What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“C’était une superbe expérience ! Nous avons été très bien accueilli et très bien conseillé. Je recommande vivement cette hôtel qui n’ai pas de toute jeunesse mais bien mieux que de nombreux hôtel de nos jours avec leurs accueil pas très chaleureux. De plus, une piscine, un parking et des salles communes y sont présentes ! Vraiment génial, je reviendrai sans même hésiter.”
“Magnifique séjour dans ce petit hôtel du pays Basque si charmant. Ambiance chaleureuse et service irréprochable ! :) Nous ne pouvons que recommander et nous reviendrons probablement. L'emplacement est idéal et permet nombre d'activités dans la région tout en profitant du calme et de l'authenticité de st Pée-sur-Nivelle. Merci encore et bon voyage !”
