Temporesidence Cathedrale

very good place, god géographical situation to visiting Bayonne; Good price for this type of Hotel and city.

Quiet and convenient

Superbly located within the old city’s medieval walls. Our room even had a view to the spires of the cathedral a hundred meters away. Easy walking access from paying underground parking and to everywhere in the old city. Well-appointed studio, though not fully handicap-accessible (4 steps to studio front door). Friendly welcome.

When I arrived, after the reception had closed, I was left waiting for someone to answer the phone on the pavement for quite a while, without any message saying i was in a queue, or that the caller knew i was waiting, which made it very stressful at that time of night. The accommodation, although advertised as sound proof, was actually very noisy. The fittings were a little dated, with bubbled up splash back in the kitchenette. Very central in a perfect location. Helpful staff at the reception.

The room was basic but comfortable, with a little kitchen, tv, small bed area with twin beds (not much space to move them apart), and good size bathroom. The common areas are somewhat dated but the apartment itself was clean & modern, if not luxurious. We arrived after a long day of travel from Vancouver, four hour layover in Paris, flight to Biarritz, and bus to Bayonne, so we knew that quiet and sleep would be top priority. We requested a quiet room on an upper floor, far from any elevator and exterior noise. We were given a room on first floor, immediately adjacent to the elevator, & overlooking the square where, at around 7:00 pm, a rock band with huge speakers and drums started playing in the square in front of our room. Needless to say it was far from quiet. Due to the reception service being only certain hours, we had no way to request a different room (if they even had one available). However, the band did shut down at a reasonable time and it was quiet through the night. The location of the hotel is excellent, right next to the cathedral and easy walking distance to everything. We walked to the train station next morning in only about 15 minutes. Though disappointed that the hotel ignored our room request, we would recommend the hotel in general for the cleanliness and great location.
