Overall a good place, but better to stay at when it's not peak traveling season :)
Pros:

The staff was very nice and considering. They allowed us to leave our luggage before our check-in time as well as after our check-out time.

Location isn't for the weak, it's very central and there are several bars and restaurants underneath the hotel. There is no air conditioning, but the windows provide a good airflow.

They also hand out umbrellas and beach towels, which is quite nice when you don't travel with a lot.

Overall, it was a nice place!

Pros:

Petit hôtel idéalement placé à proximité immédiate des délicieuses halles de Biarritz. Les deux personnes qui gèrent l'hôtel vous réserveront un accueil à la fois discret et chaleureux, je leur souhaite une excellente poursuite !

Ein bisschen zu teuer für die Leistung, aber entspricht einem zwei-Sterne-Hoteln.
Pros:

Gute Lage, freundliches Personal, einfaches Check-In, gute Anreisebeschreibung

Cons:

es war sehr laut (wie iangekündigt), hatte keine klimaanlage und war deshalb sehr heiss, der Ventilator hat ein bisschen geholfen, das Zimmer war zu klein, um zwei Koffer zu öffnen, der Bad-Ventilator funktionierte nicht, wodurch es immer etwas feucht war, der Duschvorhang ist viel zu lang, was das duschen etwas umständlich machte.

Pros:

- Hotel location is above an area of 5 popular restaurants, but no A/C, so you need to open the doors and all the noise and smell comes inside…choose between noise or being in an oven
- Room is tiny but decent
- Location is very practical, 10 mins away from the beach

Super emplacement si on accepte le bruit
Pros:

L’emplacement : proche du parking gratuit, de bars, restaurants, rue piétonne, plage, les halles.
La baignoire : un vrai plus très agréable.
Le restaurant en bas : géniale aussi proche, très bon et le petit dej excellent.
Les bouchons d’oreilles : comme il y a énormément de bruit la nuit c’est une bonne idée.

Cons:

Pas de clim : on a ouvert la fenêtre car même si ils fournissent le ventilateur on avait très très chaud. Manque de bol avec les bars et le bruit des halles on n’a pas dormi de la nuit ( l installation des halles commence à 4h du matin ). Par contre le double vitrage est super, dès qu’on ferme la fenêtre c’est le calme absolu. Mais sans clim la nuit, vu la chaleur, c’est difficile de tenir on a besoin d’ouvrir.
Manque de prise : d’un coté du lit y’en a 0 et de l’autre il y en a une mais il y a la lampe dessus. Une multiprise pour pouvoir allumer + charger son téléphone serait bien. On était dans le noir du coup.

Central convenient stopover on the camino,pleasant staff and excellent service
Pros:

i liked the location as it was very central and convenient for my very early bus journey to the airport the next morning.
i liked the staff who checked me in as they were very pleasant and helpful. I really appreciated the kindness of the young lady who checked out the time of an early bus to the airport and gave me directions where the nearest bus stop was.
The room was comfortable and this was my fourth time staying here in the same room. While the hotel is in a busy area I had a good undisturbed sleep. I liked the menu in the restaurant downstairs and the prompt service.

Cons:

Nothing
