3-Star Hotels in Pyrenees-Atlantiques

Great hotel, friendly owner. The hotel isn't staffed 24/7 though. We arrived quite late, but luckily the owner was waiting for us, so if you do book this hotel make sure you contact the owner beforehand to confirm your arrival time, incase you arrive too late and there's no staff waiting for you.

An enjoyable stay at this lovely independent hotel.( I think it is part of a small group of hotels, but St Julien is not like a chain hotel. The bedroom was lovely and spacious with a very comfortable king size bed.  The en-suite shower was walk in ( very easy for oldies like us) and with modern fixtures and fittings. Breakfast which can be served in the dining room or in the garden was a plentiful continental offering- lots of choice and all delicious. All the staff we encountered were efficient and friendly. Hotel is situated a short walk from Les Halles and  approximately 20 minutes walk to the seafront. We so enjoyed our stay that we booked for an extra night. .

In general, I got not what I expected, from excellent location and work of staff (no cleaning and cleaning claims). My booking was indicated: access without stairs (as a result 3 floor, elevator didn't work), safe in the room (no safe). In the room there was only a fan and an unheated air conditioner. On arrival I was set in another building, which is not respiratory, to go there on the street, including for breakfast you can't just go down - you have to dress and go down the street. During the booking, these details were unknown to me in advance. Accordingly, any requests must be made to another building. In the room there is no teapot, to get boiling nowhere (only on breakfast), which is terrible inconvenient, it was necessary to buy tea in the nearby cafe for 3 euros. It is very strange, as there is a living room at the bottom, and something like a kitchen, but they are not equipped with anything, just furniture for rest (apparently to gather companies in the summer). The room was cold, there were no batteries in it, heating only with the air conditioner. It was repaired to me the next day (thank you). But on the night of arrival I was cold, it was raining, and the cold room only exacerbated my condition. In general, I advise during the booking to specify in which building you will be settled: If the George Hotel is the main building with an elevator and a respiratory, it is better if in Maisone it is a building without infrastructure. Although at the distance to the sea and the beach they are almost similar, the location is very successful. A couple of words about breakfast. They are quite uniform, but all delicious. Very kind staff. When the scramble ended, I personally made fresh, although breakfast time was almost over. Coffee is better ordered in filter, in the coffee machine the drink will be unpleasant. There is a choice of milk. Oranges, baking. But no vegetables.

This hotel was a gem of a place just a few min from the center of the old town and ten min from the beach. There are entrances on both sides of the building. The staff were all so friendly and helpful, nice old building (the floors do squeak) with a beautiful staircase and a gorgeous lounging space in the lobby, and a simple yet delicious breakfast buffet (Make sure you get the mini pain au chocolat.) I got an upgrade to a large terraced double room and had to drag myself out of it to go out it was so comfortable. 4 stars for location only because I had to pull my luggage through town from the bus/train station on foot and in the rain. But I would have loved to stay longer, highly recommend!

We Stayed at La Villa Espinosa for 2 nights before we started the Camino. It was absolutely delightful. The building itself was beautiful. The staff were so lovely. The unit was fabulous with plenty of room & a great kitchenette. We thoroughly enjoyed our stay & would love to come back one day!

WRONG ROOM BOOKING FROM TRIP.COM - there is ibis budget (2*) right next door and trip.com wrongly booked me to the budget hotel, although I paid for the full ibis!! Please confirm your booking with the hotel prior to arrival to avoid nasty surprises. That said, ibis *budget* was clean, looked decently newly renovated, and was very comfortable.

Very central hotel in Biarritz, near restaurants, stores and the beach. It has a private car park. The price for Biarritz is great. One little thing to improve would be to add a fan in the bathroom as there is no window in the bathroom. Overall, good hotel.

Atrocious dinner service; I asked twice for water, but it was never brought. I had to ask a third time. We ate all of our starters without any of our ordered drinks (wine or water) delivered. Awful breakfast service on the first morning. In a busy environment, the logical layout of where plates and cutlery are kept (also a large distance apart) is completely nonsensical and the staff were very slow to replenish breakfast supplies during peak breakfast time. At 9.05 am, a cleaner knocked on the door! Ludicrously early. We shouted to ask them to leave. At 2.52 pm, a male staff member unlocked the door and promptly walked into the room without invitation while my partner was in bed, unclothed. This was grossly unacceptable. On that basis, you absolutely must not stay at this hotel. There is a serious safety issue here. This hotel is the ”Fawlty Towers” of Biarritz, except nobody is laughing.

Nice enough although nothing special or luxurious. Breakfast was fine but again nothing amazing. I was with my dog. He wasn't allowed into Breakfast so for me not really dog friendly. 20 Euros charge for dog yet no dog bowl or bed in the room

We've been going to this hotel for five years, it's in a charming village, there are historic baths and a river passs, that if you don't carry water you can go down and walk, it's very well located to take excursions as there are beaten villages near, Also churches and abatians, much forest, well I rolled, super recommendable
