Contis-les-Bains Vacations from $1,521

Friendly and helpful staff. Hotel is clean and near good restaurants.

This hotel is genuinely quite exquisite. One of the most beautiful I have visited in over thirty years of world travel. The actual setting, experienced amidst the Autumn hues, is genuinely stunning. The walk around the lake was a moment of peaceful heaven each morning and evening, the grounds are immaculate, and there are incredible views from all areas of the restaurant and bar, and the rooms are very pretty, with spacious bathrooms, some with small gardens and others even floating out in the lake with access by boat. Wonderful, attentive staff, a personal favourite was the Concierge, I believe his name was Sylvain? His assistance in helping me navigate the local area via public transport was much appreciated. Small details like names of stops and information regarding places to visit were invaluable, and his bright, friendly company was also such a pleasant addition to the day. A very accomplished restaurant serving excellent meals all throughout the day and the breakfast was quite superb. As you can tell, I very much enjoyed my stay here and would love to return in the Springtime. Easy access to local beaches, Bayonne, Biarritz and St Jean de Luz also.

Great location

This hotel was excellent! It is in a great location, very close to the station, so no need for a taxi and within easy walking distance of the old town. Reception staff were extremely helpful enabling me to make the most of the short time I had in Bayonne I was lucky to receive a room with a beautiful view of the old city. The facilities were wonderful including local cuisine. I was able to enjoy a cup of tea after checking out before departing the hotel. I really enjoyed my stay.
