A good value for money hotel with good location and friendly staff

The hotel is very well accessible by car, as it is right on the main road to Biarritz. The local village is charming and 10min away by foot. A good and varied breakfast is served. The staff was friendly and helpful.

Good location, 5 minutes walk from the village centre. Very friendly staff. Space to park the car (conplicated in the area in summer). Nice installations.

Beautiful place, well located near public transport. Easy walk into guethary village and bus to other villages. Great breakfast, especially love the local products. Good drinks service Airconditioned room - very valuable in summer, with a spacious and clean bathroom. We stayed two weeks and were very happy with the stay. Highly recommend.

Lovely hotel with great staff. The garden is very nice, especially with a room with garden terrace. The breakfast buffet offers a lot of choice - fresh fruit and croissants, cheese et cetera. Its a 7 minute walk towards the port with a wide range of cafés and restaurants. Don’t miss the small Japanese / Basque grocery shop in town. Busses and train to Biarritz / Bayonne nearby. My dog also loved to stay here!

Great vibe, great location. Go there...

This small hotel used to be a local primary school, and they have made an intelligent and humourous conversion which adds fun to the place. Staff were friendly and laid-back. The patio is a beautiful place to hang out or eat breakfast, and the breakast itself is decent. We could park right outside. We could walk to the beach. We took a bus two stops from outside the hotel and had an excellent dinner on the beach at Bidart. Another night we had we went to a great restaurant 300m away. They didnt kick us out early as more and more hotels seem to do. We said "A bientot" upon departure and would definitely return.
