Not a deal breaker but it would be more helpful if there is someone who speaks English there while checking in.

Extraordinary stay as usual, this is my third time. Stayed in the new building which was beautiful. The room was amazing and spacious, amenities were beautiful. The lady who was there was super super nice. It is and will always be my go to place in Arcachon.

Not clear in Booking's listing that this was a guesthouse. I was expecting a small hotel. There is no sign on the property so we drove around the block a few times looking for it. The proprietress speaks no English and argued with me in French about which room was reserved. I had a print copy. Not a true bed and breakfast because the continental breakfast was an additional $15E. Huh?!

The guest house was located in a beautiful leafy neighborhood above the center of town. The garden was beautiful and we heard birdsong the whole time. The place was spotless with an amazing shower and good communal coffee maker.

We enjoyed the short walk (c10 mins) down to the town each day - you can go via the observatory tower and the park. The incline on the way back was not a problem at all and well worth it for the sea views and the lovely location of the hotel.

So glad we chose this hotel. Everyone was very welcoming and it felt more like a big shared home than a hotel. Breakfast was a highlight of the day - we arrived at 9am to find the big table set for about 12 people. Each place was set with a dish with eggs each day, a yoghurt based dish and a banana one plus croissants and bread and juice - there was enough to fill up on but it felt very healthy. The sea view from the breakfast terrace is outstanding. Our room (the blue room) over looked the pool and was a decent size and comfortable. We also had access to an area downstairs with tea / coffee and cake (4pm each day) and a reading room.

The breakfast was good but had quite a small portion of „main“ dishes with a lot of bread. There could be more egg or more of some side dish, some meat or anything to really have the feeling of a full meal and not get up slightly hungry after. Especially since it’s not included in the stay

Amazing spot in the hills with a view, feels like being a honored guest with wealthy friends. If you’re not wealthy yourself, you will be walking uphill and downhill to the beach a lot but that’s ok :)

Is was very impractical that one of the hosts only spoke French. I only speak a bit of French, so communication was a bit 'difficile', which led to confusion when we tried to ask for something. To be honest, I do not understand why you would hire someone for this job who doesn't understand any English, at a place where none of the guests are French. Apart from the communication difficulties, the staff was super friendly and helpful.

The rooms were big and clean with good beds. The villa's are located in the most beautiful part of the town on top of the hill with stunning views. All kinds of facilities available such as a pool, whirlpool, sauna. Breakfast was good as well.

It was difficult to locate because there was no identifying nameplate at the gates, which are rusty and do not convey the impression of its being guest accommodation

We liked the fact it was an old characterful property set in lush surroundings and with access to a beautiful view of the Bassin d’Arcachon. The pool was a bonus.

That we could not stay longer ;-)

Beautiful villa, lovely location above the town, very quiet, spacious room, very nice pool; (recommendation to go for the excellent breakfast with sea view!)

I cannot criticise anything. It isn't suitable for people of limited mobility - the rooms are on the first floor with a stone staircase. A handrail up the front steps would have helped me. Be warned that parking anywhere in the town centre is diabolical ! But that's no fault of the Hotel

Extremely helpful staff - impossible to find fault. Very quiet location with on-road parking right by the door. An interesting breakfast in a separate part with a terrace and lovely sea views/

Wonderful place in the beautiful Ville d'Hiver. Staff were incredibly friendly and our room was comfortable and clean.

Our bedroom was compact. Quite a steep walk back from the centre of Arcachon which was OK for us but not for everyone.

Very stylish property in a wonderful location with stunning houses close by dating back to the late 1800s including the home of Alexandre Dumas. The staff were lovely and the breakfast outstanding, they even baked a cake and left it in the kitchen for us. Kitchen facilities, tea/coffee and juice were available for the occupants use. (4 bedrooms in total.) Private parking was in the villa grounds and free parking on the street. Our rear bedroom had a pretty garden and pool view. We loved Arcachon and Cap Ferret and climbed the dunes at Dune du Pilat at sunset, fabulous.
