although we didn't use all hotel facilities i.e. dining room - we can't fault the stay - it more than met our needs (we were attending a wedding and needed overnight accomodation) (108037481)

Overall, an excellent experience, despite the weather! Le Grand Large accommodated our request for a bellevue, which was very important to us, and was a good value. The studio was comfortable and well equipped for our needs. (97659308)

positive comments The view, the sound of the surf, the politeness of the staff.

The Grand Large was a very pleasant aparthotel. The situation was central for the town and the view from the balcony was wonderful. The checking in/out process was both trouble free and pleasant. Staff were courteous and helpful. The suite of rooms was clean, airy & modern and cooking & bathroom facilities were exemplary. Highly recommended (97045620)

positive comments Airy, spacious apartments with excellent facilities and a good location for exploring the town

John from Wallington, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 10 July 2007

We enjoyed our stay and found the room comfortable and well equipped. The ocean view from the balcony was stunning. There is a need for more information in the rooms about the hotel facilities and also about the attractions in and around Biarritz. (99186678)

positive comments The view from the balcony. Flexibility of having a kitchenette area and dining area. Comfortable beds. Plenty of wardrobe space.
negative comments Dodgy shower which alternated between being very hot and very cold on the same setting. Lack of information in the room - some in English would have been appreciated.

sandra from norwich, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 02 July 2007

All in all the accommodation was very good and would definitely stay there again. It was in a prime position to access the wonderful restuarants and bars and the surfing or sunbathing beaches if needed. We hired a car and found some great beaches up the coast - Ondres in worth a visit. Quiet beach but has a couple of good restuarants on the beach. We also found all the locals were very friendly and although little English spoken they are very helpful when you try to use the little French you may know. A visit to the indoor food market is a must with such a wonderful display of fish, meet, cheese and fruit a veg. We could learn a trick or two about how to display our produce to make it more attractive. The Chex Albert restuarant on the edge of the Port de Pecheur is expensive and to be honest not really worth the cost. Yes it serves fresh fish but so do lots of other restuarants at half the price. The dessert were very good though! All in all a great holiday. Thanks to all. (99945855)

positive comments the size of the room and the equipment along with the cleanliness over the whole two weeks with fresh towels every day and clean bed linen at least three times.
negative comments unfortunately it could be little noisey outside between about 2 and 3am due to surfers returning home after shutting of bars. It was a for a short time but could interrupt sleep. May be preferable to have room overlooking pool rather than the sea.

Tara from Dublin 12, IE (Family with older children) 29 June 2007

The hotel doesn't look that attractive from the outside but the accommodation was excellent. The studio was a great size with everything you could need. Staff were very friendly. If you had mobility problems it might not be a great location as it's up a hill. (99009874)

Gerard from NEWRY, United Kingdom;GB (Mature couple) 25 May 2007

Maybe the shuttle bus could have been put to more use. Collecting and leaving guests to airport, train station or to nearby towns and villages (for a small fee) other than having to pay taxi cabs. I stayed in the hotel in May but maybe this facility is there in the summer months when the hotel is much busier. (99724482)

positive comments the staff were very friendly and the hotel very clean. We had our dinner in the hotel most nights and found it good value for money.
negative comments Perhaps some entertainment at night.

The age profile of the guests - we stayed for 7 nights and the majority were old age pensioners. I would not recommend this hotel to young couples, however it would suit older guests (99676461)

positive comments The location was very central It was quiet and tranquil, staff were very pleasant
negative comments The age profile of other guests - seemed to be all OAPs, not ideal for a young couple in our 20's. The cleaner coming into the room with her own key at 10:30am and insisting on doing the cleaning while we were still in the room and had the 'do not Disturb' sign on

Robin from Fontcouverte, FR (Mature couple) 15 May 2007

Room very much a studio, with all equipment necessary for a 2+2 family - as such great value. Hotel really well situated in Biarritz - only a few minutes walk from centre of town, and from beaches, cliff walks etc. Staff very helpful. Breakfast serving area rather small, even at an off-peak time of year. But, given the pricing, and the value for money in Biarritz terms, this would be an excellent choice for a family summer holiday. (99222547)

positive comments Space, overall capability of accommodation. Helpfulness of staff.
negative comments Small and poor quality bath towels. Curious smell lingered in room for some hours.

positive comments The staff were very friendly and helpful. The shower was great. It was very handy to have a little kitchen with a fridge so you could have a snack if you wished.

Veronica from hainault, United Kingdom;GB (Group of adult friends) 06 March 2007

My friend and I had never been to Biarritz before and the information in the Hotel Details prompted us to book. We were very happy with the location and standard of the hotel. The view from our studio was breathtaking, highly recommend requesting a sea view. The breakfast at 7 euros was fresh and plentiful with decent tea bags!!, all the rooms are studios with well equipped kitchen facilities, so next time we go we will be taking hot chocolate to make ourselves a nightcap as the hotel bar/resteraunt did seem a bit deserted when we got back to the hotel at 10pm. (We did travel in low season which may explain that). The local resteraunts served some of the best food i have had in ages and the general area is very scenic and lovely to wander around. (99856946)

positive comments The view from our studio was magnificent. The hotel was well located nice and close to the centre but not to close to cause noise problems.

The staff were curtious, friendly and informative. The hotel and the room was kept very clean and the kitchenette had a full set of matching cutlery/crockery.
