Ideally located down town, nice place with a style. Staff are super friendly. Remember to take ear plug if you want to sleep early, as some rooms are on the street and party are late in Biarritz

Property has great location and staff.
Interiors need some paint and updating
Beautiful hotel right in the center of Biarritz, 1 min walk to the beach. Loved the decor, room was very comfortable and quiet. Great restaurant and bar opposite which is also part of the hotel. Highly recommended!
Pros: Excellent location, very walkable to shops and restaurants, very close to the ocean. The location is a 10/10. Front desk staff were nice.
Cons: Very noisy, was hard to get a full nights sleep in due to hearing all the noise from the people’s rooms above us. Also, cleanliness was disappointing. Old hair was found on the walls and drain in the shower and also the sheets in the bed. Very dusty. All of the bathroom towels and bedsheets smelled like mildew. At night the HVAC AC system picked up the cigarette smoke outside and our room smelled like smoke.
Based on our experience we probably wouldn’t want to stay here again for the Cons reasons, especially since we did pay a lot and there were many other hotels nearby that could suit our overall cleanliness and noise levels needs more.
A lovely small hotel right in the centre of the old part of Biarritz, just a few steps from the beach. My room was small but perfectly formed, light & modern with great eco touches. The staff couldn’t have been more welcoming, friendly & helpful. A nice extra touch was the all day coffee, croissants & water in the chill out room. Highly recommended
