Hôtel Jules Verne Biarritz
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.
Hôtel Jules Verne Biarritz is worth booking if you want a 4-star with a pool and gym in a quiet street near the town centre and beaches, at the lowest price among our picks. Check our Best Value pick first, though: it was only about €7 a night more in our reference dates and scores much higher.

This is our Budget pick for Biarritz. It is a 4-star with a guest score of 8.4 out of 10, which is good, but it was the lowest score among the 5 properties we compared.
It suits couples and families who want a quieter residential base with a pool and a gym. Family rooms are listed by the property. The data also tags it as pet-friendly, so ask about rules and fees if you bring an animal.
Skip it if you need space. Guests often describe the rooms as small and cramped, even if they are comfortable and well equipped.
Location and getting around
The address is 2, rue Guy Petit, in the Biarritz City Centre area, and guests rate the location 8.7. They describe a quiet residential setting, a short walk from the town centre and the beaches.
The sights in our data are in neighbouring Bayonne and are far. The Castle of Marracq is 5.8 km away, about 73 minutes on foot. Bayonne Cathedral is 6.4 km, around 80 minutes, and the Musée Bonnat-Helleu is 6.9 km, roughly 86 minutes. For any of them, use public transport or a taxi.
Walking times are straight-line estimates, so real routes will usually take longer.
What guests say
The 8.4 average rests on 2,097 reviews, a large base. Guests like the quiet location close to the centre and the beaches.
Staff are the other positive theme. Guests describe a friendly, professional team with a warm welcome and helpful service.
The main complaint is room size. Rooms are called comfortable and well equipped, but often small and cramped.
Price and what you get, compared with our other two picks
Prices are reference prices seen for a 2-night stay in November 2026 for 2 adults, not live quotes. Check today's price for your dates.
Hôtel Jules Verne Biarritz was €115.48 a night, 6% below the sample median of €122.90. Listed facilities include a pool, a gym, family rooms, free Wi-Fi, air conditioning, a garden and a terrace. Breakfast is continental and buffet.
Here the Budget label needs context. Our Best Value pick, Alfred Hotels Port-Vieux, is a 3-star scoring 9.2 at €122.90 a night, just €7.42 more. If a high guest score matters more to you than this hotel's pool and fourth star, that gap is small. Our Luxury pick, Hôtel du Palais Biarritz, in The Unbound Collection by Hyatt, is a 5-star scoring 9.5 at €430.36.
Why it made our top 3
We compared 5 eligible properties in Biarritz. Once the upscale choice was set aside, Hôtel Jules Verne Biarritz had the lowest eligible reference price, which is how we choose our Budget pick.
Biarritz is not a cheap city in our sample, so the Budget pick here is still a 4-star at over €100 a night.
