This hotel is a basic minimalist! Rooms had no Coffee, drawers, not even a picture on the walls. Very basic menu and without a reservation you could not eat dinner in the restaurant. Very clean but not near any attractions.

Great Stay
A great location for our needs - straight off the ferry.
The hotel staff were all helpful and friendly.
A special mention to the bar manager who recommended one of his selected wines - it was superb!

Great overnight stay prior to getting the ferry, staff friendly and helpful. Nice outside pool and sun loungers in garden area, with small football/tennis nets. We didn’t eat here due to visiting Ouistreham and leaving too early in the morning.
Clean and comfortable with a nice modern feel.

Okay hotel BUT restaurant was not good
Check in was good and front desk made reservations for dinner during check-in. When we arrived for dinner we were not acknowledged for 15 minutes and then seated. The dinner was a buffet and there was not a line. No one came to take our drink order or to explain how the buffet choices could be made. We served ourselves and then went to find someone to bring us water to drink. Food was cold and not tasteful. We left. No one came to our table this visit. The restaurant employees were rude and the food was less than mediocre.
