Just spent 2 nights at Hotel Marinette and came away feeling very pleased with the stay. Stayed in room 11 which although not ultra modern was exceptionally clean, plenty of towels and comfortable bed. The hotel is a great base for visiting Arcachon. Located in a quiet residential area but only about 600m from restaurants and shops etc. Plenty of free, safe roadside parking. Free wifi. Breakfast was €7.50 and was quite meagre,  a croissant each, some packets of jam & butter, half a baguette a small glass of orange juice and a pot of coffee. We paid €132 for 2 nights (excl breakfast). Worth visiting are pyla dunes, boat trip around the basin.  

Great location, perfectly functional hotel.

Here's what I think about 2 star hotels: you get what you pay for. They offer good value if the compromises are not over something you really care about. So, here's the scoop from my point of view: Marinette's decor and color scheme are atrocious. I can live with that. Location is fabulous, although uphill from Centre Ville, in the upscale Ville d'Hiver neighborhood surrounded by lovely Belle Epoch homes. Hotel is very clean. There are no public spaces except an open patio on which breakfast is served. Breakfast is nothing special, but adequate. So far so good. My only serious complaint is that I asked for a cup of hot water to make tea when we arrived after several hours on the road. The owner/manager (not sure which) told me that was not possible mid afternoon, and I should go down to the Centre Ville. I was tired and didn't fancy the 10 minutes uphill to return to the hotel after. I found this particularly ungracious since it was such a small thing and easy to provide. I even had my own tea bag in hand!  Deal breaker for me?  Well, maybe!

Get what you pay for?

It's only a 2 star and quite basic but it was comfortable enough, characterful, and very clean. The breakfast on the terrace was lovely and good value (most hotels grossly overprice their breakfast). The reception was very friendly and helpful. It's in a nice quiet housing area,10 minutes walk to the town centre and beach - not bad at all.

Very convenient and clean- good for a night or two.

This hotel is located in a residential section of Arcachon and is within walking distance of the center of town.  Parking is on the street and is free.  The hotel is not modern but more of a period hotel.  Not to worry as it does provide all the comforts.  It was clean, comfortable and we had plenty of space for our bags.  As it is located in a residential section of town it was very quiet and the walk to town gave you the opportunity to view all the pretty homes in the area.  Also the person that checked us in was lovely and helpful.  Since we stayed on Sept 30th it was not warm enough to take advantage of the outdoor areas, which are lovely.

Perfect Location

Although our room (11) was clean, I had to mend the shower with my tool kit from the car. The young lady owner was very chatty and insistant on adding extra charges for milk at breakfast for my cafe au lait. Strict portion control was exercised with a jug of coffee for two people (1.5 cups each), 1 croissant each, I piece of French stick each, a wrapped butter pat each ( extra butter pat would have been charged I was told), a short selection of jams in rip-pull tubs. All the rooms breakfasts were brought by the husband to the table at the same time regardless of whether all the occupants had come down at separate times The room cost was 85.00 euros/night for 2 and an extra 40 euros for a third person on the clic-clac (put-U-up). Breakfast was not included in that price. It was 6.50 extra... then tourist tax at 0.70euros per adult per night. In general our party, of 13 guests in 4 rooms, tolerated the place. A ceiling fan or aircon would have been appreciated in the other rooms. Our room had a window and french windows giving onto a sweet little balcony, so we managed to enjoy a cool breeze and sleep quite well. The hotel was fully booked so I don't think they worry about visitors opinions too much since they know that Arcachon will draw new faces week after week, year on year. The 'quartier' was pleasant, quiet and had good access to the main part of town either on foot or in the little electric bus  that stops outside the door. Parking in the street was not a problem, but, as in any tourist town, the security aspect always nags at the back of ones mind. ie: no locked off-street parking available.  Most of all we were pugt off by the penny pinching approach .... definitely no 'mi casa....su casa'
