Hôtel Jules Verne Biarritz

Centrally located, 15 minutes from the airport on the 11 bus for a small fee. (Tip: retain travel card). Accommodation very comfortable / we had a superior double and an adjoining twin room for our family group. This was super for socialising. The hotel had a gym which we used on a few occasions, a swimming pool with umbrellas, cosy sun beds & tables. This area was a sun trap. The hotel was in very close proximity to a large supermarket called Carrefour which had almost anything you would require for snacks. There were a number of restaurants in close proximity. The reception staff were very courteous, spoke a number of languages. They recommended a few places to eat which we visited: La Bonne Flanquette - small menu facilitated by a husband & wife team. Food was amazing - highly recommend the Duck (Canard Margret to be eaten medium rare). Also Los Dos Hermanos (7 minutes walk) - superb. Amazing wines - must visits.

Very nice and comfortable room. They seem recently renovated and the aesthetics are very pleasing.

This hotel is in a nice quiet, easy to get to from airport - it's about 9 stops on the 36 bus going to "Cite" and stops at Guy Petit bus stop right outside hotel (make sure it is the Cite destination as the 36 also goes the other way, to Anglet! ) when you get to the Floquetb stop you can ring the bell as it's the next stop. The hotel is very nicely styled, and communal areas are clean and tidy and quite classy. The breakfast is excellent with selections of fruits, bread, meats, cheeses, croissants, cakes, and you can make fresh pancakes or boiled eggs. There is warm ham and scrambled eggs as well. Reception staff are excellent, friendly, helpful. The outside pool is great, kept at 26 degrees and sun loungers and parasols are very good quality. It's mostly grass garden around the pool. Reception will give you nice big towels too use at the pool, free of charge There a small gym that could easily keep the gyms fans going. The room was small but that was expected as it was clearly detailed - there's about 100cm space around the bed. Plenty of clothes storage storage and bathroom is very good. Bed is very big and comfortable. The whole place is very quiet. The only very slight mark down was for room cleaning. They operate a commendably sensible process where you have to put your door card out of you want it cleaned, otherwise they don't. That's great for saving wasted towel clean etc. We left it out every second day or so but, while they wiped bathroom area and changed the towels, they didn't restock the loo roll, coffee/milks or seem to clean much of the room (floor was still dusty). The other thing to know is the air con is controlled by reception so the box in room is redundant. They are helpful in changing the temperature up/down to your preference if you ask. Oh, and they'll give you more coffee sachets! The hotel is a ten minute walk down hill to town centre.

Hotel is 10 minutes walking distance from Biarritz centre. Located in quiet part of the town. Front of house staff were excellent. Supermarket and bus stop for the airport outside the door. Room was perfect for our short stay. Breakfast available but we ate out in the city. Pool and seating area brilliant on hot days. Lots of games etc. for indoor entertainment. We loved the use of the Jules Verne theme throughout - this included headboard and available books.

Lovely hotel and staff, swimming pool lounge area, room was very clean and good shower. Nice decor in hotel. Comfortable bed. Changed our beds from twin to double on request. 15 minute walk down town. Up hill back though! Near busy roundabout but didn’t get woken by the noise. Didn’t use the restaurant.
