By the Top3Hotels editorial team. Based on Booking.com guest scores and reviews, location data and reference prices. We did not stay at this hotel. Updated 2026-10-24.
Alfred Hotels Port-Vieux is worth booking if location and friendly service matter more to you than room space. It suits couples and solo travellers who will spend their days at the beach and in town, not people who need a large room.

The headline here is location. The score is 9.8 out of 10, and guests rate the hotel 9.2 overall from 1,377 reviews. If you want to walk to Port Vieux beach, the shops, the restaurants and Les Halles market, it fits well.
It also suits travellers who like good service, since guests praise the staff and concierge. Family rooms are listed, and the data tags it as pet-friendly, though the pet policy is not confirmed.
Skip it if you need space. Guests often describe the rooms as compact or cramped. Families with lots of luggage should check room sizes carefully.
Location and getting around
The address is Rue du Port Vieux, in Biarritz City Centre. The property lists itself as beachfront, and guests mention Port Vieux beach, restaurants, shops and Les Halles market close by.
The sights in our data are all in Bayonne and all far. The Castle of Marracq is about 6.7 km away, roughly 84 minutes on foot. Bayonne Cathedral is about 7.3 km, around 91 minutes. The Musée Bonnat-Helleu is about 7.7 km, around 96 minutes. For any of these, plan on public transport or a taxi. Walking times are straight-line estimates and have not been verified.

What guests say
Location is the most praised point: central, by Port Vieux beach and near the restaurants, shops and market.
Staff come next, with guests describing a friendly, professional team, a warm welcome and helpful concierge service.
Room size is the main complaint. Rooms are often called compact or cramped, though some guests find the layout functional. Noise, renovation state and cancellation terms have not been assessed.

Before you book
Check today's price for your dates. Look at the room size for the room type you choose, since that is the most common complaint.
Confirm whether breakfast is included and, if you travel with a pet, the policy and any fee. Ask about noise if you are a light sleeper, as we have not assessed it.
