Hôtel AKENA Biarritz - Grande plage

Café da manhã com pouca reposição apesar de ser bem completo, melhor ir cedo pra não ficar sem,hotel de muita rotatividade

The receptionist was exceptionally nice and accommodating. I mentioned I had a Zoom meeting shortly after I checked in and she offered a work area etc and was very nice thru out the stay, the room was very clean and the whole staff were excellent. I'll be back!

Allowed to check in super early which was much appreciated after a very early flight. Went straight to breakfast which was still on - great value and gorgeous. Proper orange juicer, boiled egg machine, fresh raspberries/blueberries & lovely pastries. No 11 bus from airport (€1.30) stops at St Charles le Marne stop just around the corner. You get back on for the airport at the stop just 1 min walk up street St Charles Victoria (one way system). 3 day bus ticket is just €8.60). Beach is end of street 3 minute walk. Shops are 10 min walk same direction then turn left. Room was small but fine. Good quality towels/toilet roll & rictuals shower gel/ shampoo & handwash. If you don't get room cleaned first day you get token for free soft drink/glass of wine - great value/idea. Windows opened fully which was great & air con heated room perfectly when needed (April stay). Sky News & BBC News on telly plus Netflix & ability to cast. Let us keep room on till 3pm last day for free as flight was later. Can't recommend hotel enough. Free sweets in jars in foyers and large umbrellas for use. Really friendly staff. On a quiet street with beautiful houses. Carrefour express & little bakery/chemist & pub just behind hotel, out front door & turn left, turn left just before bus stop opposite church. Walk up past Charlie's pub and swing left. Can't recommend enough! Get airport bus back & get Flix or Blabla car coach to San Sebastián from airport for day trip.

Le bruit... On entend les ébats dans les autres chambres, les voitures dans la rue en permanence comme si on était sur le trottoir, même simplement les gens qui appellent leur chien ou discutent dans la rue ou les couloirs, l'isolation phonique est désastreuse. Pas de volets, des rideaux trop petits donc la lumière du jour passe, ainsi que celle des lampadaires par les côtés. Et un lit qui grince, mais grince! Pour le reste c'est très bien, propre. Pas de prise électrique au niveau des têtes de lit, juste une prise USB (ancienne génération) qui recharge un tel pendant des plombes. Pour le reste c'est très bien, personnel très sympa, accueillant, propreté irréprochable, mais pour dormir il faut prévoir un masque de nuit et des bouchons d'oreilles, c'est dommage.

Déco géniale !
