Maison Louis XIV

Great room, new hotel so everything in decent shape. Large car park. Staff member on reception wouldn’t check us in without passports on every guest, which having come from France where everything is more relaxed, this seemed pretty intense. I dunno, maybe it’s a law in Spain. Decent buffet style breakfast too. Overall a good stay on the way through the Basque region.

A pleasant stay at Le Garage. We liked our room and had a tiny outdoor seating area that was screened from the street and neighbouring terraces with a few plants. The reception and breakfast area was nicely designed. We didn’t use the outside pool area at Le Garage. It was smaller than expected and the entire garden area seemed to be covered in astroturf. Breakfasts were delicious and the staff were pleasant and polite. It’s great that you can use the facilities in the large hotel opposite, such as the spa and gym. This added to our stay. There are no amenities directly outside so it’s a good location for a quiet break. There is a lovely walk nearby around the lighthouse with spectacular views. The 20 minute or so walk into Biarritz is downhill and very pleasant, passing beautiful buildings. You can cut in to walk along the coastline too.
