8 rue Maison Suisse, 64200 Biarritz, France –

Lock in a great price for Hotel Alcyon – rated 8.8 by recent guests!

to get started.

Beach towels and parasols were provided by the hotel, even though it's not a beach hotel. Breakfast was free for children. Wifi was fast and stable.

NICE breakfast, VERY NICE staff, Central location.

Halfbask, United States of America

Loved everything about Alcyon! Gorgeous large immaculate room with large sunny windows and spacious modern bathroom. Five minute walk to le Grand Plage and shopping. Very nice selection of restaurants a block away in each direction as well as numerous larger restaurants near the beach. The bus stop and taxi stands are just a couple minutes away. The younger lady who was at reception most of my visit was delightful & very accommodating. The couple were very accommodating but less amenable about it. The petit dejeuner was plentiful. I took my extra bread along with some fruit & cheese for a light lunch/snack) later.

Good location in a lovely old house in town and really close to the Grande Plage. Nice room comfortable bed

Ruth, United Kingdom

The adjoining bedrooms for the family, which also worked well with our small dog. Location by the centre, and free parking nearby with drop off outside hotel.

Nicholas, France

This is a small boutique hotel that is located about a 5 minute walk from the promenade. The rooms are small, clean but well equipped. As a couple in our mid 50s we like a good nights sleep and the Alcyon provided just that. The hotel is very quiet and at times you would think you were the only guests staying there. There are plenty of restaurants and bars within a short walk of the hotel. The staff were very friendly and informative.

Robert, Ireland

Friendly staff at the reception. Clean room. Location good, as it is in the centre of Biarritz and a short walk from the beach, restaurants and shops. We did not have breakfast at the hotel so cannot comment on that.

Very nice small hotel in walking distance to all amenities.

“Basic hotel in the centre of Biarritz”
- • Leisure trip
- • Couple
- • Standard Double Room
- • Stayed 2 nights
Maybe we were unlucky with our room and perhaps other rooms were better? Our room was small and the bed was almost occupying the entire space of the room. The carpeting looked like it needed a deep clean, the drain of our shower was clogged, so we had to be careful not creating a flood when having a shower and it was just so noisy! Probably thin walls with hardly any soundproofing? We could hear all the traffic and people talking on the street and outside our room. Also, we could even hear if other guests from a few rooms down were flushing their toilets. For that reason we hardly slept at all during our stay. Wifi was also very unstable. All in all, if you're just looking for a basic hotel with a great location, I guess this will suffice. If you're looking for a good sleep with a bit more up-to-date decor and wifi, then maybe pick a different hotel.

It was good but the price is high for The room. I didn’t was awar in advance that there were locale Taxes. It’is Only on the check out moment that we were asked to pay extra €59.- for two nights. We didn’t Receive any receipt not for our staying Nor for the extra taxes we paid cash. We have no idea if the amount taxe is correct. But it looks to be exaggerated!!!!!!!

It is a small hotel on a narrow street. It felt a little cramped bit then Biarritz is very densely populated so without spending a lot of money that is what you get!
It was good location, a 5 minute walk from the centre of things. There was secure parking in a public carpark only a short walk away.

The room was just a bit too small, but this was actually expected due to the fact that the hotel is located in an old building. So, not a minus really, just mentioning in case it is crucial for any future guest.
Excellent location: 5-7 minutes walk from the beach and central street. Nicely renovated premises in a historic building. Staff: very welcoming and friendly. Very nice breakfast served in the hotel's salon. Beach towels and umbrellas - free of charge.
