“Perfect Location in Honfluer”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 22 January 2011
1
person found this review helpful

Honfleur is a beautiful, quaint little town. Le maisons de Lea is located right in the heart of it. You can comfortably walk anywhere in town from it. The hotel is lovely from the outside and the lobby area. Rooms are much smaller than they appear on the website however. The room we had in the main house, #25, had what felt like rough carpet backing on the floor, the bed was like sleeping on a rock and there was no place to sit that was comfortable. This was considered a 'Superior Room'. Help with your luggage is non-existant and there is no lift. Only 1 bar of soap to use for hands, face, and bathing. The breakfast however was really delicious and well worth the money. I do not remember how much it was because we booked the special that included breakfast, fresh flowers, and a bottle of Champagne, which was very nice. I would stay again simply because of the location, perhaps ask for a different room. Honfleur really is beautiful and especially walking along the harbor at night.

“Boutique hotel in the heart of Honfleur!”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 30 October 2010

Boutique hotel in the heart of Honfleur. The hotel consists of several houses and it seems to be right at home. The rooms are tastefully decorated, the breakfast is excellent. There is also a reading room and a tea room.
The only drawback: there are no parking spaces at their disposal.
In any case, the town of Honfleur is enchanting!

“Charming”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2010

We spent the August Bank Holiday week-end at this hotel. The location was excellent, close to restaurants and shops. Our room was charming, very pretty furnishings, and a comfortable bed. The selection at breakfast was very good, and the friendliness of staff was first class. We would definitely stay here again.

“Lovely Hotel in Prime Location”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 12 September 2010

This hotel is as lovely as the town of Honfleur itself. We arrived via Paris - took a train at Gare St. Lazare to Lisieux and from there a bus to Honfleur. Make sure you have Euros to get on the bus as they don't except credit cards. We had 2 big suitcases which was a little cumbersome to carry through all the transfers, but if you're young and able it's very doable.

The hotel is right across from St. Catherine's Cathedral on a cobblestone street in the center of town. The location couldn't have been any better. The staff at the reception all speak English and are helpful. A young gentleman checked us in and carried both of our 50 lbs bags up to the 3rd flr of the hotel through winding narrow stairs. The room is good-sized compared to Paris hotels. It has a double bed, a desk, a small sitting area, a closet and a TV on a dresser. The bathroom is huge even by American standards. It has a deep and wide bathtub/shower combo. There's even a little bench in the bathroom that resembles a church pew. The decor is fine, but I wish they would get rid of the dirty looking bedspread and shams and just leave the crisp white linens underneath only. My other complaint is the lack of air-conditioning. We went at the start of the Fall season so the weather has cooled down. We opened the windows during the day to let the cool air in but had to close them when we went to bed to avoid letting the mosquitoes in as there were no screens on the windows. It got a bit stuffy at night and it was hard for me to sleep.

On the second night, I woke up a bunch of flea bites on my legs (this hotel does allow pets). I'm a clean freak and always travel with my own bathrobe, towel, and slippers. The hotel does provide slippers so I didn't have to use my own. The bathrobes looked plush and inviting so I decided to use it instead of the one I brought. I found strands of hair on the first one and the same on the second one, so decided not to use them afterall. The towels also had hair on them so I ended up using my own towel the entire stay.

The hotel does provide free WIFI but the signal was very weak in our "attic" room, but they have a gorgeous library downstairs where you can sit and relax if you want to work or browse on your computer with better signals.

The breakfast looks good, but at 15 Euros it's too pricey so we didn't try it and went to a nearby boulangerie to get some baked goods. Save your money and have a nice dinner out at some of the fabulous restaurants in town. L'Ecailleur is a favourite of ours. Le Breard is supposed to be one of the best there but it was closed on Mon & Tue. The receptionist at the hotel can help you make reservations to the restaurants.

Overall, I would highly recommend this hotel but with a few minor changes it would be perfect.
