Bit bewildered by prior reviews and can only assume that extensive renovation has been done in the last couple of years. Our room was clean, well-appointed and spacious. Staff were pleasant and helpful and the room rate good, albeit out of season. Based on our experience, I would be happy to recommend it to anyone as a very good town... more

I kinda liked this hotel. I got a good room with a fan, so I could stay cool. It does look a little old, but it's alright. more

We stayed as part of a group of 36 people so had feedback from several others about their rooms and facilities. Our room was old fashioned and in urgent need of renovation. Two single beds jammed together as a double but they still used two single bedspreads despite the fact these we fitted for singles! Huge stain on one wall.... more

It is misleading that the Hotel Paris Madrid is #1 on the list as there has only been 1 review and that guy gave it 5 stars! Also location is very important and Paris/Madrid is a good 15 minutes out of town. Le Grand Hotel is just that, an old, quaint French hotel, straight out of H E Bates "A... more

This is not a 3 star hotel. The rooms are very poor indeed, very dated and worn. The receptionist was a miserable man who begrudged having to talk to you and was unhelpful. Be warned that if you are staying in the summer months that many of the rooms look out onto courtyard areas which can be noisy and stuffy... more

Mediocre interior, and basic room, at the front of the week I was all for "well, you don't go on holiday for the room.." and all that. Luckily. Bathroom ok, shower, small towels and a separate toilet, all to be expected, but not a room to just come back to and chill for the sake of it. Mind you, I... more

According to the review of the Best Western Le Grand Hotel in Frommers France 2004 this is the best hotel in Bayonne. It is definitely not the best - unless we got the worst room in the best hotel! My boyfriend and I stayed in this hotel in September 2004. I originally booked a room in the hotel for 4... more
