Athos-Aspis Holidays from £318

Breakfast was lovely and plentiful with freshly-squeezed orange juice. Room was very comfortable - we had asked for room on a low floor, which we got. All staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is just a short walk from the very sandy beach and the bay surfers enjoy. It's also a couple of hundred yards from the town centre, a nightclub and post office. We ate each evening at the Bistrot Angeluan at the end of nearby Rue de la Bergerie. The staff there were very friendly and helpful - especially Josephine who speaks excellent English which she self-taught.

The property is beautiful. Well designed and reasonable in size. You instantly feel a sense of home. Staff is very welcoming and easy to talk to.

Personnel courtois et soucieux de vous offrir le meilleur service. Emplacement incroyable! Et que dire de la vue sur l'océan ;)

Check in at 3pm and check out at noon was easy and seamless with the very helpful and friendly staff who spoke to us effortlessly in English,our native language. Our room was on the 7th floor with uninterrupted view of the lighthouse, casino and the sea. We had a partial view of the beach too, and caught the occasion glimpse of the plucky surfers riding the waves. Accessing our room was easy with a smooth, fast lift. We always looked forward to returning to our hotel during our stay knowing we had a lovely clean room with a view 'to die for'. Whilst we enjoyed visiting Biarritz and its attractions, our stay in the Mercure President was the 'icing on the cake', for want of a better expression. The Hotel President has an excellent central location with numerous cafes and restaurants to explore nearby, from the local market for a quick breakfast to the iconic Cafe Miramar for dinner. Spoiled for choice on our 2-day break, we never got around to eating in the Mercure President and hence cannot comment on the breakfast, which was reasonably priced from 10 Euros. We would unreservedly recommend a stay at the Mercure President Hotel, and it would be our first choice should we be lucky enough to return to Biarritz in the future. Sincerely, Alan & Linda

Wonderful property in a quiet neighborhood that’s a ten-minute walk down the hill to the beach.
