We loved Biarritz and this beautiful apartment steps from the beach, so many wonderful restaurants and shops, Les Halles, etc. EXCEPT that it is directly above Le Playboy, a popular nightclub open midnight to 6-7am every day of the week. It was closed during COVID so other reviews don’t mention this. The music was very loud and there are youth in the streets at all hours of the night and morning—some days talking loudly and playing music in the courtyard directly below the apartment until 8am. It was very hard to sleep through the noise, even with all the windows closed and fans on. Apparently this has been an issue for years (neighbors in the building confirmed) but the police, tourist office, etc. are not motivated to ask the club owner to keep music low, keep door shut and guests inside, etc. because the club has been there since the 1960’s! So this issue is here to stay and should be clearly disclosed in the apartment description, in our respectful opinion.
Je répète en français que l’appart est directement au dessous d’une boîte de nuit, Le Playboy, ouvert toutes les nuits de 24h a 6-7h. Le bruit est super fort même avec toutes les fenêtres fermées.
Otherwise, we absolutely loved this apartment! It is lovely and bright, with nice city views. Beautiful historic building, very well maintained. Full kitchen with everything we needed. Comfy beds. Plenty of towels. Nespresso store right across the street for coffee pods. We had the best stay and will definitely return.. we will just look for a quieter apartment next time.
Merci Biarritz!
