Just great.

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.

I loved my stay there. The staff were super helpful and the location was great. The only thing missing was in house laundry but there was a laundromat 3 min walk away but just a bit expensive. I'd defo will stay there again.

Highly recommend; excellent

Had an amazing stay! The property was easy to get to from the bus station and in a very safe, busy area. The staff are all lovely and work hard to keep the whole place spotless at all times. The rooms are immaculate and spacious. The breakfast is good and kitchen is useful and again, spotless

Allez-y les yeux fermés

Nous recommandons cet hôtel où tout y est pensé pour le confort et le plaisir !! A proximité de tout, le personnel est très disponible. Le petit-déjeuner compris est également très bien. De plus, vous pourrez utiliser une cuisine pour vous préparer vos repas. Un frigo est également à disposition. N'hésitez pas !

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
