Best Western Kemaris

A slightly dated hotel close to seafront and beach. Tiny bedrooms with coffee making facilities. Very small reception area with friendly staff. Clean, functional hotel probably 2 star by USA standards. less

Hotel is located in 2 buildings across the road from each other. Reception is in new building, we stayed in the 'old' but very nicely renovated one. First room was good, however with windows facing street it was extremely noisy. When asked to change the room, we ended up in a 'superior' room in the same building, that had a small terrace but was almost twice as less as original regular room. So don't pay extra for the superior room. Parking was 13 EUR and you need to book it in advance, as they have very small lot and on street parking is not free even on Sundays during the season. less

A very nice place to stay in Biarritz. Ask to be in a room with a balcony - they are excellent. The room was very nice, modern and our stay was perfect. The place is a bit far from the center (which might be a minus) - around 15 min walk. All considered it was a good value for money. less

The hotel is in two buildings either side of a public, but not busy or wide, road. It is a ten minute uphill, initially quite steep, walk from the centre so we thought the location OK but not particularly good. Anyone with walking difficulties should avoid. It is close to the cliff top which gives a good view of the surfers way below but if you walk from the town round the prom you finish with a very steep cliff path. We stayed in the hotel which looks most modern but appearances are deceptive. The traditional hotel we first thought a bit grim, but was modern and fresh when we went in. Both sides had lounges, quite small, but I didn't notice the bar listed on the amenities. Our room was a reasonable size with a desk area and good wi fi, about 20 Mbs, The lavatory was immediately when you came in but the washbasin was with the shower off the bedroom. The shower room was a good size and the shower very good but a bit slippy and no grab handles. The bed was OK but I suspect the mattress and the duvet may be due for replacement this winter. We slept well though even though the room was over the road. No noise. Breakfast was taken in the old hotel and was very good with some emphasis on local and Bio products. Eggs and cheese, good croissants and usual jams, cereals, local Basque speciality cakes and yoghurts made for a substantial vegetarian breakfast. I didn't need to eat again until the evening. A good three star hotel but I would probably go elsewhere because of the location if I return to Biarritz. less

We loved our deluxe room with balcony and sea view (from standing) providing private sunbathing and two sun loungers. The hotel is in a great location 15 mins from the town centre and beaches. Our room was air conditioned, had stand alone bath for two, with sink, separate loo and wardrobes behind a room divider where the bed was located. We didn’t take breakfast at the hotel although it was available. Private parking is available although it’s tricky to enter, we were advised to drive around the block to gain easier access. Cannot fault this hotel or the location and would definitely recommend/return. less
