Staying in Biarritz and Bayonne

I found this place satisfactory:

Hôtel Des Arceaux
26 Rue Port Neuf
64100 Bayonne, France
05 59 59 15 53

Biarritz has two good youth hostels who treat older people exceptionally well. One is two blocks from the train station. When I stayed there it was 18 Euros for a years pass to the youth hostel association, the night at the hostel including breakfast.
Also if you Google two-star hotels you'll see lots of very suitable ones in the historic part of town. I have stayed at different ones and they were all fine. One that comes to mind is the Auberge du Relais, 44 Avenue de la Marne, 64200 Biarritz. tel:05.59.24.85.90 fax:05.59.22.13.94 Or you can go the whole spa route and spend the big bucks if you're in the mood. :wink:
