Stayed in a Comfort room.Room about 3mts sq.Bed very hard.Bathroom the smallest we have ever had to use,about 1mt. wide.Room clean but very basic.The worse thing was the street noise.Cars lorries motorcycles and building works.Did not have one good nights sleep.Did not try breakfast half the price in town.Booked this hotel on the stength of the reviews and photographs.Beware.Most 3star hotels in France are of poor quality.Stick to 4star or national chains such as Mercure,Novetel etc.

Hotel Alcyon is a small stylish hotel, extremely clean & tranquil. It is located one street back from the casino which is on the sea front. We were able to park on the street outside the hotel (meter system), however a public car park is located closeby. There is a pin code system to access the hotel in the evening & so we felt very secure staying here. I promise you will not be disappointed if you like to stay in comfort.

A beautiful boutique-style hotel, with friendly, helpful staff in a central location in Biarritz. However, it is not located 'a few step' from the station as stated on the website. It is a good bus journey away! The bus from the train station will bring you to the foot of a short hill up to the Alcyon, on Rue Larralde, beside Place Clemenceau for just €1.20.

The rooms were clean and nice with shutters and black out blinds so the room was nice and dark. The only thing I would suggest is more towels in the bedrooms. There was only one large towels supplied for a double room and about 4 small hand towels. For a couple shairing a room, we had to share a bath towel as the other towels were tiny. Water in the rooms or coffee making facilities would be an added nice thing to have. I did not have breakfast so cannot comment on this. The staff were very pleasant and helpfula nd a room available to leave luggage on the day of check out. Very reasonable price and well worth it. In the centre of town aswell

A fabulous hotel. Well located for the centre of Biarritz. Staff very helpful and welcoming. Rooms clean and warm and decorated to a high standard. Breakfast great value at 9 euro...good variety and freshly squeezed orange juice! I would love to return to this hotel in the future.

The Alcyon is well a well placed boutique style hotel close to the centre of Biarritz. Staff are welcoming and efficient, the rooms vary in size but are all attractive and comfortable. Breakfast is typically continental but the dining room and service enhances the experience. Excellent value for money. There is free street parking 300m away on the way back towards the airport. The Brasserie on Rue du Centre is the real thing. Bidart is pretty with a quiet beach. French route signage is appalling, if you want to visit St Jean Pied de Port in the Pyrenees,very worthwhile,look for the tiny Campo reference at the bottom of the sign past the airport on the way to Bayonne.

This hotel is one of my favorites in Europe so far. Public areas combine beautiful old wood trim with sleek, modern furniture. The room decor was quite modern and tasteful and the large window allowed the room to be bright and airy. Even with windows closed, weekend street noise can be a bit loud if you're sensitive to that (the hotel is just a couple blocks from the "happening" square). Bathrooms were small but still quite nice by European standards. The whole place was very clean. Cannot comment on the breakfast as we passed on that in favor in getting coffee in town. Note that you're on your own for parking and the hotel is a bit tricky to find the first time, even with GPS.

Comfortable stylish rooms with simple but fresh continental breakfast. Relaxed understated ambience. Centrally located. Only potential disadvantage is that it's on the corner of two small streets, which are minor but nonetheless busy enough to make the bedrooms noisy in warm months because there is no air conditioning.
