Lovely bedrooms (in hindsight I should have booked a larger room, as was a bit tight, but totally my own fault). Cleaned every day, towels replenished. Really nice location.

Very nice hotel in a great location overlooking the harbour and adjacent to the aquarium. Comfortable room and bed, the room was nice a clean with good facilities. Reception staff were excellent helping my wife with a lost iPad left in a sister hotel in Rouen. Private parking, take a ticket on entry and pay at the barrier when leaving. Would recommend.

Excellent hotel

Fabulous stay, great friendly staff. Very clean and comfy hotel with easy access to fresh drinking water. Has a small gym, a swimming pool and posh bar. My only issue is that with lost property they aren't proactive in informing the guest that they have found your items. Once with my wallet when I described that I had lost it and the person said nothing was handed in without checking and when I insisted she checked, found it straight away with my room number on the postit with my name. Should have been made aware earlier. As too my charger.
