Hardly a better location than Le Grand Hotel in Bayonne. Some people may be put off by the historical qualities of the hotel; that is, the original (thus smallish) elevator, the odd but original room layout, and as several people have pointed out on tripadvisor, the lack of on-site parking. For us, the staff was friendly and the “old” features... More

Somethings very good other things definately not so. The good - Reception, very helpful in looking things up, giving directions, providing tea! Wardrobe/shelf space in the room. Breakfast pastries. Location. The not so good - Breakfast room was cold, bath awkward to get in and out of. The bad - The coffee machines at breakfast, these are domestic level so... More

We stayed at this hotel for a couple of nights in september. The location of the hotel was excellent, parking seemed to be causing some people a problem, however there was plenty of car parks nearby and the hotel does have its own parking in a secure garage, this cost us 13 euros per night and we felt was well...

The location was excellent, though street parking proved tedious. The rooms were very spacious, with excellent large modern bathrooms and good quality linen, pillows and towels. Breakfast was more than adequate, with a good variety of the usual continental meats, cheese, fruit, pasteries etc. The rather antiquated lift did raise a few questions as it did squeak etc

This hotel was fine for our travel needs. Small rooms with even smaller bathrooms..but there was a hair dryer! Staff were very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was always a wide variety of meats, yogurts, breads and sweetbreads. Antique elevator was quite fun to operate. Rooms were very clean and housekeeping came daily. I thought it was great to be located... More

Nice large room with 2 double beds. Good linens, tons of pillows and white clean towels with air conditioning and refrigerator. While it had parking, it was quite daunting for someone not used to ramparts with a manual shift car. We decided to park in the city parking. No kettle unless you know to ask for their “courtesy tray” they... More

An older building in a very good location, just away from the bustle but a few hundred feet from the cathedral and the river. The room was clean and large for French standards, but everything had an "old" feeling (creaky floors, doors that don't quite fit,..). Indifferent staff. Difficult time connecting to Wifi, and only in common areas. Don't use... More

Very well located hotel in central Bayonne, near to shops, cafes, cathedral, museums and the riverside restaurants. Also easy to get to the bus stop and station. Nice spacious room with all we needed and very quiet. Only gripe with the room was that there was not much of a view. It was quite difficult to find out information from... More

BAD HOTEL MANAGEMENT PLEASE READ ON. We took a group to the Grand Hotel Bayonne 11th July 2012 for 5 nights. It is our company policy to visit all hotels prior to making any bookings as we wish to ensure the standard is acceptable. On arrival we were devestated by the appearance of the entire ground floor. The builders were... More
