Spent a Mon-Fri break at this lovely little hotel last week. Whole place very clean. Every staff member we encountered was friendly and make a good effort to speak to us in English which we really appreciated as our French is pants. Great to be able to park outside. A mixed clientele of English and French couples - didn’t see any kids but we were there outside school holidays. Room was lovely and had everything we needed, although a mini fridge would have been a nice addition. The bathroom was particularly lovely and we made use of both the in-room heating and the air-con as we had some mixed weather. Black out curtains were so good we slept through breakfast one day! Bed was very comfortable. Hotel was always quiet - despite being next to the lift we never heard people passing and it was often quiet in the lobby/bar area. There was a filtered water machine on both floors which was appreciated. Perfectly located for the ferry port - was nice not to have to drive far once we disembarked on the Monday afternoon, and very nice to only be 5 minutes away when we needed to be at the port by 7am the Friday morning. Breakfast was lovely - unexpectedly included bacon and scrambled eggs - bacon went very well with the pancakes and maple syrup! Also a nice mix of fresh bread/pastries etc. The pool looked lovely but we didn’t use it - just too tired when returning from our days out! Did note though that swimming shorts were not allowed, so prepare accordingly men! Was nice to sit outside and have a drink on our last evening (this was really the only evening the weather was nice enough for this). It’s not part of the hotel but there is a restaurant Padam Padam which we ate at and were very pleased that we did, would recommend booking as it did get busy, and check opening - it seemed to be closed on the Thursday night and we saw several locals turn up for a meal only to see it was closed. We booked through booking,com and the hotel took a not insignificant deposit just before our stay, and then took full payment as we left, which to be honest we were a bit surprised about as the deposit would usually be taken off total. We had been able to put our drinks on ‘the room’ which is the only reason we went to the desk to pay - otherwise I would have assumed that if already paid. I’ll get the deposit back apparently. All in all, would recommend to anyone travelling to this part of France, and if we were to ever need a hotel in Ouistreham again, we would choose this one!

“Perfect stay close to the port”

Spent 4 nights at this hotel as a family of four from the uk we found the staff so helpful and polite, in particular the receptionist Delphine. The hotel itself was spotless, great breakfast and the pool was an added bonus. Highly recommended.

“First French Hotel.”

After being on a ferry for 5 hours then through customs, we arrived at this hotel before 11pm. Only 2 minutes from the port! We were greeted by a young man who spoke English, we managed to park the car even though the car park was full. Our room was on the ground floor. In our room there is Tea and Coffee making facilities, the pillows are soft, although there are 2 more in the wardrobe as well as a safe. In the wardrobe there is 8 hangers. The wardrobe is small. Breakfast self service - scrambled egg, bacon, boiled eggs, yoghurt, fruit,cereal, croissants, danish, coffee, tea, milk, orange juice. If your breakfast is not included you will be charged €10.00 each guest. This hotel has a swimming pool it is open from 10:30am - 8pm. Sadly we did not use the pool. Overall the room was clean, and the hotel was quiet.
