The location and ambience of this lovely hotel are cause enough to stay but what makes this place stand out is its fantastic staff team. So welcoming, helpful and polite. We stayed for three nights and ate at the hotel in the evening where we were treated to beautiful fresh and perfectly cooked fish. Breakfasts are equally delicious and plentiful.
Thanks to the hotel for its exceptional hospitality and high standards of catering and cleanliness. You provided a great start to our Normandy...

A terrific hotel within walking distance to the city's centre for great restaurants and shopping. The hotel is only a year old and has all of the upscale amenities that one might want or need. Very clean and modern rooms with very comfortable beds and roomy showers, which for those that have travelled in France or Europe in general, this is a definite plus! The hotel staff are knowledgeable, marvelous and friendly. We were there last week, July 12-14, 2016 and the weather couldn't have been...

The staff was super friendly and helpful. They spoke good English so it is easy if your french is Comme ci, Comme ca. The place is historic and fabulously beautiful. Affordable and central to all Normandy attractions. We truly felt like family. I would stay here again and again. Family oriented.

Located in the harbor, the hotel was clean with a large room (by French standards). We were disappointed that there was no air conditioning as it was quite hot when we were there. The location had a lot of good parking due to being in the harbor. However, it wasn't very close to anything, with really only 1 restaurant close by. There was a nice big park to relax in, but doing any sort of tourist activities meant taking the car. The hotel was very clean, and I would stay there again if I...
