Awesome

Nice hotel in the city centre. Offered me a parking spot for my motorcycle in a garage. Free coffee in the dining room, probably tee as well. Wifi was ok to watch Netflix.

Room is quite small, which was ok with me but I'd like to have a small table in the room. Nothing much else to say here.

Charming and Mysterious Stay at a Retro-Styled Hotel in Etretat

I recently had the pleasure of staying at a charming retro-styled hotel in Etretat that felt like it was straight out of an Agatha Christie novel. This unique establishment offered an excellent location, close to the town hall and the tourist office, making it convenient for exploring the area. My experience at this hotel was filled with intrigue and delight. One of the standout features of this hotel was the individuality of each room. Each one boasted a different style and held its own secrets waiting to be discovered. This added an element of mystery and excitement to my stay, making it feel like a true adventure. The breakfast, although available at an additional cost of 25 EUR for two people, was worth every penny. It was both delicious and plentiful, providing a satisfying start to the day. The attentive staff ensured that my dining experience was enjoyable, and their warm hospitality made me feel welcome throughout my stay.

While my overall experience at this retro-styled hotel in Etretat was largely positive, there are a few aspects that are worth mentioning as potential drawbacks. Firstly, the additional charge for breakfast may be seen as a downside for some guests who prefer to have the option included in the room rate. However, considering the quality and abundance of the breakfast, I found it to be well worth the extra expense. Another point to note is that due to the unique and varied room styles, some rooms may be more to one's liking than others. It's important for potential guests to inquire about the specific room style and amenities before making a reservation, to ensure it aligns with their personal preferences and needs. Despite these minor considerations, the overall experience at this retro-styled hotel in Etretat was memorable and enjoyable. The welcoming atmosphere, excellent location, and intriguing room styles make it a highly recommended place to stay when visiting the beautiful town of Etretat.

This place is a gem! Exciting and different. Nice staff, good breakfast. But most important is the atmosphere. Here that is the thing.

We would definitely stay here again when we come back!

This is such a clever, charming hotel! Our room was spectacular and had plenty of space. We loved the breakfast selection of food and coffee maker! The hotel owner’s cat greeted us and was very friendly :) The decor was very impressive and all the furniture was comfortable.

No negative comments. The Detective was more than expected. So charming. It was perfect.

Unique and great

1. Very unique decor, give you a decent vibe in etretat 2. Very good location, just next to the town's bus station. Had pharmacy and supermarket nearby 3. The staff is very nice and friendly 4. They have leisure room in lobby, where there is a wide range of tea selection, board games and books for everyone 5. They lock the front door, feels very secured (of cos they also give you key)

1. No water boiler in your room, need to go to lobby 2. Lobby's hot water bottle may get emptied if you go too late 3. Room a little bit too dim

Hotel is ok, but not the man at the desk.

it’s an old styled hotel and not far from beach. it was as like going into antique shop or flea market. They keep your bags at the reception until 20:00.

The man at the desk is not very friendly with coloured people. There are incidents that he behaved strange to us. breakfast wasn’t that good.

Unique, comfortable properly steps from main tourist area (but not in busiest part)

Charming and full of character. Clean and comfortable. Owner/staff very nice. Good size space for France. Highlight is library/lounge in lobby area with coffee and tea with China cups and complimentary snack. There are MANY detective books and also books about the area. Library is open until 11 PM. Nearly all books are in French, but there are some in other languages if you look.

No elevator. if you have bags, they must be taken up the spiral staircase. Owner DID offer to help carry. If you are not strong and able bodied, I would ask when/before you make reservations. Parking not on site, but within block. inexpensive, but not included in rate. I would still stay here again! on site parking and elevators are not common in this area anyway.

Delightful hotel... and owner.

Loved the theme and decor of this hotel. Some nice common areas with tons of memorabilia, gadgets, and books to catch your interest. Breakfast area is very interesting and breakfast was more than we expected. Nice mellow music too. Owner is extremely engaging, knowledgeable and helpful. Loved our room. Best of all... nice secure area to store the bicycles we were traveling on.

Everything was fine.

Uncomfortable room and hotel. No COVID measures respected it at all. People in the hotel without masks. Dirty bed.

Superb

It’s a charming place . You do not find luxury but you find comfort, a warm welcome by the host and a “fil rouge “ everywhere based on detective’s series both in literature and in movies. Breakfast rich and tasty.

The entrance is a bit neglected

Lovely concept

Fab location, the theme was really fun with lots of attention to detail. Free tea and coffee in a living room was great. Staff were very nice.

Having the reception and communal areas close across lunchtime was difficult for leaving bags / waiting for transport
