Wonderful staff and great service, the front desk ladies along with the restaurant downstairs are lovely and will ensure all your needs are met. The rooms are typical European hotel rooms, very tiny with minimal amenities. I was surprised to find no water, water glasses and basic bathroom amenities (we did not request them and sourced them ourselves). Hotel is in the perfect location, right in the heart of Biarritz. Parking is right nearby and they will give you a pass to use it for a day-rate. Overall, great experience, would just suggest adding more amenities to the rooms.

Our stay was perfect! We were a family of 4 traveling together and the girls had their own space in the room. The staff was extremely helpful. Parking was just beneath the plaza and priced reasonably. The plaza offered many dining options and shopping was just up the hill. We were close to the beaches so the car could stay parked for the entire weekend. Definitely would stay there again!

Le pompom : le dîner festif du 31/12 (facture 100€/ personne et n’en valant pas plus que 30€ !!!) à peine digne d’un restaurant en bordure de nationale, …(salle de restaurant chauffée à 12• pour un réveillon, passé en doudoune) Bref, séjour à oublier, passez votre chemin ….

We loved our recent 5 night stay ,a perfect location with helpful friendly staff. The hotel rooms are small and would benefit from a little update but the one we booked had a beautiful ocean view which was amazing. The only thing we would recommend is a kettle in the room so that guests could make a tea or coffee when they wanted.

My wife and I have discussed how we should respond. We could not wish for a better, central location. Everything was just a stroll away. First, we thought the staff we met - the young ladies at the reception desk - were polite and immensely helpful, although the one who showed us on arrival the "upgraded" room carefully avoided its drawbacks. An example was the toilet which was located in a cupboard. Otherwise the room was comfortable with a good view of the square outside. We were only on the first floor but the lift was a bit temperamental, yet it took us down to excellent breakfasts each morning.
