My stay at the hotel was quite enjoyable overall. The location is fantastic, just a short walk from the beach and local shops. I found the rooms to be a bit cramped but clean and basic. The staff was genuinely friendly and helpful, making my experience more pleasant. On the downside, the dining options were a bit lacking, especially at breakfast, but the facilities were decent.

I had a pleasant stay overall. The hotel is located in a good area, making it easy to explore Biarritz and the nearby beaches. My room was roomy with a nice garden view, which provided a quiet atmosphere. However, I found the cleanliness could be improved, and it lacked amenities like a fridge and tea-making facilities. The service was top-notch; the staff were incredibly friendly and went above and beyond to assist with our transport issues. While the dining was good, it felt a bit pricey compared to other places I've been, which was a minor drawback.

The hotel is in a good location that's a bit far from the city center if you have a lot of luggage. The rooms are quite small and could be uncomfortable for two, but they were nice enough. The staff were extremely helpful, although it took until our last night to get the air conditioning on, so we had to open the windows. Overall, the experience was pleasant, but I expected a bit more comfort given the price.
