Had a brief stop over in Biarritz before heading back to the States. The Oxo is a perfect location to access Biarritz by foot. The hotel staff is extremely helpful and accommodating. From everything from umbrellas to bags for a damp wetsuit. If you surf, they have a place to store your board. You can reach both breaks in town by foot. The hotel provides a nice breakfast buffet, however, if you are like me and want to experience the local flavor there are some great places under five minutes from the hotel. Viennoiserie is open early by 7:30am for pastry. Le Coupole Cafe for petit dejeuner. Los Dos Hermanos next to the hotel is also a great place to grab a Basque dinner. The bartender seems to be a bit of a local attraction. A true showman behind the bar. Communal tables, sangria, and very large portions. If you are solo, you might want to skip the appetizer. My one and only complaint at the hotel would be the bath products. At the end of a trip when you are running low, It would be nice to have a complete variety of product available... forgo the shoe shine brush for some conditioner. If you are a couple, ask about the room size. The room I stayed in was a double, but it would be small for a couple with luggage. The hotel is very clean and very functional. It's a great base for a few days. Location, service and all your basic comforts. A great value for a great little hotel! I would highly recommend the Oxo.
