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.

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.

Moyen bien

On va commencer par le négatif, car c'est l'intérêt d'un feedback. Ma chambre était vraiment petite, et bien que je n'y suis pas resté longtemps, j'ai trouvé qu'il n'était pas simple de circuler. Très peu de rangements. Beaucoup de bruit, on entend les portes grincer, les claquements de portes, ... bref la sérénité n'est pas au rendez-vous. Le petit-déjeuner est très chère (12 €) pour ce qu'il y a. Mais sinon, ça va ! Le personnel est agréable et pro. L'hygiène est bien. Donc bon, ... Perfectible, mais pas non plus désagréable.

Hôtel correct avec parking

L'emplacement est idéal, la piscine et le parking sont de vrais atouts. Les chambres sont mal insonorisées et de petite taille, surtout la salle de bain. D'autant que j'avais réservé une chambre double et qu'on m'a attribué une single. L'accueil n'est pas très chaleureux.

Hotellet är trevligt och ligger i ett lugnt område. Gött med poolen på eftermiddagen efter en dag på stranden. Frukosten har ett dåligt utbud, de sparar på croissanter som inte gick åt dagen innan.. kan bli lite torra. Dock är väl 12 euro ett okej pris.

Je pense que cette hôtel a besoin d une restauration majeure. Pas d’assesseur pour les étages supérieurs, avec des valises c’est pas facile. La climatisation est désuète. Le wifi est à reconnecter constamment. Pour avoir un réfrigérateur c’était compliqué. Nous avions réservé une chambre pour 3 personnes mais ils ont modifier la réservation pour autre chambre , on a dû se plaindre pour respecter notre réservation mais on nous a mentionné qu on avait pas besoin de cette grandeur. Donc si l’aventure vous intéresse bonne chance.

Pourquoi 3 étoiles ?

Nous avions repéré un hôtel trois étoiles avec piscine...pour 110 euros, nous aurions pu, dû nous méfier. Piscine il y avait mais trois étoiles, il n y avait pas. De la réception, à la chambre, tout était désuet, exiguë. L acceuil, un bureau rempli de dossiers apparents, une hôtesse qui répond à un appel long, très long (à sa décharge le sujet concernait l hôtel), mais quand même. La chambre propre mais si petite! Une déco datée voire très datée, entre années 1950 et des 80', un désastre pour qui font rythmer beauté et simplicité. Suant

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!
