Grand Hôtel de la Poste

The Grand Hotel de la Poste has a good location at the non-pedestrian end of the central Rue Gambetta and not far from the beach. Its history goes back to the 18th century, when it was a 'Relais de la Poste', where in 1777 - as it says on a plaque by the entrance - also the Marquis de La Fayette did stay on his way to the Americas. We had booked a 'Chambre Supérieure' and we got room 14 on the first floor, which shares a big terrace with a room next door, but there is a separation with flower pots and each room has its own table and chairs there. The room itself was big enough and had some traditional furniture. There was plenty enough space for storing our belongings. The bathroom was good too and also had a bathtub, which we didn't use though, preferring to shower. Opposite the reception with very friendly and helpful staff is a beautiful living room with books and magazines, tea and coffee making facilities (none in the room), with a fireplace and a billard table. It looks as if made for English guests, who in the early 20th century loved the French 'Côte Basque' to spend the winter. My wife and me thoroughly enjoyed our 5 nights stay here.

We have stayed at lot of four to five star hotels. This is a very special place. They care about the details and they are so accommodating and truly welcoming. The rooms are beautifully renovated and spacious. The bed was like sleeping on a cloud and the pillows are so comfortable (and there are three different types). I went to sleep listening to the sound of the waves hitting the beach… extraordinary…. Oh, and in the lobby they had a cookie jar filled of the most delicious homemade chocolate chip mini cookies!

This hotel seemed very well run. The room was big, light and very clean. The bathroom was large and well designed. The location is great, between the station and the old town. Did not take the brrakfast. Highly recommended

Very impressed, right in the middle of town, very friendly staff. Clean room and lovely breakfast. The central staircase is very impressive. There is a car park behind the hotel that you pay for but a free one is just up the road next to the police station.

Grand Hôtel de la Poste - Saint-Jean-de-Luz Séjour du 22-27/09/24 dans la grande chambre 10 avec grande salle de bains. Très bel hôtel du 18e siècle au cœur du centre-ville à distance de marche de presque tout. Accueil chaleureux et attentif. Personnel toujours prêt à nous "donner un coup de main". Nous remercions Fabienne, Maxime et Béatrice. C'est grâce à Frédéric que nous avons pu obtenir une réservation Chez Mattin à Ciboure pour manger un sublime Ttoro, soupe basque de fruits de mer et poissons. To make a reservation is basically beyond the bounds of possibility. Très fortement recommandé. Le pays basque est joli et généreux. On s'y sent bien. Laure H

C'est notre 3éme visite dans cet établissement très agréable, excellant petit déjeuner, calme à souhait, chambre PMR très fonctionnelle, petite remarque au personnel d'entretien, pourquoi laisser uniquement deux mouchoirs dans la boite à mouchoir à notre arrivée.
