Does anybody have any tips on budget accommodation in and around Biarritz? Usually stay in hostels when travelling, but can stretch to cheaper hotels if necessary. Would ideally like to stay close to the beach. Thanks

During our Eurotrip we stayed in Biarritz at hotel Palym at the pedestrian street near the beach for 50EUR+breakfast 5EUR per person.

Regarding the Biarritz area- I'd suggest a small town inland a bit & away from he ocean & its prices-
one suggestion Ascain- a lovely small Basque town, very nice.
I'm ging to check my MicroSoft auto-route progream & will add morre tonite or tomorrow.

Close to Biarritz is St. Pée (a little inland, like 15 mins) it has some hotels there, we found a hotelroom there for €40 in August!
