The host was very pleasant and extremely helpful. The room was lovely and clean. The walk-in shower was a pleasure.

The continental breakfast looked fresh, well displayed and the coffee was really good. The host was very attentive and replenished regularly.
Every morning, the room was tidied, beds made up and bins emptied which was a pleasant surprise.

We had a family room which was actually two adjoining bedrooms with separate front doors. Very spacious with two TVs. All windows have security shutters so windows could be left open as it was extremely hot.

The grounds around are very well kept and there is plenty of parking.

It would have been nice to have coffee/ tea facilities in the room as only soft drinks were available outside of breakfast time annd there are no places very close to get a hot drink unless you order in.

From the moment I arrived this hotel surprised me. Reception was quick and simple. The staff were amazing. Knowledgeable and charming. The room was very good. The bathroom was immaculate with plenty of room. Towels excellent and very good toilet paper. Overall it must be the place to stay in that area and beyond.

Great overnight stop convenient for ferry.

This was an overnight stop having travelled by ferry from Newhaven earlier the same day.

As the ferry docks after the check in closes tge arrangements for late check in are important to me - they are straightforward! Email the motel in advance and they send you a key box code.

This hotel is off a main road leading from Dieppe to the motorway but is quiet and whilst it would be best to have a car there is a bus service nearby. It is convenient for a visit to the Canadian War Cemetery about 15 minutes walk away and there is a mall nearby but otherwise a bit isolated.

Reception closed, so I couldn't get into my room.

I paid up front for a room. I was horrified to find that on my arrival the reception to check-in finishes at 21:00hrs. This is an extraordinary time to close reception. I had just travelled into Dieppe by Ferry, arriving at the port at 22:00hrs. On arrival at the hotel at 22:28 I tried phoning for them to let me in but there was no response to my call. There is no forewarning on the page advertising this hotel that it closes so early. I only read the 'small print' (not on the advertisement page but on the ticket confirmation - by which time it is too late) the next day. I then had to find, and pay for, another hotel room. I am not happy that I've paid for something that I was not able to use.

The rooms were clean. The shower good. The check in straight forward. Open stairs to First floor bedrooms. The biggest issue for us was SECURITY. In the middle of the night 2 men banged on our first floor bedroom door and window shutters for about 10min demanding us to open the door to ‘ talk’. When we did not respond they then said they were police! We believe they intended to extract money/ possessions. They tried this on other bedrooms too, and then left.

Genuine value for money

We have stayed on the outskirts of Dieppe in the past largely because of late booking on our part. Previous accommodation was rather less than satisfactory but this particular motel really, turned out to be very acceptable indeed with a pleasant and inexpensive breakfast to boot. Would go back quite happily but only possible if a car is involved.

Great value hotel.

Great place to stay with a dog on the way to or from ferry. Personally, for me the only downside is the beds are too hard, but the owners who run the hotel are really nice, friendly and helpful. We've found it best for us to book a superior double room, as coffee and biscuits provided, but the rooms themselves all seem to be the same good standard with walk in shower, and very firm bed.
Although we don't use it, there is a Clinique Veterinaire right next door so if you stayed for 2 nights you could get your pet sorted there before returning to the UK.
Also a good centre commerciale just down the road with a flunch restaurant for good value meals.
You can get breakfast at the hotel, which is very good, and also order light meals to collect from reception, though there are no vegetarian options.
Plenty of room to exercise the dog, and a good park at plouville nearby, where it can have a good run.
We always stay at this hotel when travelling to France and back via Newhaven/Dieppe ferry.

Clean, comfortable hotel handy for the ferry

Stayed for one night after the evening DFDS ferry crossing from Newhaven. I needed somewhere close to the ferry terminal to avoid driving too far at night. Hotel was fairly easy to find being on one of the main routes out of Dieppe. I arrived after the reception had closed but the self service check-in was fine - make sure that you phone the hotel in advance! Room was clean and comfortable - bathroom had a decent shower. Good night's sleep - breakfast buffet in the morning was very good for a budget hotel. All in all a recommended hotel.
