We needed a three day port-in-a-storm with our 11-year-old and found it at the Alcyon. All the positive comment about Cristina is justified: charming, helpful, booked us restaurants, buoyed us up despite biblical rain, a lift to the spirits. Free access to computer for our daughter to Facebook half the planet in downtime. Hotel happy to put up extra bed... More

Charming, spacious, Cristina @ reception was so helpful with directions, zrestaurant recommendations. Parking available in nearby public garage for 9 euros a day. Plentiful continental breakfast. Small but cleverly designed bathroom with lots of storage. Quiet at night. No view, but beach is a 5 minute walk away. We loved this place!! More

The owners (a couple) are eager to help (map, info on restaurants,... More

We spent 3 nights in the Alcyon and enjoyed the hotel and Biarritz so much that we wished we could have stayed a few nights longer. The location is perfect - close the town centre and a short walk to the beach but on a quiet street away from the tourist crowds aong the seafront and central squares. Eric and... More

Owned and managed by a local family, it has a warm, friendly atmosphere, and they are very helpful regards local wine tasting, restaurants,etc provided you ask. Parking is nearby and costs 10 Euro per 24 hours as long as the car is not moved, and most everything is within walking distance, so this is not a problem. An easy five... More
