Looking for a hostel?

Budget travelers know there's no better way to make the most of their trip than by staying at a hostel: Save money for exploring during the day, and swap stories with fellow backpackers in the shared kitchen or bar in the evening. Dorm-style bedrooms with shared bathrooms are standard hostel fare, but private rooms are also available for those willing to pay a little more.

    Gorgeous apartment. Safe and secure. Free parking facilities. It was spotlessly clean and had the most comfortable beds, in both rooms. Beautifully furnished with nice lighting and lamps. All very good quality stuff tbroughout. Had a very well equipped kitchen, again with good quality fittings & utensils. Location very good, but probably need a car , although very close to beach. Couldn't fault anything at all in the apartment.

    Comfortable bed. Kitchenette was adequately equipped. Quiet. Underground car park (€15 a night plus taxes). Big balcony (but too cold to use it). Great location.

    Great location in the centre of Arcachon, very close to beach and all the cafes / restaurants / ice cream places etc in the centre of town. Nice room, plenty of space for us (though not huge rooms, however we had no trouble with three adults and three children, and our bikes in the room for safe-keeping!).

    Hotel was very clean. Great location with only a 10-15 min walk to the beach or town with lovely shops / cafes / restaurants. Underground (paid) garage is very secure and easy to park your car. The other car park is at the back of the hotel and also seems safe and private. Aurora was the only member of staff we met and she was very friendly and welcoming. She was knowledgeable about the area and she suggested some good dog friendly restaurants for us.

    The property was in a great location - super close to shops, restaurants and the beach front. It was located in a small courtyard that made it feel safe and private. It had everything we needed, was clean and comfortable.
