Comfortable basic hotel right in the centre of Espelette
Pros:

The room was modest but clean and the bed was very comfortable with beautiful bedlinen.

Cons:

The receptionist was a bit cold. When we arrived we asked if she knew a good restaurant. She highlighted one round the corner and she said we had to book before going. Since she didn’t give us the name we had to guess the restaurant she was talking about.
I guess a little extra effort ( like giving us the name of the restaurant) would had made a huge difference.
