Great!

Location is excellent, hotel is beautiful and the rooms in the annex building are really nice. The hotel itself feels like a cosy and cool family house which makes me wonder how good it must feel during the winter time. Front desk was always very helpful and kind and made our stay better that we were expecting

Breakfast was huge disappointment. You get a form to fill out the date before with all the items and each local supplier. By the descriptions you feel like ordering everything and there are a few extras which you have to pay more, like a cheese plate which made me imagine all different local cheeses from Normandie and I thought it would be well worth to try. Reality is that you get a small plate with Brie (yes just Brie or something that looks and tastes like Brie) cut in small pieces. And that is it. Similar impressions for the fruit plate. For the other things the portions are very limited: mini butter, one croissant, yogurt is just ok. You can ask for more of almost everything, but at the end I was just annoyed. Anyway...the hotel is great, staff is so so nice and polite...I would 100% stay there and recommend to anyone, but would just go somewhere else for breakfast. Really hope they improve it.

A wonderful, quiet, and comfortable hotel in a perfect location.

Excellent staff (Victor and his morning colleague), hotel was surprisingly quiet, location was perfect, the rooms were clean and comfortable, and the breakfast wonderful. We didn't know what to think of the hotel due to the way the exterior looked in the pictures, but when we got to Honfleur, we realized that ALL the buildings look like that since they are hundreds of years old. But the interior of the hotel was a mix of historical elements and modern finishes. And Victor was very accommodating in making adjustments to our rooms (family of two adults and two adult-sized teenagers). Highly recommend Room 7, top of the hotel, spacious and quiet. Overall a great hotel and we would absolutely stay there again.

There is nothing that could be improved. We were warmly greeted, shown to our rooms, provided with a map of the town and a few dinner recommendations, and offered the locked and private car park, which we accepted. There was even a friendly dog that also greeted us. Oh - if I could change anything, it would be to have coffee available in a common area of the hotel. A member of our family is an early riser and could not find an open coffee shop in town in the early morning. And coffee machines are too loud to use in a room with one person sleeping.

Service with a smile at a historic hotel in the heart of old Honfleur

The hotel is in a wonderful location right in the heart of old Honfleur; it is set in a beautifully modernised and well-maintained historic building with old beams and charming features. The service, both whilst we were there and communications prior to our visit, was excellent with a friendly welcome, good recommendations for sight-seeing, and we were especially pleased to have the opportunity to book a place in their spacious, indoor secure parking garage, which was only a few blocks from the hotel (it would have been very stressful to try to find a parking space when we were in Honfleur as the town was packed and the town car parks were full). Our ground-floor room was spacious and had an excellent bathroom with a walk-in shower and a jacuzzi bath, with good quality toiletries. A nice touch was that the room was equipped with a Nespresso machine and capsules and tea bags, and also a jug of water.

Whilst it was convenient to be able to have breakfast at the hotel, it was expensive for a simple continental breakfast (16 Euros per person for good quality coffee, croissants/pastries, bread, cereal and juice but no savoury options like eggs/cheese/ham, which I would have expected at this price).

The location can't be beat and the owner/host was just great.

We were greeted by Victor - so friendly and kind. He had called the day before and talked us through how to arrive and unload our car and where we could park our car in the hotel's secure lot. Everything went smoothly. Our room was huge! We had a great bathroom too - both a bathtub and a shower, a separate toilet room and a roomy vanity.

It's hard to come up with anything.... but if the towels were a bit more plush, I would have absolutely nothing to complain about. One other thing that I guess is normal all over Europe is that washcloths are not used or provided in hotels. Not a big thing but I used one at home, so I bring them with me.

Fabulously comfy and beautifully done; right in the heart of bustling Honfleur.

Victor was amazing. So friendly and so helpful. In particular, great at ensuring we found the secure parking efficiently and in giving great dinner recommendations. Lovely ambience and decor. Clearly a hotel where great care is taken to make it lovely and inviting for guests.

The aircon in our room was a bit noisy, but it's a v small point!

As a guest house, it is exceptional: as a hotel, charming but basic.

The greeting verged on the effusive, but it is a delight for a solo traveller to be made to feel so welcome. That was special, thank you.

Ground floor room looking onto an alley meant the curtains had to be closed all the time.

Nothing to mention.

Good, but could have been better

Lovely breakfast with great jam selection! It was well located, a few minutes walk from the main basin. The bed was really comfortable. Secure Parking was available nearby (though at a 16euro cost).

A shower curtain might have been nice so that the bathroom floor didn't get wet. Also tea/coffee making facilities weren't available.

Absolutely charming!

Brilliant little hotel! Full of history. Would certainly visit again and recommend. The welcome was amazing, as was the service throughout. Compact, but perfectly comfortable room with everything you could need and an excellent bathroom with spa bath, large shower and separate toilet. Delightful breakfast, not your ordinary hotel fare.

The restaurant adjoining, was rather expensive.

Overall the stay at Hotel L‘absinthe was terrific and I would recommend it to others.

We found Hotel L‘absinthe to be a charming place, cosy and with friendly and helpful staff. The building is historic but very nicely renovated. As a family with 3 kids we felt very much at home.

Perhaps the menu of the restaurant could be more family and kids friendly. The restaurant looked attractive but maybe more targeted to couples and gourmets than to families with kids.
