    Located in the centre of Biarritz

    The Indigo parking may be rather nearby, but it has 7 floors and no elevator. Quite a nightmare if you have a lot of luggage to carry. What they did not tell us though is that you should first pass by the hotel (where you can also unload) and fetch a card to enter the parking. So we then had to drive again out of the parking till -7, pay, drive another 10 min’s again to the entrance of the parking, and swipe the card of the hotel… a bit more information from the start would have been nice. The breakfast and reception areas look rather modern and cool, but little is left of that vibe as soon as you go up. A pity. The room is very small. For one night it is okay, or if you have little luggage. The room was clean but not in detail. As soon as you open the tap of water, you see all the dirt and limescale underneath. The towel radiator they should just remove. It is rusty and gives an unclean feeling. For Biarritz the price for one night is probably okay, but I then rather pay 50 euro more per night and get a decent room and better communication.

    The hotel is located right in the centre of Biarritz, with the Grand Plage and the Port Vieux only a short walk away. The staff is friendly. You could not hear any noise from the street in the room, which was great. You could hear a lot of noise from the hallway though. The hotel has an arrangement with a nearby Indigo Parking, so you pay €12 instead of €19 for one day. If you want a cheap stay for one or two nights, in the centre, and are okay with a small basic room, this hotel could be a good fit.

    The beds were very hard! Woke up quite a lot with a bad back. Also, not much privacy in the bathroom. Frosted glass door and you could hear everything the person in there was doing!!

    Location brilliant. Short walk to the car park, beach and shops and restaurants.

    The area was under construction and nothing was said about it at booking. Getting to the building was a hassle because of the construction... but not only was the streets under construction the building was remodeling also which was a bit uncomfortable being that the hall is so tight. The ac doesn't work like it should. In short, it was ok, the area is beautiful and the building will fit right in once they catch up with the remodeling.

    There are currently building works to all sides of the building making the property difficult to access. Not the hotel’s fault, but if you have mobility issues or a buggy, the uneven ground could be difficult. We had an issue with our room which was rectified by a free breakfast; we did have cleaners trying to enter our room a number of times. It was noisy at night, the hotel is close to a nightclub and in the centre of the town, so if tranquility is what you’re after; this wont be for you.

    The location was perfect, very easy to find & park. The decor is really tasteful & the staff were very attentive. Great coffee & fantastic breakfast. Very dog friendly.

    The decor is very out dated in the bedrooms, The small shower room was modern, the toilet room was very bad decor. It was ok for a one late night stay over, but would not want to be there for a few nights.

    The Location was perfect. There was a lot of confusion with check, in, as no text message or email was sent to confirm how to access the hotel on late arrival. The message that was sent informed us that there would be someone there till 11pm. Which was not the case. An old lady, guest let us in, she was trying to get out.

    Great location, poor aircon

    On our first night, the fire-alarm went off and we all evacuated, this was due to someone smoking in their room and triggering alarm ( around 11pm). A different alarm went off two more times throughout the night, (around 5am and 6.45am) where we had to leave our rooms (but no explanation for these alarms). Staff don’t stay at the hotel overnight, so we had to wait for someone to arrive and turn off alarms, which was 15min+ wait. We were initially given a room with broken aircon, the receptionist had told us the engineer had been there during the week and serviced all aircon systems, therefore it should have been working. We then asked her to come see for herself, she then agreed our room was a sauna. We were given a different room, which was great, and the aircon worked a little better. Aircon system was just very old. Staff were never at reception which was very annoying, unsure if they were short staffed or staff just elsewhere.

    Hotel was in a great area of Biarritz, only a few minute walk to bus stops, shops and beach. Beds were comfy. Rooms were basic. Breakfast was €13.

    The hotel is so dirty and unkept. The carpets are beyond rotten and stained. There was a large cockroach in our room when we arrived & staff did not seemed surprised despite our shock. The hotel is in a bad state of repair and extremely dirty, so much so that even a great location could not compensate.
