Pros:

Tout était bien, chambre, salle de bain, il y a suffisamment d'espace dans le dressing c'est pratique. Sauf erreur je trouve étrange qu'il n'y pas de prise des 2 côtés du lit.

A real find, central, friendly,,warm, with charm
Pros:

Location is fantastic as it aligns les halles, restaurants, bars, beach and sea front. It is boutique, charming and quirky, with a nice, simple, unpretentious style - great bed, shower, and double windows opening to hear revellers and morning birds alike- I loved it.

Cons:

Breakfast was good, coffee, croissants, fresh juice and baguette with president butter, lovely, but I am a little greedy and love a buffet breakfast, but saying that, the cafe/ restaurant is lovely downstairs, with little sparrows accompanying us for petite dejeneur, tres chic et tres Francaise

Hôtel très bien situé dans Biarritz
Pros:

Sa localisation hyper centrale, le petit message d’accueil à distance sympathique pour une arrivée autonome et fluide

Cons:

Bruyant ( la rue même si on était prévenu des bars, on avait pas réalisé que le marché commencerait tôt), et les chambres entre elles sont très très mal isolés

Pros:

Mycket bra läge! Tyst även fast det var mycket folk i rörelse runt omkring. Varmt ute gjorde det varmt på rummet men vi visste att det inte fanns av, en fläkt cirkulerade luften.

A small guesthouse.Fun, lively place with friendly lively people
Pros:

Great central buzzing location.
Very friendly helpful staff.
The building was old with character in a good way, not at all corporate.
A good restaurant downstairs.
It was buzzing and noisy on the weekend but we expected that in such a central area.

Cons:

I suppose the door lock needed some attention and the shower was a bit clunky but we liked it’s non corporate charm
