I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the bright side, the location is fantastic, only a short walk from the beach and lively spots. The rooms were really nice and comfy, perfect for resting after a day out. However, I struggled with the service as some staff were not helpful, and there was an unpleasant smell in the room due to tobacco. Overall, it offered decent value for money, but there were some things that could definitely be improved.

I had a pleasant stay at this hotel, located in the heart of Biarritz, close to the beach and plenty of charming restaurants. The rooms were bright, airy, and very clean, which made for a comfortable experience. The staff was friendly, but the language barrier was a bit challenging at times. While the dining options were decent, I found them to be a bit overpriced considering the quality. Overall, the location and cleanliness were definite highlights, but dining could use some improvement.

I had a mixed experience at the hotel. On the plus side, the location is fantastic, just a short walk to the beach, and the staff was really friendly. However, the rooms were a bit small and need better cleaning, and the late-night noise from music and guests made it hard to sleep well. Overall, it's a decent place, but I felt it could use some improvements.

The service was a bit overwhelming as they seemed over-attentive, and I had a funny experience with a staff member coming in when I was undressed. It was hard to communicate as they didn't speak much English, but they did go out of their way to return something I lost, which I really appreciated.

I had a decent stay at this hotel. The location was excellent, right in the heart of everything, making it easy to explore shops and the beach. The staff were friendly and helpful, but the service could be improved as I often had to search for staff in the bar area. The rooms were a bit on the small side and located right above the hotel's disco bar, so it wasn't ideal for light sleepers. Overall, it was good value for the price.

I had a wonderful stay overall; the hotel is conveniently located in the heart of the city, making it easy to access shops, restaurants, and attractions. My room was modern and spacious, but it did have some noise disturbances from the partygoers outside which wasn't ideal. The service was a bit hit or miss—some staff were friendly while others seemed annoyed when I needed assistance. Breakfast was decent, but not very exciting. Still, I'd say it’s good value for money based on the location and the amenities offered.

I had a mixed experience at this hotel. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and surrounded by lots of shops and cafes. The rooms have a charming 1920s feel, but they could use a deeper cleaning. While the staff was generally friendly and helpful, there were some communication issues because of the language barrier. It’s a great spot for nightlife, but be aware that noise can be an issue at night.
