One more time this was a very nice stay

Customer review rating 5.0/5

Christophe B. Couples - 02/12/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

After two years because of Covid we could stay again in this very nice hotel, the team has changed and still very motivated. you will spend a very nice time in the Spa and Hamam. Food is excellent at the buffet for the breakfast, the breakfast in the room was not that good in comparaison.. bread was black over cooked... Also at level of our room 509 the carpet in the corridor must be changed urgently... I only see this very poor quality of carpet in old hotels with one star

Most rude staff!

Customer review rating 0.5/5

Hated Y. H. Solo - 15/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Absolutely RUDE staff at your front desk. I had to call 5 times when I arrived at the train station and there were NO taxis to get to the hotel. One of the staff said extremely snottily, "you needed to book a ride with us in advance from the train station". OK, WHERE IS THIS WRITTEN? My stay was booked through a tour company and they did NOT indicate this nor arrange it. Oh, and did I mention that it was POURING RAIN? When I finally arranged a ride to the hotel myself (after over an hour), I arrived at the hotel to find that my room was not ready. Everyone around me was given their rooms. I was told that they would call me to let me know that the room would be ready - ASAP. They never called. I waited 3 hours and no call. The staff at the front desk was rude, arrogant and snotty.

Gerald Couples - 05/10/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

This was our 3rd stay with you … and it was completely relaxing. It is hard decide on what the was the best feature: The bed? The ability to leave the door open at night and hear the waves hitting the sand? The location? The staff (who were charming, helpful and professional)? The only issues were 1) that the air conditioning didn’t work 2) the large crowd from the hair stylist convention (they loudly partied until about 2 a.m.).

Dear Guest, Thank you for choosing the Sofitel Biarritz le Miramar for your stay in Biarritz, and for your very complimentary comment.

A hotel with a fantastic view

TripAdvisor rating 4.0/5

ExpatinChina Couples - 17/09/2021 TripAdvisor review

The hotel has a fantastic location with great sea views. The rooms and terraces are very spacious. We were warmly welcomed by the Guest Experience Manager and the service was excellent throughout the stay. Bathroom experience (water pressure, important to me!) was good. As per my personal opinion, the hotel requires a renovation update, especially la façade, otherwise all good and value for money.

Dear ExpatinChina, It is such a pleasure to receive your wonderful comments further to your recent experience at the Sofitel Biarritz le Miramar. I was delighted to read how much you enjoyed your stay with us: whether it was the perfect view, the comfort of your room or the welcome you received. Please be assured that your kind words have been shared with all the teams who were so proud to read your message. It will be my great pleasure to welcoming you back.

Customer review rating 4.5/5

Paulina Families - 02/09/2021 Confirmed reviews ALL

Arriving for a short family vacations, after a bad experience in another hotel, we came at the Sofitel, and everything was very welcoming, really liked the attention to details, little slippers, bathrobe and bathroom things for my child. Great Buffet Breakfast. Nice sea water swimming pool, calm and attentive staff. Very comfortable bedding, room service twice a day. We had a nice view of the ocean. The sauna's showers would need better ventilation somehow... Nice gym, fantastic to have direct access to the beach, maybe Sofitel could have some chairs and umbrellas for the hotel guests at the beach as well?... It was very nice to come back to the room and always have new bottles of water. We had lunch and dinner every day at the Hotel, with beautiful sunset. The only thing is that the last night we were there, we wanted to have dinner at the bar in the swimming pool terrace, which is right in front of the sunset, and we could not, because there were a group of other guests that had reserved that area around, but I did not see them coming at all during that night, so that was the only downfall of our stay. Another big suggestion, which I do not know if the owner would be up for it, but, as an architect, I would place the restaurant terrace tables, in the lower level of the swimming pool terrace, overlooking at the beach, and perhaps the service/kitchen, could be right underneath the upper level swimming pool terrace. You can contact me if you would like to understand this better. In the same line, it is also a pity, that inside the restaurant, close to the window that faces the sea, the metal window frame is exactly on the level of the eyes once you are seated. This could be improved, if you build a wooden platform were the tables are, so that the person seated is able to actually look at the ocean, instead of being blocked by the window frame. I can also explain this better with drawings if you would like. Wishing you a good continuation of the year and thank you.

We very much enjoyed our stay at the Sofitel in Biarritz. It was our first visit to the town, which we really enjoyed, and the location of the hotel was excellent. The room was spacious and well-appointed. However, we were surprised at the poor conditions of the exterior of the hotel, which looked tired and dilapidated. Th staff were in general excellent, but service was slow - there appeared to be too few staff to serve the guests properly.

kirillbond2020 22/07/2020 TripAdvisor review

The hotel has everything going for it - superb location, large rooms with terraces, excellent pool and spa facilities however the rudeness and incompetency of the guest relations manager and some of the front desk staff has spoiled our 8 night stay - we got the worst placed room with leaky bathroom ceiling, had to repack and wait to be moved to a new room (not an upgrade) that had construction in front of windows. When we finally were offered an acceptable room (only available upgrade), we lost a day moving 3 rooms in one day and the hotel staff lost my shows when moving my luggage. Only bright light was the hotel manager Celine stepping in on LAST day to offer compensation for lost shoes.

Dear kirillbond2020, We would like to thank you for the comment that you have left on Tripadvisor concerning your recent stay at the Sofitel Biarritz le Miramar. I deeply show my apology about any inconvenience caused during your stay. I have notified the situation that you mentioned above to the respective departments in order to correct them immediately and I would like to assure you that such matters will not happen again, as this is not representative of the hotel service.
