Best Western Kemaris

Located a short distance from the city center, this hotel has a ground level parking lot. This should be a convenience to the car driver. The hotel itself seems to be recently remodeled. The furnishings and bath facilities are fresh and in fine working order. There is a pleasant breakfast room with an outdoor terrace. The walk to the nearest beach is about five minutes with a steep  downhill walk to the water. Otherwise about a 10 minute downhill walk to the center with the return to the hotel a walk all uphill. This said for people with walking difficulties. Should that be the case, it would be best to have a hotel in the center as Biarritz is built on hills. The not so great part of the hotel location is that there are no cafes nearby. There is a restaurant steps away. We stayed in standard room and a superior, the latter having a nice size balcony Modern style, no comfortable chair in either type of room..The  lobby is comfortably furnished. less

Spent to nights at this hotel arriving late'ish on a Thursday The lady on the reception was very nice and so very helpful. The room itself was really bright and clean as I have always come to expect from a Best Western I always try and stay with them. The bathroom was also spotless and had a great shower, The hotel is within walking distance of the town centre and restaurants and seafront and the Friday market of which the seafood one is really good. With Biarritz the parking there is next to none existent but the hotel does have a carpark but cost 14 euros per night which can soon mount up if you are there for more than a few days. But overall very happy with this place and recommend it and i will certainly stay again. less

Nice hotel in a good location within walking distance to all attractions, very helpful English speaking staff for whom nothing was too much. We were driving a nine-seater van that just made it in the parking lot, the receptionist kept a eye out for a good parking spot so that it would be easier for us to park. Good breakfast and fruit was always available in the lobby. We initially were given room 21 in the newer part of the hotel, this had a large wet type bathroom which made the floor very slippery and also there was excessive wind noise at night, the receptionist kindly changed the room for us in a quieter part of the hotel. One more small thing, lift is tiny and only takes two persons with their luggage. Overall good value, good location and great staff. less

Stayed in Biarritz for 3 nights for an off-season break. Location: Situated in a quiet neighbourhood slightly outside of the touristic centre. 10 mins walk to Cotes de Basque and Les Halles. Around €10 to the train station and €15-17 to the airport by taxi. Most attractions are within a walkable distance. Room: I booked a classic room for myself, the size is spacious enough for one person (plus a balcony). The room is clean and tidy. I agree that the edges are a bit tired in places, though it's minor to me. Meanwhile, I enjoyed the shower stall very much. Spacious and satisfying. My room is facing a primary school, so in the morning I can hear kids going to school. It's not noisy at all, but I can hear it. Breakfast: There are two options for breakfast. One is the express one including coffee, orange juice and Vienniose. Another one includes some regional produce, such as charcuterie, cheese and gateau de Basque. I don't usually wake up early enough for breakfast, but this time I happened to wake up early, and I thoroughly enjoyed it. It's certainly worth trying. Service: I'm impressed by the service in general. Most staff that I encountered are friendly and helpful. Yann, the reception staff, in particular, is amicable and accommodating. He made some good recommendations on places to go. I also had some particular demand, and he managed to sort them out for me. less

Nice little hotel with friendly staff. Pros: Staff speak English and are service minded, breakfast better than expected for a three star hotel, newly renovated and fresh rooms, quite neighbourhood Cons: Does not offer late check out less
