Gaillouneys-Sud, La Teste-de-Buch hotel rooms at the Independent

"Beautiful and well-maintained with excellent staff in all roles. Location is perfect, just a few mins walk to the beach."

"Sink backed up. Shower backed up. Clean the pipes once in a while… One dishwasher detergent pod for a stay of four days. "

"the view its a fab pool area super breakfast"

"We stayed in the new build part of the hotel so all newly fitted. Bunk beds in room were great for the kids. Little details need ironing out such as coffee machine in room but no sockets nearby to actually plug it in! Breakfast was a mixed experience, the food was good but a tiny counter which everyone queued around and as people were standing waiting for toast/eggs etc you couldn't easily reach any of the food. Tried to get scrambled eggs on 3 occasions but each time the dish was empty. They need a duplicate breakfast stand somewhere else in the room or a seperate hot and cold food areas to prevent build up of queues. Hotel a 20 minute drive out of Archachon. Pool was tiny and shared with the apartments and hotel so absolutely packed! 4 sun loungers and pool in the shade of the apartment buildings so a bit pointless. Over all comfortable place to stay for a night but wouldn't want to spend longer there."

"Nice big room, nice bathroom, good bed, great location"

"We had a wonderful time - would definitely return! "

"Belle et grande chambre avec cuisinette et balcon … manque simplement une petite table avec 2 chaises au balcon pour être parfait."
