Rooms and staff hospitality were fantastic. Had to take a Star away for the dining area. Food was good but zero ambiance. No background music or decorations on the walls, and it looked like someone set up card tables with tablecloths. Plain and uninspiring. Bar area and bartenders were top notch. Fantastic drinks!

When booking a 5 star SOFITEL you do expect something nice. All we can say is: the people working there where nice and location perfect BUT the maintenance and cleanliness of the place is not even worth one star. We would not stay here again and I actually hope getting a message saying my review has been deleted due to renovation. There were water leaking from a shower into the gym. The outside walls dirty dirty dirty and we had dog/human hair on the balcony. How the SOFITEL-group can be known having this low standard is surprising. This if maybe the first time ever I only post bad pictures because it is needed. I would never recommend anyone this hotel in Biarritz. Many better options!

Lovely stay at the Sofitel, Biarritz

Everything about our stay has been perfect! The staff are really friendly and professional, and the room is great. The bed is so comfortable too. The restaurant accommodated us for a late supper last night and it was a magical experience with a gorgeous sunset view.

I loved it. Comfortable room and bed. Excellent food. Friendly and helpful staff. Glorious spa and 2 free activities. Indoor and outdoor pools. Overlooking the beach. Short walk to town centre. Some say it needs an external paint job and it does. But that did not spoil my visit.

We had booked two rooms and unfortunately, the staff somehow only acknowledged one of the reservations, only after sharing the confirmation from Expedia and quite a bit of back-and-forth. Did they finally agree that two rooms were booked unfortunately even though it was in the evening, they made us wait quite sometime for the availability of the second room. However, let me be clear that the location is excellent.

Sofitel Biarritz - July 2025

Overall the hotel was quite nice. Our room was clean and comfortable, all amenities you need for a pleasant stay. The staff were friendly and helpful when checking-in. The outdoor pool was also clean. Generally, the hotel was showing signs of needing some refreshing (e.g. rust and peeling paint). Unfortunately we had a very disappointing experience at the spa and would definitely not recommend. My partner is not the type to complain but he said his massage was terrible. The spa therapist had poor technique (my partner described it as being similar to someone slapping on suncream) and they ran out of massage oil causing a lot of friction and discomfort. Very disappointing and unacceptable given the treatment cost of €135. We had pre-paid for the treatment and tried to give feedback when checking-out of the hotel, however the receptionist said it was her first day and did not know how to handle the complaint. The general spa facilities were average, I expected much better based off the hotel’s website. At nearly £300 per night, I generally think the hotel is overpriced.

If I had not stayed in Sofitels before I never would again after this one… I would think “oh, Sofitel. The brand that charges a 5 star price for a 2 star experience.” The condition of this property was shocking. The dead fish smell, ikea furniture, bulging, rusting, walls, broken air conditioning, leaky shower, this is why there are no photos of the interior on the listing. Look at the photos I attached and ask yourself whether you want to pay a 5 star price for that. Sofitel needs to renovate and refresh it or sell it.
