  I cannot say enough positive things about AH - Les Halles. I rank it in many ways as one of the best places I’ve stayed in recent years. It gets all of the basics right: simple but beautifully spare rooms, excellent shower/bathroom. Some generous touches made a huge difference, like coffee and tea available all day in the eating area. The beach towel was also very welcome, as was a tote bag to put it in to! Where AH-LH really exceeds is the warmth and helpfulness of every single member of staff. I would happily stay here with my beloved, but this time I was on my own, and the people here made such a difference to my comfort and enjoyment. Food is excellent: breakfast is high quality, wide-ranging and well worth eating in. I confess, I also loved going around the corner to Les Halles to eat breakfast there and to soak up the atmosphere of a busy, working food market. Stay for lunch: one of the best meals I had in Biarritz and by far the best value. (Tip to hotel: it might be worth leaving a menu in the rooms; otherwise guests may think one of the nearby bars/restaurants would be better. They’re not!) All in all, an outstanding four days in Biarritz. Also - location is great. I loved going down to the old beach for a swim in the morning and evening, and wondered should I have stayed closer to it; on balance I prefer being in the centre of everything. It felt more local, while the beach was a bit more touristy. Also it’s about a 5-6 minute pleasant walk. This is not a negative, but worth noting for those who might think so! No lift, so if you’re going up and down two flights of stairs, it might feel a lot. For myself, I welcomed how well my jeans fit as I left!

  Perfect Place to stay in Biarritz. Staff is really nice, the Bed is awesome and cozy, Room is clean and for France bigger then usually. And they offer Free Coffee from a Jura Machine. Breakfast is really nice (if you are not vegetarian/vegan). Nice Bicycle to rent, 35€ per day & person.

  We stayed for 3 nights at Alfred Hotel in Les Halles and these are my general thoughts: -PROS- 1. Great location - centrally located to all shops, bars, restaurants, beach, etc. We walked everywhere. 2. Cute decor - loved the simplicity of the design, tiles, drapes, bedding. Very chic. 3. Check-in staff was friendly, provided tips on the area, and gave us a complimentary breakfast on day 1 as we were celebrating our honeymoon. 4. AMAZING hairdryer - as someone who packs light when travelling to europe, I usually leave behind my hair dryer and rely on whatever is provided at the hotel. I am always disappointed but can say this was the best I’ve ever used, even compared to 5 star hotels I’ve stayed at. 5. Breakfast was good and had a nice variety but we went 30 mins before it ended so not much was left - go early. 6. A/C in room worked really well. Always felt cool and comfortable, especially at night. -CONS- 1. Cleaning service was poor and unreliable. For example, our coffee cups were never cleaned/replaced after we used them on our first day. Our toilet paper was never replenished, we were down to a few squares of paper on our last night. The floors were always sandy and dirty, so clearly not cleaned. Bed was made and towels replaced once but that was about it. 2. Room lacked basic things such as jug of water, body lotion, conditioner, etc - a sign in the bathroom stated they were available at an extra charge though. 3. Hallways were noisy - we could hear doors slamming pretty much all night. 4. We were placed in the building next to the main hotel - not a huge issue as we are physically healthy but be aware there is no elevator. Also, because we were missing a few things throughout our trip, and there were no phones in the room, it felt like a drag to make our way down and across the street to the main hotel. All in all we had a great time and the hotel was perfectly fine for a couple days, however it is very much a 3 star hotel at best so for anyone considering it, just manage your expectations so you’re not left disappointed. I would return but not for anything longer than a couple days.
