We had booked two rooms and unfortunately, the staff somehow only acknowledged one of the reservations, only after sharing the confirmation from Expedia and quite a bit of back-and-forth. Did they finally agree that two rooms were booked unfortunately even though it was in the evening, they made us wait quite sometime for the availability of the second room. However, let me be clear that the location is excellent.

My family booked this hotel thinking it looked like the pictures on the internet – it didn’t; the Sofitel Biarritz needs an URGENT refurbishment as it looks awful.
This Sofitel property should be taken away the 5* status immediately, as in reality, it has the condition of a 3*.
The carpets across the hotel are extremely old, the terrace of my room was falling apart (see pictures), and the entire outside is oxidated and looks like an old hotel in very poor condition.
The pictures in my review speak for itself. If you wish to have an awful experience as I did room 412 and experience the awful holiday, book the Sofitel!

Staff is excellent and super friendly. Property has considerable deferred maintenance. We did not have AC or hot water late night. Know that AC is turned off during shoulder seasons. Not ideal and really stuffy rooms.

I left a brand new coat (wrapped i a hanger) inside my bag inside my car and paid valet parking ($30 a day) only to have my coat taken from either my car or my room.
Called manager and she said she would get back to me with an answer and I am now waiting for her call.
It is unreal that this happens in a Sofitel Hotel. Very disapointed and very disturbed. I hope the manager comes up with my coat and finds the employee responsible

Reception and car valet staff were very friendly. The rest were not.
Spa area is a joke. Pool was dirty. Never managed to catch the shop open - so French!
Building is like an old lady and on its own is not the problem. Staff appeared poorly managed.
To finish on a positive the bed was amazing.
