Great location and the pool and seating area definitely a luxury. Would like the aircon to be lower the 22 degree as that is hot for me.
Sheila, 3-night trip

The entire hotel was completely remodeled and everything feels new. Location is great, food is great, staff is great. Rooms are large and comfortable. Breakfast buffet is amazing. So excited to see "American coffee" available!
Anna, 5-night trip

8/10 Very good

Have stayed here before so know the hotel is in a great position in the old port. Room was on the small side however and would have liked a bath but only a shower available. There was a kettle in the room but no cups (?) and no fridge

10/10 Exceptional

Excellent breakfast for vegans. Parking is easy. Unlimited amount of water for the room. Good, central location.
Adele, 2-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.
Rebecca, 7-night trip

10/10 Exceptional

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.

Nous recommandons.

Prévenir à l’arrivée en cas d’utilisation du parking si le ticket est perdu cela peut engendrer un montant de 100 euros. Pieds de parasol à la piscine mais il manquait le parasols. Accès internet, accueil service personnel et restauration excellents. Fontaine d’eaux aux étages très appréciable par temps de canicule. Situation parfaite. Merci pour la qualité de notre séjour.
