Lovely breakfast and very helpful staff. Parking is a 10 minute walk away in a covered garage. Very lively spot directly on the street, not meant for those wishing to sleep in. All in all, an enjoyable stay and we would return.

What a gem in Honfleur! Great location, close to shops, restaurants and points of interest. We were in the "newer" section of the hotel and had a wonderful, large room with a great view of the docks. Breakfast was lovely and the staff was courteous and helpful. The hotel provides very secure parking but take note that it is a 5-6 minute walk to the hotel from the lot.
