First, the housekeeping was some of the most excellent service I’ve ever experienced, far better than have experienced in hotels that cost 5x as much in New York City. Everyone was welcoming and respectful and allowed us to quietly explore and simply fall in love with France. I have never cried leaving anywhere but I definitely did as I packed to return home after this introduction to France. I would curl up and live inside of Hotel Normandy forever if I could! My heart and my inner artist never loved any location more than Hotel Normandy & Cap d’ail!

A lovely change to the standard hotel. Lots of personality and a warm welcome on arrival.

Hard to find when driving, no easy beach access. For the price, breakfast should be included

Everything about my stay at Hotel Normandy was wonderful. The staff were so kind and informative and I felt very welcome. 10 minutes walk to a lovely beach. I will certainly go back.

There was no parking and arriving late hard to find down a small street there is no one to greet you. The rooms are tiny, and you can hear every time someone goes in or out. Arriving late on my own was hard to find and though told there was parking there wasn’t any close which is very inconvenient and doesn’t feel safe arriving late as a woman on your own

The hotel is not easy to find, but my problem was in the description it says “free parking.” This is not the case. Very problematic as this was main reason for choosing this property. Desk said only two spaces and were full. Public parking was very complicated and no explanation on Next, check in desk lady was not kind. Rude. No help understanding parking, beaches, AC, internet…etc. we would’ve stayed another night, but felt unwelcome. I did not argue. We are a couple in our 50’s. Went to bed at 8pm. Very well traveled. Super respectful and clean. Do not like being treated badly for no reason. Parking should be taken off. Not cool in Europe.

We enjoyed our stay very much and would return again. We had a superior sea-view room which had an amazing views. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. The location is ideal. This hotel is much better than the listed star rating.

We loved the property and the hosts! Our room was clean and lovely, with an amazing view. The property offers a wonderful breakfast option. The hosts are kind and genuinely try to help their guests enjoy their stay!

Staff and room were great! The only issues we had were finding it with GPS and parking. We had to park in the square near the hotel and walk down the hill.

I’ve travelled a lot and I’ve never experience this. Why people rate this hotel highly is beyond me. Place is dirty, worn down and the owner is needlessly rude. My wife almost got a scolding at for asking to borrow two spoons and when we arrived back at the hotel at 11.40, I was told “I was behaving like I own the room for the entire day”. Would suggest to find another place if I were you.
