Fodor's Expert Review Central Hôtel

1 pl. Charles-de-Gaulle, St-Jean-Pied-de-Port, Nouvelle-Aquitaine, 64220, France

This family-run hotel and restaurant over the Nive is a vintage venue (note the 200-year-old oak staircase)—it's also the best value in town. The owners speak Basque, Spanish, French, English, and some German, so communicating is rarely a problem. The cuisine is nourishing, especially the lamb and duck breast.

PROS

  • central location, as suggested by the name
  • personal family service
  • river sounds and views

CONS

  • creaky bedsprings
  • can be hot in midsummer
  • village life starts early and you're at the heart of it
