Hotel de l'Océan et restaurant - Coeur de ville - Biarritz
With a dream location in the heart of Biarritz, the hotel is 3 minutes from a large beach, which is shared by swimmers and surfers. The hotel is located on the Place Sainte-Eugénie, a quiet, semi-pedestrian square above the old harbor. It is just a few steps from all the beautiful sights of the city.
You can walk around Biarritz and enjoy the downtown area and the seaside. Many rooms have a vintage feel and others rooms are more modern.

The hotel is in an excellent location within view of the sea and in short walking distance of everything. On arrival, my room was upgraded to one with a small balcony which was much appreciated.
The breakfast offering was a little limited.

Staff in the bar ignored us at breakfast and in the afternoon and evening and turned away when we wanted service. I had to go into the bar to order a coffee.

Great location, lovely hotel with interesting design features. The room was comfortable with a fantastic view. The staff were very friendly and helpful.
The room was a bit tired, so some parts looks a bit dirty, eg the flooring was very old. The shower area looked grubby, but mainly just needed new grouting and silicone. It was not good value for money, I would expect a higher standard of finish and better breakfast for 300 euros per night.

The location was good and the bed was comfortable. We requested extra pillows and got them quickly.
On arrival, we were kept waiting for nearly 30 minutes while two members of staff were dealing with one customer. Later we needed an umbrella but there were none left.
The room was small with hardly any space for hanging clothes. As we were there for a full week of events we had a lot of suits and dresses to hang. They also have those locked coat hangers which are fiddly and annoying, as if people paying so much would steal them. Same with the soaps in the bathroom which were anti-theft so hard to use. For the price paid we expect much nicer products.
The bathroom was so dark my husband couldn't shave and I couldn't put on makeup. We had to use the mirror near the window for light.

Location is great. Price is expensive. Breakfast is basic, no hot food offered for €30 a head.
Bedrooms are small, en suites are tiny, my partner couldn’t get in the door of the shower, no bed side tables. Air conditioning is noisy. Breakfast is very basic for €30 per person, you don’t get offered any hot food. Main toilets in the hotel had no toilet paper are didn’t seem clean. No water in the bedrooms or a fridge.

If you want to be in Biarritz in the top place of the whole city, with one of the best views you can get, looking at the beach when you wake up, this is your place! Also, all the amenities are next to the hotel and it will take you literally 5 minutes to go anywhere. The main beach is also super accessible walking distance and the vibrant city centre, restaurants, the market(highly recommended to go for lunch), are also walking distance.
Definitely your place if you value distance from city centre and all the local amenities.
Well, if you go by car, fist issue, there is a parking in front of the hotel, but it gets busy super quick, be aware. Also not very cheap. The rooms are all right, but if you are a "big" person, you will not fit easily in the shower and also the room space is more a budget hotel rather than the premium you are paying. Hot water is either Satan's temperature or Ice Age and to go up and down, you can choose from a 50's elevator, that it gives you the feeling is going to fall in pieces at any second, or the good old wooden stairs, which will give you a hell of a creepy creaky noise at every single step.

The location is amazing in the main square, less than a minute's walk to the beach and very close to the beautiful harbour. The staff are very friendly and helpful, letting us leave our luggage and very helpful with the parking access while the town was pedestrianised. They even called ahead of time to let us know the best place to park. The building is beautiful and classic.
It would be nice to have a rooftop terrace option (although to be fair, if you have a balcony you wouldn't need this!) and the rooms weren't overly well sound-proofed through the doors. The bathroom was very small and not much space to open our luggage.

The staff at the Hotel de l’Ocean were exceptional. So helpful, so friendly, so kind. We added on an extra day to our stay, and the wonderful staff went out of their way to make the move into the new rooms easy. We started in the three bed family room for the first part, which was a little squeezy for three adults, probably better suited to parents with younger children, but it was fine. We finished with two separate rooms looking over the plaza, one with a massive king size bed, the other with a queen size bed but also had a fridge. The hotel has had renovations fairly recently so rooms and bathrooms were nice and modern. And the location was perfect. On the plaza, restaurants galore in the area, shopping, the beach in two directions, supermarket was a brisk uphill walk away, not far from the markets. Superbe!
There wasn’t enough towel hanging space in the family room. We had bath towels and beach towels to manage. Also couldn’t get the heated towel rails to turn on, but that might have been because it was mid summer and they weren’t operational, or I just couldn’t figure it out. A small fridge would have been nice to keep milk and cheese fresh.
