Radisson Blu Hotel, Biarritz

Stayed at Radisson Blue Biarritz for six nights in a superior room for a family vacation. The room was very spacious and kept very clean. The view from the room was very nice, partial sea view. The room is in need of renovation, especially the wall-to-wall carpet. But I did not find the room to be too bad, e.g. the mattress, pillows and bed linens were good and there was adequate storage space for clothes and shoes. The bathroom looked unfashionable but it was very spacious and clean, nothing broken. The general appearance of the public areas of the hotel is nice, except the halls leading to rooms are very outdated, change of carpets and painting of walls is really needed. The restaurants of the hotel were very good, loved the rooftop bar and restaurant. We dined in Transat two times and really liked the food. The service in the hotel was excellent everywhere, in reception, restaurants, bars, everyone was professional and friendly. The pool area was nice, but the water was too warm for my taste, like a bath tub, and there was no shade. We loved Biarritz very much, the scenery and architecture were lovely. We walked around a lot and had good food in many places. We also visited San Sebastian by bus and St.-Jean-de-Luz by train, very nice day trips.
