What guests think

Travellers praise Hotel de Silhouette for its central, walkable location near Les Halles and the beach, warm and helpful staff, charming garden/bar spaces, and clean, comfortable boutique rooms, making it a popular base for exploring Biarritz.

Many also appreciate the convenience of on site parking and quiet rooms despite the lively area. Several reviews highlight good breakfasts and handy dining choices, while others simply use the market across the street. A few report downsides, including a hot water issue, weak air conditioning, occasional housekeeping lapses, curt reception or bar service, and one guest unhappy with an annex room. Best for travelers who value charm and convenience over extensive amenities.

Nous avons passé un excellent séjour, l’hôtel est très bien placé en plein centre-ville, littéralement à deux pas de tout, avec un très beau petit jardin permettant de s’échapper de la cohue des touristes dans les rues. Le personnel a été accueillant, disponible et attentionné du début à la fin. Nous avons été logés dans une maison à côté de l’hôtel — un peu surpris à notre arrivée : la chambre était confortable, très propre, donnant sur une petite terrasse avec ses deux chaises et sa table, parfaites pour le café du matin que l’on peut se préparer grâce à la machine Nespresso mise à disposition. C’était vraiment superbe et très intime, une belle surprise. Le parking est petit mais très pratique si vous êtes en voiture. La décoration de l’hôtel est par ailleurs très réussie, alliant charme et modernité. À titre de suggestion, il serait peut-être utile d’ajouter des rideaux type voilage dans la chambre que nous occupions, pour offrir un peu plus d’intimité en journée sans occulter totalement la lumière. Le petit-déjeuner était varié et de qualité. Un grand merci à toute l’équipe pour cette belle expérience — nous reviendrons avec plaisir ! Si nous repassons par Biarritz, nous saurons où nous arrêter.

Wir hatten dort 5 Tage verbracht: ein sehr persönlich geführtes Kleines Hotel. Parken direkt hinter dem Hotel. Hotel hat wunderbaren Innenhof Alles sehr sauber, Personal sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit Frühstücksbuffett reichhaltig Hotel liegt direkt in der Innenstadt und es ist doch eine Oase der Ruhe. Unser Zimmer war groß, aber durch das kleine Fenster nahe an der Ecke etwas dunkel. Aber wir waren ja tagsüber unterwegs Bad war sehr groß und war toll designt. Alles in allem wir haben uns sehr wohlgefühlt

Lovely hotel right in the centre of Biarritz. Really friendly helpful staff. While the standard room is a little small, if 2 people chose to unpack at the same moment it was very well equipped with a large bathroom, great shower and Dyson hairdryer. The hotel building is beautiful and well maintained. Rooms were very clean. Throughout our stay the stay were courteous, professional and friendly. The girl on check in particularly stood our with her welcoming smile and personality. First class. Would recommend and return next time in Biarritz

Nice hotel. I found it quiet and well cared for. The AC in our room struggled to keep it cool but if we kept all the doors closed and the shutters closed, it helped. Nice amenities in the room and the beds were comfortable. You can tell the hotel is a bit dated but still nice. Pricey for what it is but definitely good location.

Excellent location, we stayed here based on the parking. Went to the market opposite for breakfast everyday which was great. Downstairs in the hotel is beautiful, the rooms aren’t bad but not the same level of refurbishment, some quirks like not enough plug sockets so the coffee machine only works with the lights on. Not a bad room, just not the same soho house vibe as downstairs. Some pretty rude interactions with staff, being ignored at the bar for example, and the only person who offered to help with bags was the cleaner. Some helpful sorts there too. Would stay again if I couldn’t find anywhere else with parking in area

The style and location of the hotel is great but the service or rather the reception was awful. Out warm water did not work and after coming down several times the person was rather upset although we did not have thebwarm water and had to cancel our reservation. The person onl tried once to look for the room next to us butvthe water was not warm either. They did ask a technician but they already said we shouldn’t wait for him/her to go for dinner but we were freezing and the receptionist only said it was all she can do when we asked for a compensation.
