Fab hostel. Great staff. Free tea & coffee....real bonus. My 4☆ hotel in Biarritz didn't offer this. Near beach. Much quieter than the old town, to sleep at night.

Best Hostel Kitchen

This was one of the best hostels I’ve stayed at! The staff were very friendly and helpful, the aircon was great, our room had two sinks and a separate shower and toilet. The window out to the terrace was great for natural light. My big suitcase fit inside the locker or under the bed. Lots of hooks to hang your towels and the beds had an outlet, light and shelf! The kitchen was way beyond my expectations as it had multiple pots, pans, cutting boards, utensils, cups etc. it was extremely well organized with cubbies labeled with room numbers and plenty of space in the fridge (also well organized because they provided labels and pens) 10/10 recommend

We are three woman traveling around Spain. We stayed in our own room with our own bathroom. The stay was excellent. The breakfast had lots of variety and filled us up. The only critique would be the toilet paper was not good.

Hôtel sympathique pour étape

Hôtel type auberge de jeunesse. Accueil parfait. Chambre bien. Douche un peu petite et dans le couloir pas pratique. Salle pour manger et cuisine à disposition très pratique. Espace fauteuils. Terrasse. Pas de parking privé. Et difficile de qe garer à proximité. Très bien pour une étape. Pas trop loin du centre ville.
