Alcyon

( 3 stars , Biarritz , France )

I should mentioned the kindness of the staff who took care of me when I had been bitten by a jellyfish. The people from the hotel found me a doctor and saw me off to the doctor. Also, the whole atmosphere is very cosy especially during the breakfast. The distance to the beach and to the city center is optimal. Very nice hotel!

Spacious room, quiet. Central, short walk to centre.

Breakfast and taxe for the stay in the town non inclusive. The breakfast is a buffet, but there is not much choice.The price is chip:3 euro

you should not be so hungry : the breakfast is very light !

Fabulous Hotel - compeditively priced - Excellent Staff - in the Centre of Biarritz.

A beautiful boutique-style hotel, with friendly, helpful staff in a central location in Biarritz. However, it is not located 'a few step' from the station as stated on the website. It is a good bus journey away! The bus from the train station will bring you to the foot of a short hill up to the Alcyon, on Rue Larralde, beside Place Clemenceau for just €1.20.

This hotel is one of my favorites in Europe so far. Public areas combine beautiful old wood trim with sleek, modern furniture. The room decor was quite modern and tasteful and the large window allowed the room to be bright and airy. Even with windows closed, weekend street noise can be a bit loud if you're sensitive to that (the hotel is just a couple blocks from the "happening" square). Bathrooms were small but still quite nice by European standards. The whole place was very clean. Cannot comment on the breakfast as we passed on that in favor in getting coffee in town. Note that you're on your own for parking and the hotel is a bit tricky to find the first time, even with GPS.

The rooms were clean and nice with shutters and black out blinds so the room was nice and dark. The only thing I would suggest is more towels in the bedrooms. There was only one large towels supplied for a double room and about 4 small hand towels. For a couple shairing a room, we had to share a bath towel as the other towels were tiny. Water in the rooms or coffee making facilities would be an added nice thing to have. I did not have breakfast so cannot comment on this. The staff were very pleasant and helpfula nd a room available to leave luggage on the day of check out. Very reasonable price and well worth it. In the centre of town aswell

Comfortable stylish rooms with simple but fresh continental breakfast. Relaxed understated ambience. Centrally located. Only potential disadvantage is that it's on the corner of two small streets, which are minor but nonetheless busy enough to make the bedrooms noisy in warm months because there is no air conditioning.

A fabulous hotel. Well located for the centre of Biarritz. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Rooms clean and warm and decorated to a high standard. Breakfast great value at 9 euro...good variety and freshly squeezed orange juice! I would love to return to this hotel in the future.
