    At the beach side. Beautiful located. Breakfast was buffet style with a lot choice. Beds good!

    Car parking is almost impossible in the underground (chargeable) car park - most difficult tight parking space I have ever parked in. Hotel doesn’t explain this but don’t try and park a big car.

    Good location right in front of the beach. Easy access to the hotel. Lots of places to eat and drink nearby.

    The staff is very nice and have a good sense of humor. The hotel needs some refreshing but they are working on it. Air Conditionning, bathroom, windows are new. A very charming atmosphere we definitely don’t find in standard hotels groups.

    The room was dark and gloomy you couldn't open curtains as it was overlooked..disappointing as they have a lift to upstairs where we could have got light ..parking in garage..make this s no unless you have a tiny car..its really difficult and 12 euros a complete rip off

    It was an attractive hotel, facing the beach..but our room was on the ground floor dark and gloomy..it must have been an office

    Rooms at front and side can be a little noisy as traffic flow is continuous, air conditioning good as it could be too hot to open windows.

    Safe parking, for a small fee, very good reception, with a lift to upper floors. Location fantastic for the whole beachfront. Rooms exceptionally clean and comfortable. We didn't eat breakfast but it looked very good and varied. Some side rooms have good sea views, some comfy couches in the reception hall if you want to sit and read a book on a sofa on some lazy afternoons.

    The hotel is good value, with a prime location. Only two facilities lacking were a bar area to meet/wait for friends and a lack of dedicated parking., although there is a car park about 200m away.

    The hotel is across the road from the beach so sea view rooms have a marvellous view, great to wake up to when you draw the curtains. The staff were all friendly and helpful, with a 24hr night porter for those returning later. Good continental buffet breakfast with the option of scrambled egg and bacon. Rooms spacious and clean with bath and over bath shower, all in good order.

    Bathroom looked a little dated, cables visible in the hall which spoilt the rest of the decor. Rooms are not soundproof.

    Nice location, central and close to wine bar and many restaurants. Lovely view, well decorated lobby. Welcoming staff. The beds and bedding were very comfortable.

    There was nothing not to like. It was spotless clean and had amazing lobby carpeting

    The front desk staff were wonderful and very kind; we speak no French and they never made us feel that was a problem. The room was huge with a very large bathroom. We also loved the bakery adjoining the building, the beautiful empty beach across the street and the Italian Restuarant about four doors down. And there was elevator! There was nothing not to like about this hotel. We fell asleep listening to the ocean. Our favorite hotel on this 5 week road trip through France
