 5am every night.
We had room 103 that overlooks some apartments which were occupied by people that seemed to sleep in the day and party till late at night.
Shame hotel is very nice but wouldn't stay again due to the above.
Beautiful Biarritz

Booked this hotel only 4 weeks before we travelled so was really surprised how nice the hotel was. I would have expected it to be booked all season. If all you want is a base in the centre this is for you. It is a maximum of 400m from The Grande Plage. Also a similar distance to the centre of town and all the bars and restaurants. We flew in and had no car as we have been In the area before and didn't want the hassle of parking. Also at â¬1 on the bus to the railway station and â¬5.40 return to St Jean de Luz why hire a car. The hotel itself is clean and tidy with friendly staff. Also free towels and sun umbrella for the beach which saves weight in you baggage. Would recommend this hotel to anyone.
Lovely Biarritz, Ok Hotel, Parking Nightmare!

We stayed at the hotel for one night on a recent trip. Unfortunately we seemed to pick a festival weekend which meant that nearly all the hotels were fully booked and overpriced!
We paid â¬140 Euros plus city tax and without having breakfast for the night. The hotel is located a few roads in from the beach front. The location is pretty good- a bit of a walk to the main sights, bars and restaurants along the front but not a problem.
Parking is an issue- there is street parking all around the hotel which can only be paid for at a max of 4 hours at a time. There is also a break of payment time between 12-2 and then it is free from 7pm until 9am. The traffic wardens are everywhere so make sure you have plenty of change on you before you park up to avoid a fine. The nearest public parking that the manager could point me to was 200m away at the gare du midi. As our car was loaded with goods for a two week stay elsewhere we didn't really feel comfortable leaving the car somewhere so far away so had to arrange our days around trips to and from the meter!
Lobby and entrance way was quite nice and the manager helpful. We checked in and used the tiny lift to get our stuff to our 2nd floor room.
The room was pleasantly decorated but smelt faintly of tobacco. The decor was a little tired in places and the dark carpet looked like it needed a good clean but the bed was clean and comfortable. The room had air con although it never seemed to get particularly cold. Tea and Coffee facilities in the room and a large wardrobe provided good storage. An iron and board were already in the wardrobe. Our room looked across to a building opposite so we had to keep the metal shutter pulled down most of the time.
The bathroom was tiny- no room to move around at all. Toilet is squeezed in between sink and shower doors so you could only open one side of the shower doors to actually get in to it- very tight! Sink too large for the room really- badly designed!
Slightly grubby round the edges- shower tray needed a thorough clean but have seen much worse.
A couple of complimentary toiletries which was a nice touch.
Can't comment on the breakfast as it was â¬13 each so we headed to the seafront to have breakfast in the morning instead.
No terrible complaints but probably wouldn't choose to stay again.
Pleasant

We stayed here for 2 nights on our way to San Sebastián. The room is good, bathroom is unexpectedly big so that was a good surprise. The receptionist is very friendly and smiley which gives a very warm welcome. The location is great as it is very close to everything.
