“Great stay before ferry”

We stayed 3 nights after being in south brittany for a week. Some reviews were quite negative but we went with a posiyive attitude and had a great time. The parking was tight but made worse by other brits bad parking , we eorked out it was best to reverse in. We had cojoining rooms with shared door and it worked well for us with teens. Breakfast was good if slightly limited on cooked options but the breads, spreads , cheese and pastries made up for it. The staff actually spoke good English and i found Benjamin and Alexander super helpful with tips for travel, dinner etc. We had dinner in the hotel on the last night and it was excellent; fine dining with lovely wine , amazing cheese and amuse bouche. The lamb was tip top! We booked the spa on 2 days and again set expectations low by previous reviews and were pleasantly surprised - small but perfectly formed. We'd definitely stay again.

“Good location - weird room and extra for the pool”

Arrived at 17 but last parking spot was taken in front of us, and the staff was not super helpful. They just told us to park on the street, where there was roadwork. So had to find parking house and then walk back with our luggage. When we checked in I asked when the pool was open but was informed … more

Arrived at 17 but last parking spot was taken in front of us, and the staff was not super helpful. They just told us to park on the street, where there was roadwork. So had to find parking house and then walk back with our luggage. When we checked in I asked when the pool was open but was informed that it was 20€ extra per person, which seemed like a scam. I knew that spa would be extra, but normally when a hotel state it has a pool it is included. Location was really good, but the room was a bit odd. It had a tiny walk-in toilet where I could hardly sit and then the shower was in the room begin a glass wall. I would not book again.

“Overstated as a Spa Hotel”

Oh dear…I normally try to focus on positives when writing a review but…In sum, Le Dauphin has over-stated its quality as a spa hotel. Yes, it has an over-priced Michelin-rated restaurant but…Let’s begin with a warning: the hotel is in three different buildings. Yes, we knew that before our arrival,… more

Oh dear…I normally try to focus on positives when writing a review but…In sum, Le Dauphin has over-stated its quality as a spa hotel. Yes, it has an over-priced Michelin-rated restaurant but…Let’s begin with a warning: the hotel is in three different buildings. Yes, we knew that before our arrival, but since we wanted the spa experience we made the unexamined assumption that they were interconnected or had a covered walkway. Mais non. Thus when we arranged to have massages, we had to don our dressing gowns in the room and then walk across the car park to enter the massage room. At least to wasn’t raining or freezing! Also, for a spa hotel we were disappointed that we had to ring an external masseuse and arrange for her to come to the hotel. The spa area is not included in the price of the room and can be yours at €20 per person for 90 minutes. Unfortunately for us the heated pool wasn’t, nor was the bassin.🥶 The rooms were clean, attractive but Spartan. Few if any complementary items—not even tissues. There was a “mini-bar” with two bottles of water in it. The safe was on the floor of the wardrobe and could only be accessed on one’s hands and knees. Unfun with my hip replacements.😳 There was one water glass in the room for two people. My wife is vegetarian, but the only option in the restaurant was—you guessed it—an omelet. Come on! Vegetarian cuisine has moved far beyond that in recent decades. Happily there are many very good restaurants located nearby. On the more positive side: great location, some on-site parking at €15 per night, clean and tidy, friendly staff, breakfast was good, but not included in the room price. We would not stay there again.
