We stayed one night before our trip and one night after. The first one the room was was clean but tatty with a window that we could not close and peeling wallpaper in places. The second which was last night was bad , really tiny with tatty wallpaper and a very very uncomfortable bed and i took great objection to having a water proof mattress protecter on the bed , i found it insulting and unable to sleep on it so myself and my husband sat up most of the night, plus the bed was supposed to be a double but was really small with a dip in the middle. As we have a small dog i dont expect a five star room but at least a three this was a zero. We definately will not be returning

Awful hotel, not very clean and shocking attitude to guests. Convenient for an early ferry from Caen but obvious from the state of the hotel and attitude of staff that they were not interested or expecting guests to ever come back.

Grave mistake.

I have never in all my years of traveling stopped at worse Hotel than this one. The room is extremely dirty. The room and toilet smell, is like a sewer. The shower head was broken they attempted to repair it (did not) said they would come back (did not). The reception is occasionally manned so often when you need somebody there is no one there. Most thing are broken, no handles on wardrobe doors, no heating. The place is a disaster and unfit for human occupancy. Do not go anywhere near the place.

OK for a one night stay when you get off the ferry, as it's very close. However, the bar closes at 10pm, which isn't good timing, as that's when the ferry arrives! Rooms are small, clean and basic. Good breakfast buffet with local products.
