The moment we arrived, the lady on reception was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful, and this level of service continued from all staff until we checked out. Great decor throughout the hotel and it was very conveniently located so we could walk to restaurants and bars. We would definitely stay here again.

Having explored around Biarritz, the Saint Charles area is safe, affluent and quintessential French. We loved the restaurants and Charlie’s bar.

Nice room with a balacony. Close to the seafront. Excellent air con, good shower. No fridge which would have been handy and breakfast didn't have a lot of options, no gluten free bread but did say could order. Decent hotel, would stay again.

This hotel is only a short walk from Grande Plage but in a nice quiet location. We were there in a heatwave but the air conditioning kept us cool and comfortable. A selection of teas were provided in the room.
Good restaurants nearby.

The parking was excellent for the motorbikes and 4 went in one space. Receptionist was excellent. My room was good. Two friends had triangular rooms which were a bit small. An easy walk to town.

Good location, not in the city centre but near Grande Plage. Bus station and food market are near too. Breakfast was okay but little bit expensive. Staff was very helpful. Special thanks to Antoine who helped me at night when my flight was canceled. I recommend this hotel!

The staff was amazing & went out of their way. The location is perfect. The room was very small & beds not so comfortable. Could use updating. There was no electrical outlet on my side of the bed so I had to sleep with my head at the foot of the bed to plug in my CPAP machine.

Not for the light sleeper
- Room had very poor insulation and it felt like the hallway was part of your room, which is less ideal for a good night's sleep. Door was very thin.
- very small room. It fits a bed and that it.
- nowhere near place your luggage, towels or jackets.
- a bit off the center
+ Room and bathrooms was clean upon arrival.
+ friendly receptionist
+ breakfast better than many other 2/3-star hotels.
