Best hotel in Honfleur. Staff was incredibly attentive, ready to help with dinner bookings etc. They have a private parking area nearby which is convenient since parking is tight in town. Raphael and owner Victor were absolutely lovely from beginning to end. Room was spacious with rustic features and modern amenities at the same time.

Great stay. Victor was a fantastic help with checking in, meeting us at our car to grab our bags and directing us to their private parking. He also secured a dinner reservation at a great restaurant next door. One of the best dinners we had on our French vacation.

Cosy and central

Absolutely amazing stay. The location could not be better right in the centre of the old town area. The surrounding area had endless shops, cafes and restaurants in amazingly picturesque buildings. Victor could not do enough to ensure our stay was special. We had breakfast at the hotel and it was beautiful fresh local produce and bakery items. Victor also suggested some places for dinner and we were amazed at the quality of the food and the very reasonable prices at all of them. We would love to come again.

Hotel was easy to find and is in a very central location. Private parking was just a short walk away. Upon check in with Victor who is really friendly, we were shown to our ground floor room which was charming and spacious. The bathroom was huge and really well equipped with bath and walk-in shower, plenty of towels and a modern decor. Victor suggested we dine at the restaurant L’Escale situated right next door which turned out to be an excellent choice and great atmosphere. Food was superb and our server was very attentive. I would definitely stay at l’Absinthe again when I visit the vibrant town of Honfleur as I could find no fault with the hotel, location and service.
