“Probably better hotels for the money”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 5 November 2010
1
person found this review helpful

Honfleur was our first stop after a trans-atlantic flight, so we wanted a higher end hotel to ensure we had a good night sleep and a good shower. The hotel was very quaint, and the staff was friendly. The room was clean and very large, but it was on the first floor and overlooked a walkway. As a result it was very loud. Now, I realize these are old buildings, and some noise is expected. However, this was quite bad. We could hear other guests walking up and down the steps, every step they took in their room, as well as all the dishes clanking in the dining area. It might have been a nicer experience if we were on an upper level.

“A Hidden Gem”

We stayed for two nights. Excellent room with two windows overlooking the harbor. The room was very modern in style with many amenities and spotlessly clean. Very helpful service. The associated restaurant was very good. The location is perfect.

“Very Charming”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 10 October 2010

We enjoyed our stay, altho we didn't spend much time in the room. Walking distance to the harbor and the center of the town. It was a bit noisy as our room was in the Annex which is above the restaurant, but we closed the window and turned on the air conditioning which solved the problem. A bit of a walk to the parking garage. No one was at the front desk until 7am which made it a bit tricky to check out early, but it worked out.

“Good Location Average Experience”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 6 October 2010
1
person found this review helpful

While the hotel had a prime location the room we stayed in was in our view average.Our window overlooked a side street with service traffic late at night. Upon our arrival at about 5pm a sign on a locked hotel door (in french only) directed us to seek assistance in the adjacent restaurant. We walked through the empty dining room and found our host.He seemed pre occupied with restaurant preparations and we appeared to take him away from his prime duty at the moment.
He quickly ushered us to our room and then departed quickly --.not a welcoming introduction.The room itself was fine and we enjoyed Honfleur but this hotel didnt add to our experience.We expected more.

“Delightful”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed 23 September 2010

We stayed one night that the l"Absinthe Hotel and found it delightful. It's a seven room hotel with an new annex of 5 rooms. We stayed in room 2 & 3. Both had views of the street, we thought that their would be nosiy , but it was not. The hotel staff didn' t speak much English which was a little difficult, but it was manageable. We played cards in the lobby in front of the a beautiful fireplace. Felt like we are in someone's living room.
