Located within a very minutes of the historical centre of Honfleur this hotel
is ideally placed in a very convenient part of the town. Many good restaurants are very
close by, and easily accessible on foot. The hotel car park is immediately
behind the building, behind secure intercom controlled gates, for 7 euros a day.
There is public parking almost opposite at 12 euros per day so you can leave
your car behind completely and go everywhere on foot. The hotel is easily reached in ten
minutes from the nearby motorway.
Our room was facing the car park at the rear of the hotel and was very quiet
but with no view. Rooms in front have a view but I could not say if the
(usually very light) traffic was disturbing.
Reception is bright and cheerful, with helpful staff who speak clear French or English
if you wish. There is a bar nearby which we did not use and there is a simple breakfast-only restaurant, but there is no food available in the evening. After a long journey we found this a little irritating initially, but soon found one of the many excellent restaurants literally five minutes walk from the hotel front door so it didn't matter.
For a simple menu and wine list La Fontaine was very pleasant and equally close nearby L'Absinthe was in a different league, with wonderful service and first rate cuisine.
Breakfast was served in the hotel, typically good French continental cold fare of bakery, and dairy produce, cereals and fruit, with some warm scrambled eggs and bacon if desired.
The carpeted rooms are clean and comfortable with good decor although the bed was very hard and the walls rather thin, so noise from other rooms was occasionally apparent. There were minor problems only, our request for an extra pillow was ignored. Clothing storage is inadequate for two people and the bath towels too small. It might be better not to bother with the fridge and have more clothes space. A few toiletries are provided and replaced each day. The room has an electric heater and free wifi, the window opens but I cannot speak for any air con. The bathroom was clean and satisfactory with plenty of hot water.
The hotel was good value for money and we would return again.
Room Tip: Rooms at the back are very quiet.
