This hotel is older and lacks special amenities, but is quiet, clean, perfectly located for walking, and provides easy access to the beach and tourist spots. The staff is kind and offered a reasonable breakfast.

Ok but not great

It's okay if you just need a room for a couple of nights, breakfast was basic but the coffee is good. Just glad that there are some good places to eat and drink near by as the hotel doesn't have a bar or a restaurant.

We loved staying there. A nice spacious room with a view of the harbor. The decor is a bit outdated, however, it was very fitting for the area. The room had kettle and tea plus breakfast was inexpensive and lovely with traditional French style.

Comfortable bed, big shower, great location!

Lovely staff, a little date decor which we LOVE because lots of the new hotels are so bland and stark, most importantly the beds are super comfortable and I'm a big guy (23 stone, 6'5" tall) so I am used to cheaper hotels having terrible mattresses. Not this place! Nice big showers too! Not the style of breakfast we're used to so we passed on that. Very good value for money! We look forward to staying there again!
