Hi MichelleWT. I don’t know about the Hotel Monte Carlo in Bayonne. However, my friend and I have booked the Hotel Cote Basque on booking.com. It is 100 metres from the Bayonne Train Station. You could also try booking.com for accommodation in SJPdP. If you do a search on this forum for accommodation in SJPdP you will get plenty of good suggestions from Forum members. Buen Camino!My daughter and I arrive at Biarritz at 9:30PM on July 25th. I have read the previous threads that recommend to stay at hotel Monte Carlo across from train station at Bayonne. My question is how I can book the hotel in advance? It does not seem that we can book on their website. I had send an inquiry through their contact form (in English) but they have not responded. If we walk in that late at night, is there any chance we can get a room?
About the bus from Biarritz to Bayonne: how late does it run? Do we just get the ticket at the station when we arrive at the airport?
If we want to spend a couple hours in Bayonne before heading to SJPDP, What would you recommend to do? We like beautiful landscape, local cultures and food. I will consider to stay one more night.
Where to stay in SJPDP? We like simple and clean accommodation and nice people, and we don't mind to share bathroom.

I’ve stayed at Hotel Cote Basque twice now and thoroughly recommend it: perfect location, friendly staff and spotlessly clean. Really lovely rooms too.Hi MichelleWT.

Are you sure this will be the case when the OP arrives on 25 JulyI’ve yet to explore Biarritz but have found Bayonne just right for decompression.
Thank you Kathar1na and Biarritzdon for alerting the OP and others to this festival. It could be a very interesting experience if you had time to explore before travelling to SJPdP. However, looks as though accommodation will be more of a challenge to secure and at a much higher cost.Are you sure this will be the case when the OP arrives on 25 July? An earlier quote from @biarritzdon has this to say about the festival Fêtes de Bayonne that takes place from 24 July to 28 July 2019 this year:
The fete in Bayonne [...]: be ready for huge crowds and a lack of places to stay. This event is much like San Fermin with bull running, music, free flowing beer and much merriment.Much of the town of Bayonne (but not the train station) will be within a festival perimeter (see area marked below). Access is free on Wednesday 24 July and Thursday 25 July but from Friday to Sunday 26-28 July 2019, visitors will have to pay a one time entry fee of 8 € and wear a bracelet.

The numbers 1-10 mark the entry points to the festival area. Entry number 1 is close to the Bayonne train station.
