Urgent!! - Accomodation Biarritz?

[mattdo]

Hi All.

I am starting the camino next week. I don't get into Biarritz airport until 21.25 in the evening!! Looks like I will need to stay in Biarritz for the night as there will be no late train to Saint-Jean-Pied-de-Port.

Does anybody know of reasonable priced accommodation/hostel that I could stay at, that would be near enough to the bus station.

Thanks a million!

Mattdo,

Biarritiz is expensive. One less elaborate downtown hotel is Hôtel Barnetche
5 av. Charles Floquet. See this link >> http://www.hotel-barnetche.fr/.

Near the airport at Anglet there is a popular youth hostel. See this link >> http://www.touradour.com/shops/auberge/ ... arritz.htm.

Another alternative would for you to go by bus from the airport to Bayonne and stay for the night before taking an early morning train to SJPdP. One possibility close to the rail station is the Hotel San Miguel.8, Bis Rue Sainte Catherine. See this link >> http://www.booking.com/hotel/fr/san-miguel.en.html
