The hotel is not in a prime location but is a short walk from the station and the front (where I had breakfast every day). The hotel is a no frills 3 star place. I had a decent sized bedroom with a large bathroom. Nice and relaxed atmosphere (used the backdoor which was always open rather than traipsing through reception). Quiet room, comfortable bed and thorough daily housekeeping. Good value.

Great location and good value for the price in comparison with other properties in Arcachon. Has character and a great building although is in need of some refurbishment. Everything clean, though, and fine for a 1-night stay. It should be made clear in advance this hotel has no lift and we were on the fifth floor and are in our mid-sixties! We managed but not for everyone!

Horrible room!! We couldn’t sleep, the bed linen seems had dust mites. Damp and felt like a prison cell! The staff seemed friendly though. Strange that we had to book what time to eat breakfast. Good location, but we will never come back to that hotel!

Check in was absolutely not allowed until 3:00 pm. Most hotels in the region have been flexible for early arrivals of 30- 60 minutes. Receptionist was quite abrupt. I doubt that they were facing a soldout condition. They did allow us to store our bags while we exploredthe area. We are a 76 year old couple and we were assigned a 5th floor atic room that required climbing a narrow steep stair after entering the room. A 20 something may have found it romantic. We should probably asked for a different room. areapm.

You get what you pay for (60€/n)

The hotel is pretty from the outside. It is outdated inside as you see in the pictures of the bathrooms. The bed is confortable enough Towels were fine. Pillows were too soft There were no fridge, no kettler. Asked for the kettler, cups and forks but lafdy seemed surprised and said "i'll try", which is succeeded. Hotel is 10 min walking distance from city center and 5-10 min from train station. Overall ok stay for 60€/night.

Disliked: Cleanliness, property conditions & facilities
Our room had no air conditioning (despite being advertised as having it), no airflow, and was in the basement next to the breakfast room. Maybe other rooms are better, but this one is unfit for guests. There was also black mold on the ceiling in the bathroom and in the air vents, which is not surprising given how hot and steamy the room was all the time. Yes, the decor is old and the room is small, but it was really the temperature that made it completely unsuitable. I’ve stayed in inexpensive hotels all around the world, but have never had a room as bad as this. It was also advertised as a bike hotel, but only allowed check in after 3 (not simple after a long morning of riding). It also only had bike parking available outside—if we had been on more expensive bikes, this would have been a big concern.

Hôtel de charme sans charme

Très déçus Chambres et salle de bain ridiculement petites aucune décoration dans la chambre . 3 prises ne fontionnaient pas et aucune à la tête du lit. Ascenseur intile car se trouvant entre 2 étages donc pas du tout adapté au handicap Plein d"escaliers.Tapis de bain effiloché. Un point positif son excellente situation géographique.
