2-Star Hotels in Normandy, France

This was our first stay with B&B Hotels, and the first of 5 bidet hotel stays during a two week road trip around France. The B&B hotel in Alençon stood out for several reasons. The availability of EV charging stations was a real bonus and made our journey much easier. The staff on site were exceptionally helpful and welcoming, quite a contrast to our experience of many of the other budget hotels. Staff suggested we ate in neighbouring restaurant where we got a 20% discount. Even though it had gone 9pm. Restaurant were happy to accept us and our discount was applied. Breakfast was another highlight: hot, well-prepared, and consistently replenished, which made for a great start to each day. Our room was also noticeably more spacious than the one we had in Toulouse, and the shower was excellent, with plenty of space, strong water pressure, and reliably hot water. What really made this stay memorable, however, was the staff. Across all five B&B Hotels we stayed in the week, the team here in Alençon were by far the most engaged, attentive, and customer-focused.

I had a comfortable stay whilst waiting for the early morning ferry. A little tricky to get to but the facilities were good as was the service. I didn't try the optional breakfast as I needed to be at the ferry port well before it was available. Would I stay again? Yes I would as it was good value for money.

Hôtel agréable et accueil sympathique. Chambre un peu triste et légèrement vieillissante mais propre

The room, the passage between the bed and the wall, the shower, the sink, the toilet, the cup for tea in the morning, the breakfast tray, etc., are all small! This is unexpected. However, the hotel is very clean, the reception staff is friendly and the parking lot is large. It should be noted that although the breakfast selection is rich, I think the quality is average and there is no taste. I think I have had a better breakfast at other ibis hotels.

Pros: The staff is very nice and welcoming. We had a room on the first floor, which was very convenient since the hotel does not have an elevator. However, if you are traveling only with backpacks, this should not be a problem. Although the hotel is relatively inexpensive, it is very cozy and comfortable. We stayed in a room with three beds: one large bed and two smaller beds, as well as a spacious bathroom. Just be aware that the hotel does not provide slippers, but you can ask for water bottle. Cons: The towels could be cleaned better, as they already look quite gray and worn. And on the second day, the housekeeping staff only brought fresh towels and did not make the beds.

The reception is only available at fixed times and during the weekend they don't answer emails. I had problems with check-in because I had no instructions for automatic check-in. So I had to wait until 9:00 the next day to have the room available for only three hours. These are equipped apartments, they are very clean, quiet and the outdoor parking is free. Unfortunately, access to the video-monitored garage is not allowed. In summary, the structure offers an acceptable price/quality ratio.

Absolute nightmare with self check in Didn't have the correct booking number as I arrived late. Fortunately I was shown the intercom and accessed the self booking machine Very poor instructions and very stressful after a long day's travel. The room was superb spacious and quiet welcome shower when I eventually got in my room and comfy bed and welcome Aircon. Breakfast was delicious lots of options and good value. I am returning in August but reception will be open when I arrive 😄

Uns hat alles gefallen: sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter, schnelles internet, 2 Handtücher pro Person, bequemes Bett, ein sehr sauberes Zimmer, tolle Lage (gleich am Busbahnhof), 5-7 Minuten zu Fuß bis zum Zentrum oder alten Hafen. Wir waren mit der Aufenthalt sehr zufrieden und können das Hotel jedem empfehlen. Wir würden hier nochmal übernachten, wenn wie wieder in Honfleur sind.

I arrived at the hotel on July 13th around 7:30 pm, but the hotel said that there was no booking despite that I shown the receptionist your confirmation email hence I could not stay.  I email your support service but it did not help, only said that I am not entitled to a refund, but it was nothing to do with me, it was a mistake between your company and the hotel, I was turned away.  I am a regular user and I am very  unhappy.  Please send this to your customer care.  Check my records you will know how many times I have used you in this year.
