A truly breathtaking property in a great location. The history of the property is just as enticing as its current iteration. The hotel is very clean and well maintained. Would stay again.
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 stay at Regina Experimental Biarritz was, unfortunately, extremely underwhelming. We chose the hotel primarily because we wanted to enjoy the pool, so finding out that the pool was closed during our one-night stay was a major disappointment and significantly impacted our plans. While the hotel offered access to the pool at a neighboring property, the alternative was nowhere near the standard we expected from a five-star hotel.
The one real positive was the service. The staff were friendly, attentive, and professional throughout our stay, which was appreciated.
Unfortunately, the hotel itself did not live up to our expectations. The décor felt unattractive and dated, and the overall layout of the property was strange and poorly thought out. Nothing about the experience gave us the feeling of staying at a five-star hotel.
There were also some details that were particularly disappointing. The mouthwash provided in our room appeared to have already been opened, with the seal broken, which is simply unacceptable from a 5 star hotel.
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.
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.
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.
The property is gorgeous. Whoever designed this hotel is a genius! Just beautiful. The staff is very friendly and efficient. The food and drink were delicious. We highly recommend staying here.
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!

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.
Lovely older building that has been updated and is very funky. Beautiful location however a little distance from city centre. Well appointed but not extravagant for the cost. Only issue we had was room had flies all over walls and was not checked prior to check in - issue was addressed once brought to staffs attention. Staff were very helpful and accommodating.
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
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.
The staff are out of this world at the Regina. Truly above and beyond. We ended up dropped off on a bus stop outside of town with no directions at taxi and site. They sent a car for us without question and we’re completely helpful warm and knowledgeable for our entire stay. I had the Regina 22 years ago and never forgotten it. My family and I have fond memories of it from 2002 and could not wait to get back there. It’s now been renovated in a very cool style with flickers of the grand Budapest. hotel and still very unique, and one of a kind. you did not disappoint. I won’t wait so long to come back the next time. And a grand merci à toutes et tous.! c’était vraiment magnifique
I booked a room overlooking the ocean and the room was nice. It would have been a nice experience if the customer service was not so terrible. It was to the point where I felt very uncomfortable. I am a widow and booked a trip with my two young daughters. I booked an upgraded room that stated it fit 3 people. When I checked in the people at the front desk wanted me to pay extra money for one of my daughters even though I showed them that the room stated it would accommodate 3 people (which I booked and paid extra for to accommodate our family of 3). They were very dismissive and rude.
The next morning I asked if I could check out an half hour late and they would not give me any extra time despite it being a Tues and the hotel being obviously empty.
Also the food was extremely overpriced for what it was. Not great or every that good.
I had stayed across the street at a 4 star hotel for a couple nights prior and the stay and customer service there was incredible. Unfortunately the “customer service” at this hotel was so bad that I felt very uncomfortable staying there and regret the booking.
