Check in was easy, once we found the red door, the hotel.is in 2 different buildings. The staff was wonderful. The room was great we had room 11 facing the Marina and street. Room was spacious with a seating area and large bathroom with tub and separate shower. They had an honor bar where you pour and record your drinks in a notebook. Great location in the town center

A really charming bijou hotel. Our superior room was great - loads of space and a bath plus a shower. The lounge area and honesty bar are cosy and comfortable. Staff could not be more helpful with dinner recommendations and reservations. Even the map they gave us was better than most. They were really nice with our 2 small dogs and it’s in a great location. Parking off site but close by and secure. Drop off is a bit tricky but not hideous and to be expected in such and old town. We would definitely stay here again and recommend it 100%. Just lovely.

Lovely breakfast and very helpful staff. Parking is a 10 minute walk away in a covered garage. Very lively spot directly on the street, not meant for those wishing to sleep in. All in all, an enjoyable stay and we would return.

What a gem in Honfleur! Great location, close to shops, restaurants and points of interest. We were in the "newer" section of the hotel and had a wonderful, large room with a great view of the docks. Breakfast was lovely and the staff was courteous and helpful. The hotel provides very secure parking but take note that it is a 5-6 minute walk to the hotel from the lot.

Excellent hotel in a perfect location. Small boutique style, nice rooms many with harbour views. Lovely reception and bar area to grab a drink from the honour bar, and service is top notch.
