10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful hotel with brilliant views. Staff were friendly and hotel gift shop was brilliant. Could only be improved by having steamers or irons in the room.

Our first holiday to France

Relaxing break in very comfortable, friendly surroundings. The staff were amazing.

10/10 Exceptional

Quick stay

Our stay here was part of a larger trip and a transition night. All of the staff were very friendly and helpful. The pool area is lovely and the view from our room delightful. The Regina has a wonderful open atrium area. The hotel itself is a grand old lady but she could use a bit of updating and modernizing. A good stop overall.

Dee, 4-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

We only stayed one night enroute home to the UK from The Algarve but we loved this hotel. Staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, the hotel is beautiful and well located for the beach and a short walk to the busy shopping area. We pre booked to park and were able to charge our car which was much appreciated. We ate in the Hôtel restaurant and the food and service were outstanding. We are already planning to return.
Michala, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent service from front desk (from San Sebastián) bellman (Facundo) & Clara. Property very unique design, but carpets need good steam clean. Otherwise wonderful location, nice walk to beach and town. Hotel as charming as the town -- be sure to reserve your parking spot!! They have limited space
Teresita, 3-night trip

6/10 Good

We were a bit disappointed in the staff at the hotel as a couple of requests were declined - early check-in and late check out (an hour). The hotel itself is fairly nice and the sea views were beautiful. The location of the hotel is outside the busy city core which can be difficult when looking for meals outside of the hotel.

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful art deco building with sympathetic, classy renovation. Incredible sea views, a little out of the main town with killer hill on return which didn't detract from our enjoyment.
Geraldine, 6-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Service at Regina Experimental was excellent - the staff are extremely friendly and genuinely happy to help with any thing!
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

The staff who met us by our car, after easily entering the lot to park, was professional and informative and even joyful. The front desk arranged our dining. The restaurant and bar were lovely. We won’t bother considering other accommodations in Biarritz in the future!
Stephanie, 1-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

Beautiful ocean views. Walk into town a bit far and steep.
charles, 1-night trip

2/10 Poor

I cannot urge you enough to stay elsewhere. Go to the Sofitel down the street, or better yet, go to the Palace. This hotel is not up to standard. The staff is extremely young and does not know how to work or run an upscale hotel. It's a "shell" of a hotel. Pretty on the outside, but the service is repugnant.
Alfonso, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

We enjoyed our 4 night stay at the Regina, and especially loved our time in Biarritz. I wouldn’t consider this a 5 star hotel (especially after staying at the hotel du Palais down the street) but it was a nice boutique hotel with generally friendly staff. As far as areas for improvement- the pool was quite small and our room was very basic for a “premier” room. The hotel also did not acknowledge our recent engagement we were celebrating, which all the other hotels on our trip did with enthusiasm.
Sarah, 4-night trip

6/10 Good

The interior design of this place is horrible. Don’t expect to feel luxurious, it’s very tacky despite the beautiful architecture. But the people are very nice.
Jadwiga, 2-night trip

8/10 Very good

Nice hotel although I don’t know if it warrants the price. It’s a bit out of the way from the town but just a short 25 minutes. There was no top sheet on the bed, just a comforter which I found a bit gross. No bed turn down at night. Staff was really nice and helpful.
Carol, 1-night trip

6/10 Good

Our room did not have air conditioning, the unit was broken and they did not have another room to accommodate us.
