La Marisa - Saint-Jean-de-Luz

This is a gem of a hotel, nicely decorated, clean and with a cracking little courtyard. The location is amazing, 100 yards from the beach and you can hear the waves. Best thing about this hotel though is the staff - rarely have I found staff as nice or obliging. If you're going to St Jean de Luz, this is the hotel to book!

It was great!!!

We visited Hotel La Marisa for three nights in September with friends and chose the hotel based on location and value. It definitely succeeded on both fronts! The location in St. Jean de Luz is perfect - close to the beach plus walking distance of all the main restaurants and shops in the town. Plus, since this one of the bigger towns in Pays Basque you can easily rent cars nearby, get the train, etc. While the rooms are on the smaller side (typical of many European hotels I've stayed in), they're equipped perfectly for most travelers with a comfy bed and a nice bathroom. The service was great from start to finish with a helpful check-in and a nice send-off. They were kind enough to fuel us with caffeine in the morning and have a great little library with books on the region if you're looking to explore! We would stay here again if we came back to the region!

Everything was great. Nothing to complain about. The only reason I gave 4/5 on service is because there is nobody at the desk from 8pm - 8am. This didn't bother me in any way and if I were going to check in later then they said they'd be there. I'd recommend La Marisa to anyone and would stay again.

Charming hotel, great service, unique decor, good breakfast. Everything is in perfect condition. Our room was small but cozy. The friendly and helpful staff is really the most delightful part of this hotel!
