Bit of hike off the ferry as a foot passenger but perfect spot in surprisingly nice little town. Staff super helpful sorting out some travel plans, single room was smallish but very nice design and spotless. All the bars and cafes on doorstep its an absolute bargain.

The first of three hotels on my vacation - and absolutely fine. The hotel was minutes away from the bus stop from the ferry - but just outside the door for everywhere else. Overlooking the harbour, it was surrounded by restaurants, A good breakfast and but a short walk to the train station.

Good choice for Cherbourg

We stayed here two nights. We had seen parking listed on the hotel website, but upon arrival found that they do not have hotel parking. You are directed to a city lot behind the hotel that was completely full when we arrived at 6:30 PM. It took us circling the lot for about 20 minutes before we got a space to park. After a long day of travel this was not pleasant for us. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but it is kept in good condition for the most part. Staff was friendly and very helpful regarding places to eat in the area and other advice. We recommend it as a good place to stay in Cherbourg.

We stayed here as it was near the ferry port and wanted it as a base. The staff were brilliant and had a good choice of food for breakfast. They booked us in to a restaurant 2 doors away which was amazing and we booked for the following night also. Will be returning back in August. .
