Property next to the aquarium, super well located. Breakfast is great, I had the occasion to also have lunch at their restaurant and food was really good. Pool area is nice, the staff is really kind. I would recommend this hotel for sure.

Staff were fantastic, especially the bar staff. Very welcoming and friendly. Hotel was spotless and quiet. The pool area was really nice. 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. Within walking distance of everything.

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.

Very comfortable and great 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.

Great location on water but a lot of closed roads around hotel and somewhat difficult to get too. Parking was an on-site outside lot but very crowded and hard to find space

Good in every way
We chose this hotel because of its on site parking but it provided much more than that. Location is excellent overlooking the port. The service really good and the breakfast better than expected. Will return
