Hôtel Cosmopolitain

“An excellent hotel right in the centre of town”

This is not simply another characterless chain hotel. The rooms are quite large and very well decorated. The cleaning team does a great job and everything about this place seems fresh.

This is not simply another characterless chain hotel. The rooms are quite large and very well decorated. The cleaning team does a great job and everything about this place seems fresh. The hotel staff are very present and helpful and the common areas are attractive and bright. Although quite pricey, the hotel represents good value in this expensive town and its position smack bang in the centre of town makes it all worthwhile. The breakfast was most impressive. Top quality and varied, it represents good value at €13. A wonderful stay.

“Good location - poor reception”

Poor reception, akward and non-helpful. Arriving late, we asked the receptionist for a restaurant suggestion. He refused, just pointed out at the street. The hotel is fresh and newly renowated. Rooms are ok, however a bit unusual, location is great, problem is we never felt as guests, breakfast was… more

Poor reception, akward and non-helpful. Arriving late, we asked the receptionist for a restaurant suggestion. He refused, just pointed out at the street. The hotel is fresh and newly renowated. Rooms are ok, however a bit unusual, location is great, problem is we never felt as guests, breakfast was good, well worth the price.

“Light and Shadow”

First of all, it is not so easy to find a perfect place in Biarritz. We choose the Cosmopolitean.

First of all, it is not so easy to find a perfect place in Biarritz. We choose the Cosmopolitean. In the end we left with mixed feelings: POSITIVE: Friendly staff, hotel is really centrally located, beach and central-market very close. Excellent parking (by use of the hotel-service card for the public parking house) and last but not least an excellent bar with realy creative drinks. NEGATIVE: looks worn (but it is clean!), rooms in the main building are very small. Rooms in the annex building are larger, but are located groundfloor and have therefore blinded windows (so no daylight). Biggest disadvantage: the place is very noisy: during the day from the traffig, during the night from the entry of the night-club opposite. Therefore, it is hardly to let the window open during the nigth. However, if closed, the elderly AC is loud. So you need definitely a pair of ear-plugs if you want to sleep. (at least at the site of the building where our room was located).

“Just a night passing through”

The position of the hotel is great. Right in middle of Biarritz. There is a nice bar for drinks & breakfast. Breakfast was €13 each & was ok. The reason for the 3* rating was the room was just ok & nothing more. The door to the room was heavy & ill fitting & the loo was extremely small (separat… more

The position of the hotel is great. Right in middle of Biarritz. There is a nice bar for drinks & breakfast. Breakfast was €13 each & was ok. The reason for the 3* rating was the room was just ok & nothing more. The door to the room was heavy & ill fitting & the loo was extremely small (separate from shower). Shower needed a good bleaching as grouting grubby. (It’s such an easy thing to remedy I don’t know why hotel owners don’t sort it). A bit of retiling needed too. Overall, not too bad; small room but ok.
