The place feels sterile and boring, there's no atmosphere at all, a long walk from town. Surf hostel is much better.
Hostel response:
Hi Jake.We are sorry the weather was cold and wet while you were staying at the Biarritz Youth Hostel, and we understand that made you feel depressed and in a bad mood. But what can we do ? Mother nature is unpredictable !Regards... -

This hostel was in very good condition, compared to the poor quality I've received from other HI hostels. A bit far from the centre of Biarritz but the bus is really easy to take and the cab from centre is cheap. This is a good base if you plan to check out the other towns close by in the Basque region. I went in the low season and the other travelers weren't very exciting. When the hostel is full it could be pretty fun.
Hostel response:
Hi Leah, Thank you for your nice comment. We're glad you enjoyed your stay at the Biarritz Youth Hostel and we hope to see you again. Regards The Manager and his team. -

Really should re-think the sack-like sheets on top of plastic mattresses. Makes for an uncomfortable and loud night.

This was a nice hostel located quite a ways out of the city but in a very nice forested area, right beside a beautiful lake/park. The staff were really nice and helpful and the rooms were clean and comfortable. The kitchen and the bar were also a bonus! The only thing I didn't love was the weird sheet they gave you, a sort of pouch for you and your pillow. Otherwise it was lovely.
Hostel response:
Hello Isobel, Thank you for your comment. We are glad to hear you had a good time at the Biarritz Youth Hostel. We hope to see you again some day. You will always be very welcome. Regards, The Manager and his team -

This is one of the best HI Hostels I have stayed in. The staff was remarkable in all areas. I highly recommend a stay here..It's near the train station so convenient to visit other nearby towns..the WiFi in the common areas was top drawer and the other guests were a joy to be among.
Hostel response:
Hi Donald, Thank you very much for your comment. We are glad to know you enjoyed your stay at the Biarritz Youth Hostel. We hope to see you again some day. You will always be very welcome. Best regards. The Manager and his team -
