A nice old building. Good rooms. Basic breakfast available. Ten minute walk to the beach and shops and restaurants.

Horrible room!! We couldn’t sleep, the bed linen seems had dust mites. Damp and felt like a prison cell! The staff seemed friendly though. Strange that we had to book what time to eat breakfast. Good location, but we will never come back to that hotel!
4.0
The location of the hotel is good, between the beach and the city center, in a very beautiful and quite neighborhood .

Hotel vintage very pleasant. Very good for price.

I really liked my room here. It was charming, clean, big enough and everything was working. The service was very friendly and helpful. Cafe's, restaurants, beaches, the park and the train station are in walking distance.

Our room had no air conditioning (despite being advertised as having it), no airflow, and was in the basement next to the breakfast room. Maybe other rooms are better, but this one is unfit for guests.
There was also black mold on the ceiling in the bathroom and in the air vents, which is not surprising given how hot and steamy the room was all the time. Yes, the decor is old and the room is small, but it was really the temperature that made it completely unsuitable. I’ve stayed in inexpensive hotels all around the world, but have never had a room as bad as this.
It was also advertised as a bike hotel, but only allowed check in after 3 (not simple after a long morning of riding). It also only had bike parking available outside—if we had been on more expensive bikes, this would have been a big concern.

The hotel is pretty from the outside.
It is outdated inside as you see in the pictures of the bathrooms.
The bed is confortable enough
Towels were fine.
Pillows were too soft
There were no fridge, no kettler.
Asked for the kettler, cups and forks but lafdy seemed surprised and said "i'll try", which is succeeded.
Hotel is 10 min walking distance from city center and 5-10 min from train station.
Overall ok stay for 60€/night.

Well located. Friendly multilingual reception.

I read some reviews that say that the hotel is dated. However, I actually like that it has character. It is pretty imo. So it is not exactly like the chain hotels, but has it's own charisma. The hotel is easy to get to, and it's next to police station and fire station (very safe :-)) The front curve stairway is beautiful, but it also means you have to lug the luggage up there. There is a lift, but to access my room, I needed to lug my luggage up the stairs. My room was not accessible by lift. So if you have a heavy luggage/ weak legs, you may not find this hotel appealing.
Other then that, the room was clean and comfortable enough. Note though, the shower area is in a bathtub, which you have to climb into.
I loved my stay there. I count myself lucky to stay in this charming hotel.

A quite medocre hotel, beatiful from the outside, but quite old and used on the inside. Also the receptionist was very dry and of few words when accomodating us. While the gentleman after us got a royal welcoming with warmth and smiles... Strange!

Clean but oh so small.
Twin room could have been the smallest I have ever stayed in, although everything was provided there was almost o room to move around.
Bathroom although well equipped was so small with no room to manoeuvre.

Nice pool. Well located. Staff unhelpful. Service minimalist.

The room was underground and we could hear everything from outside to our neighbours talking normally in the corridor. The door to the outside corridor (not the main one) did not close properly. We had a few insects coming in. Heard a rat or a cat digging into the trash which were outside by our door. We flagged it to the receptionist in the morning and she said we should have asked someone to chase the rat or cat. Would not recommend for a relax stay.

Very nice older hotel. Nice setting. A little hard to find.
4.0
The location of the hotel was perfect for us as we were travelling by train; just a short walk from the station and the sea front.
The hotel itself is a bit old-fashioned but nice, it is in a residential area so very quiet at night. Our room on the first floor was small but perfectly clean and comfortable with lots of natural light. No coffee/tea facilities in the room but this is common in France and you can get a hot drink at reception at any time.
It is worth nothing that there is no secure luggage room, however it is possible to leave luggage at the reception desk. The outdoor, and non-heated, swimming pool also could benefit from a refurbishment as it looks a bit dated and the space could be better exploited.

Lovely hotel and great location to get everywhere and also having a car park is a bonus, only negative was our room we had which was two tiered so bed up some steep stairs so visiting bathroom in the night not ideal.
