    Everything! The location on the beach is great, the view from the balcony was breathtaking, the welcome is efficient and warm but not overwhelming, the value for money is great - and I love the decor. It may seem a bit from another era but it has a lot of charm. Coup de coeur!

    Didn’t have kettle in room to make tea or coffee but this didn’t detract from a wonderful stay.

    Very spacious and clean. Sea views, balcony and excellent quiet location. Staff lovely and answered any queries immediately.

    It’s a tiny bit dated but it was very clean and comfortable, peaceful and a five minute stroll along the water to town, so a great location. Also some bars and restaurants right beside it. Best spot for sunset!

    At night, all we could hear when we lay in bed was the soothing sound of waves, its right in the beach.

    NB Naturally parking is limited in front of hotel (and Biarritz in general) and hotel parking elevator takes only cars up to 1,8 t - we found free parking 20 min walk from hotel during our 11 days stay but it limited access to our car. There is a parking lot up the stairs high above the hotel for around 85 € per night.

    Perfect location for surf etc and balcony views - short walk to town. Nice spacious room and good and very friendly service - we extended our stay twice and would not hesitate to return.

    In the top 3 hotels I have ever stayed in because of the amenities, view, location, and staff.

    In warm weather I don't understand why the bedding is a duvet. It is far too warm for the season. There are no other bed coverings, so we always take the cover off of the duvet and use it instead. It worked great. Two other suggestions I will make is that there was only a single chair and no table upon which to eat. The chairs that were provided on the balcony were beach chairs which were not comfortable or usable as dining chairs. Cater breakfast earlier than 8:00AM. We had to leave early for travel purposes and missed the delight of breakfast. Getting breakfast out in this hotel requires either a taxi or being fit to walk up the paths on the cliffs behind or heading into the old town which is challenging in the rain.

    Everything was fantastic. The woman at the front desk was fabulous, friendly, helpful and always smiling. The room was exceptional with incredible ocean views. The bed was very comfortable with excellent pillows. There was great lighting, so often rooms are dark. The tv was on castors so that it could be viewed either from the bed or the couch in its own little alcove with a large window. Important for us, because we stayed during the Rugby World Cup. It was warm the entire time, so we kept the window and balcony sliding glass door open. Apparently, this is common because the flooring is a surface that accepts water and it is easily mopped up. There was a large fabulous bath tub for soaking. We had breakfast one morning; a petit dejeuner simple. It included coffee and croissants. The cafe au lait was the best I have had since visiting Paris years ago. It was the old fashioned steamed milk in a pitcher. This is the ONLY hotel on the beach near the old town in Biarritz.. All of the others are up on the bluffs. The restaurant next door, Le Surfing was excellent as well.

    A bit warm in the room, a fan would be a nice addition. Also no parking anywhere nearby in high season so getting in and dropping bags was a bit of a mission.

    Amazing location right on one of the main surfing beaches. We slept with the sliding doors fully open to the sounds of the waves! Definitely a bit of a time capsule in terms of decor but comfortable and interesting nonetheless. It's a nice short walk into town and there are a few cafes next door as well. Very friendly staff and you can get a nice breakfast served on your balcony overlooking the sea :)

    After we descended a huge cliff with our luggage, because the car is not allowed at the Property area, at the arrive we were given a room key that didn’t exist. After we came down and set the right room, we found 2 dead cockroaches in our way to the room. Room smells bad, it’s humid and AC didn’t work. The washbasin was completely filthy on the inside silicones. The next day when we took the car from the nearest park on top of the cliff we payed 70€, for the night hours without any warning from the receptionist.

    Nothing! Terrible experience. Probably the worst place we have been to!

    Location. May be for summer is great because is in front of the ocean, but in winter does not paiy off. Accessibility is very complicated. It is tagged on google maps not in the exact location, you have to get all the city around to get in the ONLY and one street to get in. building is old and was renewed partially, water did not drain well in the bathtub and lavatories.

    The price and the receptionist people were very kind. we couldn't found the location and they came to pick us up where we were.
