I was very satisfied with the Hotel Atalaye from my stay in July 07. Description from the website and subsequent details obtained from the hotel were 'spot-on' in terms of accuracy, no unwanted surprises !. The room we had was very bright with a great view of the Atlantic, and the staff were very pleasant and helpful at all times.... more

Well, I reserved a room back in Feb and had to cancel it due to travel changes a couple of weeks ago. I am still waiting for them to refund my deposit!!! Looks like it's not gonna happen as no one is getting back to me!!! So, dear people, please think before you book this hotel! more

On our way back from Segovia, my colleague insisted for staying in Biarritz, I was in favour of stopping in San Sebastian/Donostia We arrived in Biarritz therefore without a reservation and went around, we stopped at the Atalye due to its location. How wrong ... first of all we were "greeted" by the manager/owner, who asked for advance payment in... more

However, my main complaint is simply that the place was not clean.I was... more

We arrived at this hotel at around 1600 to find that they had sold our room to other tourists. When questioned about this they suggested that we had given them a wrong credit card number. August is the busiest season in Biarritz and to be stuck without a room after a day's journey from Bilbao with a pregnant wife was... more

Stayed 3 nights at the Hotel Atalaye in May 2004. This is a very basic, budget lodging -- one notch up from a hostel because it has private baths. Good location in town, close to Place St. Eugenie. Friendly staff. The clientele is generally quite young -- college students or recent college grads. No common areas other than the small... more

There is no air conditioning, and the place looked like it had not been cleaned in a while. The bathroom was really unpleasant in appearance and functionality. The room was spartan and lacked personality. You can't beat the price and location, though. We had a small terrace overlooking a beautiful plaza, and it was close to everything. Keep in mind... more
