Hotel was fine but the steep one car wide street with 2 way traffic was a fright! Hotel was very difficult to find as the sign said “private”. There were 95 steps to the town level and a short section was in poor repair.

Great location. The reception was mostly closed, although we had a severe issue with the cleaning of the bathroom.

For $70 a night it was a bargain with a sweeping ocean view. Driving up to the property was a challenge, very narrow and hilly and quite difficult to find but once there the view was world class.

For the price you pay, this hotel is absolutely beautiful. Spotlessly clean and well decorated and kept. Sea view rooms with breathtaking views. Quiet, charming neighborhood, proximity to the beach... If you are a couple or have kids that are 10+ years old, no problem. However, if you are a family with a small child, a person who have troubles with going up a lot of very steep stairs and have no car to remedy that situation, avoid it. There are, according to my phone, 7 floors worth of stairs to get to the hotel from the bottom of the hill. Else, you have to climb up a winding road, which is also somewhat steep. But if that poses no issue for you, don’t hesitate. Another thing to note is that the reception is not open 24/7, as it is a family run establishment. We arrived during their break (12-4 pm) but they kindly checked us in after we gave them a call. But do keep that in mind if you are coming between those hours.

There were lots of things we loved about this hotel - the views, its character and the staff. The room was quite small but most of all the photograph on Expedia makes it look as if the hotel is on / next to the beach. In fact the hotel is one of the properties up the hill. A steep and uneven set of steps takes you to sea level. However this and it being a little pricey for what you get, would not stop us going back.

Charming hotel overlooking the bay of St Jean du Luz. Very good value. My room had a balcony with a great view and breakfast and the price for the room were both very good value.

Located across the river, a short walk to town, with parking on site, and a fabulous view this is the perfect spot to visit the Basque Coast. The staff was helpful and the breakfast was delicious and delightful on the terrace overlooking the harbor. The room was modern and nicely decorated. Great stop for a night or two.

Very friendly and helpful welcome. Breakfasts were delicious, and with a fantastic view! Being up on the hill gives great views from both the room and the breakfast area. Only issue for us was the lack of blinds or blackout curtains - difficult to get a young baby to nap in a bright room!

Great for overnight stay on route to Santander. Car park a little on the small side.

This hotel was one of the best we stayed during our two week round trip in France. Our room had a lovely harbour view and a really good bed (not too soft). The hotelier was really friendly and prepared a nice breakfast. Free parking and close location to Saint-Jean-de-Luz center is a big plus. I would stay here again.

Top upgrade as winter time, excellent views from all parts, especially breakfast terrace. Exceptional unlimlted continental breakfast, including 20 types of jam and (loose) teas. Very friendly owners, an absolute privilege to receive such good service, and indeed the whole experience. Just an enroute stopover to Spain this time, we'll return asap for a longer stay, the whole area looks very enticing

We had a lovely stay at Agur Denari. The hotel is very nice & comfortable, and the owners/staff were very kind to us - in particular helping us figure out how to get our rental car into reverse. The room was small but clean and comfortable and we really enjoyed the balcony with sea view. We had room #15 and were very pleased to stay here. It was a very easy 15 minute walk into St Jean de Luz...the hill was not as bad as some previous reviewers made out. If you are in any shape at all, it is not an issue.
