Mirano  

Loved our hosts and the cool contemporary 70s style rooms. Perfect hotel to relax in and very helpful & friendly staff. Would def recommend it for people looking for a boutique hotel away from the tourist hustle and bustle.

What a delightful place. Right from the moment we arrived we felt very welcome and relaxed at the Mirano. The staff were unbelievably helpful and friendly. Our host gave us a load of recommendations for good places to eat, drink and be merry and every one of them was brilliant advice. If you stay here, follow every word of advice you are given. The hotel is beautifully decorated in a 70s style with bright colours and patterns everywhere. Oh and the staff were so accommodating that the cleaning lady took notice of who had gone out and who hadn't and waited until we had left for the day before even coming near our room to clean it. We aren't early risers and we didn't have a knock on our door all week! We loved this hotel.

The only tiny thing I think a visitor may like to know about this hotel is that it is a 15 to 20 minute downhill walk from the center of Biarritz and the beach. Obviously this means that the walk home is uphill which may bother some visitors. However, we already knew this when booking and it didn't bother us a bit. If anything it meant we could enjoy more off the lovely basque food without having to worry too much about pilling on the holiday pounds!

Cool retro style decor in reception / lounge. Modern and bright bathroom suite. Convenient location for airport (10 mins by Route 8 bus which stops outside hotel) Bus also goes to centre of town every 20 mins but stops at 2000hrs. Friendliness of two men who manage the hotel.

Location inconvenient for beaches and town centre. The last bus to the centre is 2000hrs so rely on taxi to and from hotel ( 10euro each way and max 4 persons each cab) The Taxi service in Biarritz is simply appalling. Told unable to pre book and after 2300hrs waiting up to an hour at only taxi rank in centre. Previous reviews said pleasant 15 mins walk to centre. Our party was 2 adults and 4 teenagers. All very fit but boring walk when repeated many times and tiring when made more than twice a day. Absolutely nothing to do at hotel and no bars nearby. Rooms have No mini bar. No air-con. No English channels or news on tv. No mirror in bedroom. No cupboards or drawers whatsoever not even bedside cabinet so you basically live out of your suitcase. As no air-con we had to have window slightly open this let in noise from busy road outside with buses and lorries passing in the morning. We did not eat breakfast at hotel as would be 54 euro a day for 6 of us for a typical continental b/fast in hotel with no ambience or views. Would not recommend staying here unless for 1 or 2 nights only or you have a hire car.

The staff were great. Very helpful with directions and best places to go. The hotel is about a 10-15min walk to the beach but situated in a very quiet area so fantastic night's sleep! The rooms are very elegant and stylish.

I felt like I knew the host from before. I felt like coming back to friends!

All was perfect

Stqff were very welcoming. Free bus to town nearby between 7 and 7.

Room was extremely small and no room between bed and bathroom. No storage space.

The hotel was beautiful! Very well laid out and decorated.. Staff were amazing! So helpful and friendly.. recommending great spots to eat and drink.. even on a rainy day they had bright smiles.. offers of umbrellas and weather forecasts for better weather at hand. The hotel is a little walk from the town but we found the stroll very relaxing and more than a little necessary after all beautiful dinners!! We had a great holiday!

services des gerants deco

la Déco des années 70 est géniale l'accueil est trés chaleureux, disponibilité, service....

un peu éloigné du centre ville

limpio, acojedor, pequeño, los dueños muy amables, se esforzaban en expresarse en castellano y nos aconsejaban donde ir. Tan cómodo como un hotel de cinco estrellas, aunque las habitaciones un poco pequeñas.

no tiene ningun cajón y la luz entra por las cortinas en abundancia.

Hotel très joli et bien entretenu. Très propre. Belle chambre avec grand lit.

Chauffage à fond.

Malgré sa situation excentrée, le Mirano est une excellente adresse à Biarritz. Nous avons tout particulièrement apprécié l'accueil, la déco design '70 revisitée, le côté cosy de la chambre, et le petit-déjeuner. Un excellent rapport qualité/prix sur la Côte basque.
