I just loved the retro decor throughout the hotel (although it is perhaps not to everyone's taste) and found everything to be very tasteful. The room was small but perfectly adequate. The owners of the hotel are (as most reviewers comment) extremely friendly and helpful. Breakfast was excellent and the extremely fresh viennoiserie and freshly squeezed fruit juice were very much appreciated. We ate at the hotel one evening too (they provide a limited range of local dishes to order) and thought the food was very good. I would definitely return to this hotel if I were in Biarritz again.
Stayed over on the way to southern Spain and would certainly recommend this hotel to any traveller or holiday maker,
Very friendly,
Just felt sorry for the Goldfish who seemed very lonely,
Could do with a mate.
10/10
Unfortunately, we did not even get the opportunity to spend our one night in the room we had booked as it seems that the proprietor had a different set of rules to those of any other hotel I had ever visited.
To cut a long story short, when my friends and I were heading out into town for a meal and a few drinks at about 8.30 and we bid the owner good evening and he cordially asked us if we wanted breakfast in the morning. We politely declined and went out for the night.
We returned to the hotel at about 1.30 am (not an unreasonable hour surely) only, to our horror, to find it completely closed. The front gate was locked and all lights were out. We had been given only one key for our quadruple room and this did not work on the gate lock. At no stage did the owner ever see fit to mention to us that the hotel closes for the night at a particular time so, as you can imagine, we were pretty taken aback to find that this had happened.
I know you could say that maybe we could have asked on our way out if the hotel closed and at what time but honestly it did not even occur to us to query this. Every single hotel any of our group had ever stayed in, had either a 24-hour service or front door key.
With absolutely no means of accessing the room we had paid for, my friends and I were forced to spend the night trying to sleep on some plastic benches, freezing cold (it got pretty chilly in the early hours) and feeling pretty despondent.
We finally managed to get into our room when the hotel opened up about 7.30 am. Needless to say, we were rather cranky by this stage so thought it best not to query the events of the previous night with the owner on our way in, as we did not want to run the risk of creating a scene, thus potentially making a bad situation even worse. A typically English response to dreadful service, I suppose you could say!
Even checking-out was a dispiriting experience. We asked the owner if he would be kind enough to let us know how to get to the bus station in more than reasonable enough French, but he simply chose to ignore us. It was left to a fellow customer, to whom the owner was chatting, to kindly privide us with the information.
All in all, this was, by a ridiculously long way, the worst hotel experience I have ever had. I would certainly never recommend it to anyone. Quite the opposite in fact. If you can get a room anywhere else, and I do mean anywhere else, my view is that you should do so.
(As a postscript, just to make it clear that I am not by nature a whinger, the hotels in which we stayed in Bilbao and San Sebastian were exemplary. But that's for other reviews).
It's a pleasant 15 - 20 minute walk through the back streets to the seafront and a nice simple drive from the airport.
It was immaculately clean and the decor has real character. Not just another 'off the shelf' hotel. This has a great fun, funky feel about it.
Parking was on the road outside, but there seemed plenty of room and we never had a problem.
We got back to the hotel about 10pm and it would have been nice to finish the evening with a nightcap, but the bar was closed. But that's a French thing.
We will stay here again when we come back to Biarritz.

It was located a liitle further out of town than was ideal(10 mins walk), and was reasonably priced for Biarritz in July.
We only stayed one night, but the warmth of the owners made it a highlight.



The hotel is a 10-15 minute walk into the centre of Biarritz. Parking is on street outside the hotel.
Cost was Eur110 for a family room, doubles are Eur70-80.
There is a limited food menu which we didn't try but we did have breakfast (Eur8.50) which was plenty with breads and pastrys, orange, coffee and yogurts.
I would highly recommend this hotel, made perfect by the attentive owners who also spoke good English (which does help!).
Bon voyage!
The rooms are great, clean and well equipped, and the bathroom was fabulous.
There is a free bus into Biarritz centre from opposite the hotel every hour, and also back again, running all day operated by the town council.
Overall, we would recommend this hotel, and we walked back from the town after a meal out. It took 20 minutes.
