  : Very good location with sea view, nice furniture and overall atmosphere
  : a small fridge or a cattle to make some tea would be very useful as all the restaurants in town close very early

  : The receptionist was incredibly polite and nice. The room was fabulous with a view of the ocean and a quick walk across the Street to the beach. Close to Deauville but slightly to the west in a calm area. Having a car really made this an easy stay.
  : There wasnt anything we didnt like. We were aware from other reviews that this is a slightly older building, but charming. The hallways are a little bit dated but the staff was friendly and the room impeccable. It is a good value.

  : Right by the beach and a few minutes away from shops and restaurants. Our room on the 2nd floor was spacious, bright and very clean, with a sea view. Very quiet place, ideal for families too. Parking included. Kind and welcoming staff. There was an enjoyable town fair in the little market square when we visited, with street food (oysters, fromages and charcuterie, locally brewed beer but also Indian and other specialities) and souvenirs.
  : The bathroom was clean and had an inbuilt wardrobe, but is a little old-fashioned, with a tub and shower (plastic curtain).

  : The ensuite shower room was a good size with quality fittings and a high standard of toilettries. It was great!. This hotel has also been renovated since 2020. The receptionist on duty in the evening was exceptionally pleasant . The position of the hotel on the outskirts of Blonville sur Mer was a good walk to the centre to the Hotel de Post, the Tourist Information Office and several restaurants. A supermarket is positioned just off the same street.. Therefore a car is useful and there are now hire cars available in Deauville. Picking up a hire car in the morning, I would have liked to use their amply sized car park but the morning staff had changed when returning they just handed me my luggage. T here was no lunch time or evening food available at the hotel. BUT WHAT IS NEARBY Just Opposite and across a busy road is a gap between the buildings which leads to steps down to a wide sandy beach. If you walk along the pavement towards Villiers sur mer Plage there is often a large take away van selling icecream paninis hotdogs, sweet crepes plus hot and cold drinks but for the first time it moved before the 28th August 2023. Having a Mum linked to Orne 2nd World War )and a Grand Dad connected to people living near here(1st World War )this road was used frequently and recently( 2007- now ). I thought this large take away van was closed and shuttered in Autumn and probably winter, this year it was towed away about the third day in the area(August28th?.
  : The breakfast was high quality with respect to hygiene (Mostly Pre packed) but for the price, a selection of hot food is usually available. This breakfast was quality continental with selection of fruit but no eggs, tomatoes, sausage baked beans(etc)

  : Small room, very small bed

Good
Traveller Type: Traveling as Couple
  : Lovely staff member, very good mattress, fairly spacious. Close to beach. Parking free and secure.
  : We had the disabled room as it was the only one advertised. It was very adequate but a little quirky, enter off the street. It was a windy Wednesday night and everything in town was closed so it was a bit of a ghost town experience. Absolutely fine for a stopover though but not cheap, 90.
