We loved loved loved this hotel. The staff are warm and welcoming. I was glad I had some high school French to rely on as at least one person did not speak English but we communicated perfectly and everyone is very patient! The breakfast is GREAT - well worth the price. Big selection, freshly-made lattes, cocoas. They work hard to... More

This hotel is well situated in the old part of Honfleur, literally only a couple of minutes flat stroll to the old harbour. As other reviews have mentioned, the hotel reception is across the cobblestoned Rue de la Ville from the L'Absinthe restaurant of the same name. The Rue de la Ville has bollards to prevent cars entering from the... More

We were initially worried by the word "annexe" next to our booking but this was a really excellent hotel. It's very central, overlooking the harbour and convenient for a couple of days in Honfleur. The annexe referred to is just next door to the hotel restaurant in another charming old building. The rooms were spacious, bright, beautifully furnished and ours... More

A great little hotel in a charming location. Lovely views, luxurious new decor and fittings and very helpful reception. Wished we could have stayed more than one night!

Finding this hotel can be a problem as the sat nav normally looses you in Honfleur. Entrance to the hotel is also confusing we ended up (like a lot of people) in the restaurant. Booked this room through Booking.com and was supposed to have Room 1 (which I assume was the cheapest) however, was shown to Room 6 ( this... More

The smallest room in the house was also the cheapest in the 1 Rue De Ville part of the hotel. The room was perfectrly large enough for me but having a shower would have been nice. There was a jet bath thingy which I did not make full use of as I was on business and the days were just... More

Really enjoyed this hotel. I had a water view room in the annex and really liked it. Nice sized modern room and very comfortable. Great bathroom with jet tub and separate rain shower. AC and flat screen. Nice view and despite facing the street the windows kept out all noise. The main building was right around the corner, and it... More

We stayed in the "new" addition of this hotel and were very pleased with everything about it...all new construction, clean, flat screen TV, spa/whirlpool bath--not at all what I expected when booking, but a pleasant surprise. We had a harbor view, which wasn't as great as I anticipated, but should have booked a hotel with a "basin" view, I guess....It... More

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful town in February 2012. The location of the hotel is great and it is within a very short walking distance to all the restaurants and sights. The rooms are still very quiet despite its great location. We thought the hotel was a good value but we did go in the off season.... More

This hotel is not quite on the harbor, but it is a lovely destination nonetheless. As I recall, the woman in reception told me the hotel dates to the 1600s, and it has all the character that age implies. It is a lovely building on a waterway that is meters from the main picturesque yacht harbor of the town. The... More
