Looking for a hostel?

Budget travellers know that there is 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 bit more.

    Very very clean, it looked like I was the very first person to occupe the studio. Great location in Arcachon, 3 min away from anything you'd need! Very good communication with the owner, very kind and helpful. Also, very well equipped for a short stay and super clear instructions. I do recommend warmly this place!

    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.
