    Unfortunately it’s a very noisy location so not for those who are light sleepers.

    Very central to everything in Biarritz. Best of all it’s next door to Les Halles which is a paradise for any gourmand.

    When we arrived there was a 3 day braderie which made it very difficult to get to the hotel by car many roads where closed and all the parking were full . Also there were roadworks in , Les Halles, where the hotel was situated and it made it all a bit difficult. Not the fault of the hotel but a heads up would have been helpfu

    It was a very Central Location the Lady who ran the Hotel was charming and helpful, plenty of places nearby to eat and drink

    The very pleasant little balcony had full-height openable glass doors, which was lovely for getting air into the room, but the curtains only extended the lower third of the height. A kettle with some teas and coffees would have been a nice addition too, but for less than €70 a night it was fine. Would stay here again.

    Really great location in the city centre near to all attractions. My room had a bath, which is always a plus for me. Automated check-in with the details sent in advance (including detailed directions), which is another plus point. There was a television with the main French FTA channels and there were several electrical sockets. There were sufficient towels and toiletries provided, and a nice touch was a tourist map of the city left in the room.

    A little fridge would be very handy

    Location wise this was so convenient. A restaurant in the building which was excellent and many within a 200m walk. The fresh food market is across the road. A supermarket 200m away. I had a corner room so good air flow to cool down with a sea breeze, there is no aircon but a fan was provided. Shutters help to keep it from getting too hot. Shutters also kept out the noise from the lively street below that is the price to pay for being in the action. I enjoyed the music from a band playing, on one night great atmosphere. Also convenient for the beaches a short walk away.

    Because the hotel is near lovely restaurants it is quite noisy outside at night. It was nice and quiet the following morning though..

    Frederique was very helpful with answering questions and arranging a taxi. She gave me a very warm welcome and explained where all the beaches, cafes, shops etc were. She also made sure to say goodbye. Lovely, friendly person and that makes a difference! The room was small but had everything you need including a TV and hairdryer. The bed was very comfortable. The location was very convenient for restaurants, beaches, shops and commuting. Just a little tip... Make sure to look up above street level when trying to find it as there is a restaurant with a different name downstairs.

    For someone who is very sensitive to noise, the restaurant downstairs could be a problem. I personally had no problem at all sleeping when I used earplugs and closed the window. No elevator, so for someone with mobility issues it might not be ideal.

    Great location, very central. Only a short walk to the beach and to all the shops and restaurants. Spotlessly clean. Super friendly and extra helpful staff, they really went above and beyond. They made my stay unforgettable. Comfortable room, comfortable bed.
