Good position main benefit.

Limited reception time. Bathroom smelt dank. Very high step to shower. Main benefit was close proximity to ferry.

I do stay here 3 times a year but it’s busy. I don’t expect to be remembered but I was and that is welcoming. Particularly good as a solo traveller. I feel looked after in le phare. Plus I enjoy the atmosphere and location when having supper. The rooms are very clean.

The receptionist on Saturday night was brilliant. I wanted to make another reservation for August and immediately he took care of it Food in the reception is very good and the beer ( Afligem) tasted even better after arriving from Tours. Very close to the D day beaches and Pegasus bridge

It's 5 minutes from Ferry terminal. Clean, has everything you want. Breakfast extra cost but very good. For early Ferry crossings its absolutely perfect.

Grave mistake.

I have never in all my years of traveling stopped at worse Hotel than this one. The room is extremely dirty. The room and toilet smell, is like a sewer. The shower head was broken they attempted to repair it (did not) said they would come back (did not). The reception is occasionally manned so often when you need somebody there is no one there. Most thing are broken, no handles on wardrobe doors, no heating. The place is a disaster and unfit for human occupancy. Do not go anywhere near the place.

Super location for ferry, but several drawbacks.

Location spot on for overnighting before ferry crossing. Restaurant pretty good too. But our double room was comparatively small, as was the bed, with little room to move around the bed or room. No kettle, tea or coffee, nor water. Bathroom ok. Overall our 100 euro cost was, by normal French standards, well over the top.

This property I used for convenience for Ferry terminal. 5 minutes away. Rooms have everything you need. Bar restaurant seating outside. Staff speak English. Breakfast additional cost. Meals very good with fast service. Definitely use this hotel for future visits.

very good indeed

The hotel was very close to the ferry, staff were friendly, breakfast was worthwhile - very fresh croissants. Just to say that there are quite a lot of steep stairs if you have a large suitcase but we didnt so not a problem

Ideal stopover for ferry

Nice stay, very clean & so nice to have a room with a view of the port. A very pleasant restaurant with a good menu. Brilliant to have on site parking even with municipal car park close by. Did not experience breakfast because we did not know what time it started.

Barely adequate.

Clean room, and comfortable bed. Water so soft it was virtually impossible to rinse off. No left-luggage room, which made sightseeing very inconvenient.

A dangerous shower. Controls broken. Clearly damp with plaster peeling off the walls. A window that is broken and cannot be closed so you have to endure the noise of the HGVs heading to the Port. Horrible.

The hotel and restaurant were excellent. The room was small but clean and as requested we were allocated a room on the first floor near the stairs. However, as a warning to future guests this is an area where there are a lot of immigrant young men who spent most of the night tryhing to break into cars particularly UK cars. People should not leave any valuable in cars and should be aware of this problem. Police presence but not all the time. Do not let you put off staying here but just be aware.

Nice smile and welcome on reception, BUT the room was very small, Dirty, shower head was loose and not easy to use , and shower would not drain as fast as the water cam out the tap.

Stayed twice - on ferry in and out trips Reception service the worst I have ever had in France On first trip the hotel car parking was closed off due to local fete. We went to reception to ask what to do and got Gallic shrug - it will be opened when the fireworks end. Went back later and still nothing except same shrug. After a local policeman helped us get into the park and we finally got in at just before 11.30. Dumped bags and when down to get a drink and waiter sad at 11.31 "closed" even though they were still serving existing guests. Pointed out we were residents and got "Fermee" with no hint of help. As we were booked to go back on return I thought we would give them another chance. Car Park was full - asked were to go and got a point to municipal park and same shrug. He did however recognise the booking and got key. The phone then rang and he spent a considerable time negociating a new booking leaving me standing there. There is no lift (we knew that) but no effort or offer to help with luggage up steep stairs even though I was walking with 2 sticks. AVOID HOTEL DU PHARE AT ALL COSTS

O que achei

Quarto limpo, funcionários do hotel atenciosos, quarto pequeno. Se você traz malas grandes é um problema, mas se trazer apenas uma ou duas malas de mão, o tamanho é suficiente. Banheiro é bom porem se você gosta de um banho muito muito muito quente, o chuveiro não esquenta tanto. O restaurante embaixo do hotel é muito bom e os preços também.
