Hotels with Bars in Ouistreham

This review is based on the hotel being a 4* spa hotel. It's more like a 3*. Based on the price and rating, it falls short of what you pay for & what you get. The location is excellent - best in the area and there is no competition, so for that, it's worth it's 4*. It's well staffed and most staff are helpful & attentive. We had lunch on the terrace on a sunny day, and the service then wasn't the best. Different waiters came each time, so they didn't know who had ordered what. Usually in France we notice they always do and that's what sets French service apart from others. Not the case here - the wrong dishes were brought, there was some confusion and the sharing dishes we did order all arrived at different times. It was rather lacking and felt disjointed. We had to ask for drinks twice and that was also confusing. We had breakfast every day. Decent enough - but the layout of the breakfast, especially in the corner where the bread and jams were made it congested there. They have the guest reception/greeting desk in the same corner, rather than right at the door as you enter, so it was rather confusing for those on their first day, wondering where the staff member was. A simple rearrangement would solve this. We had the best room - the suite. Usually, I'd expect some extra items in a suite, like complementary drinks, fruit - I've even had reserved tables at breakfast, reflecting the premium price of a suite (especially in high season). There was nothing. Each day we had to ask for the water to be replenished and there was nothing else in the fridge. There was tea/coffee but no milk. We could have asked for milk from the bar. Remember this is a suite in a 4*... on the ferry over, in their premier cabins, we had better service. It left me wondering where the extra money (and it was a lot) went, other than a bigger room. The room was nice. The toilet was very small, though and getting in and out takes careful planning as the door opens inwards. Astonishingly - there were no USB ports in the room. The 3* budget hotel I use for work has these, as did the basic cabin on the ferry over, but none here. I do have an adapter but did't imagine I'd need it in a hotel of this level, so left it behind. This can easily be solved. Charging phones/cameras became a chore. The view was nice, but the windows are very small and narrow. I had to stoop to see the view, or sot down and stretch up. The spa was OK. The steam room wasn't working for a while and I couldn't find any staff for some time. Someone else reported it, but it never returned to proper service. It had been OK the previous day. They do let children in the spa, which is something I'd change. A spa is supposed to be a place to relax and putting up with other people's children is often not conductive to that. In summary, it's a pleasant hotel, with nice staff and I would stay again if in the area, however, for the price and rating, it does fall short. I wouldn't bother with the suite.

Ask for ground floor room because the upstairs rooms haven’t been renovated. The toilet didn’t work and it was old and tired looking. Room 31. We asked to be moved. Room 2 is great. Good value. Excellent restaurant next door for lunch and dinner. Hotel has very nice staff. Breakfast excellently presented. Even decaf coffee! Nice little pool and place to rest in garden. Loved our stay for five days.

looking for somewhere close to the Ferry Port for a short 3 day break before moving on here with my Cousin and chose this one as it has it's own car park, A real old charm Villa and family run, Start with the negatives, No lift as it's an old building and access up a flight of steps and no restaurant, Now the positive's, A real old charm Villa that took a battering during the D Day landings and full of charm, A secure car park and seating in the garden, We were met by a young man called i think A”el, who spoke very good English and booked us in with all the info needed, they will ask you what pastries you will want for breakfast as they are baked local daily, it stop's waste, Stairs up to the room, the room was one of the smaller one's but still a decent size, all the usual bathroom gels and soaps, hairdryer and a shower over bath, no issues there, the mattress was a firm and felt like a memory foam type, just my type, remote tv, no breakfast tray but can be hired for a small charge, Breakfast was Continental style buffet and lovely, if you require a mug for tea they have them instead of a cup, pastries brought to your table, the jams, honey and meats are all locally produced, cereals, boiled eggs as you like them, no fried, Me'linda and Julien are always around if you need info and seem to be updating the Hotel in the old charm as it is, there is a very good info pack in the rooms with local restaurants they seem to have checked out for food quality and service, We will return to this Hotel at some date next year, Alan
