Hôtel ayant besoin d’être grandement rafraîchi. Non adapté aux familles mais plus aux personnes âgées qui sont présents en grand nombre.

Propreté à revoir, coussin extérieur sales, eau de la piscine est brouillée et l’odeur dans les chambres d’humidité est bien présente.

Nice hotel and spa but room was extremely small for a couple, almost no desk . No way to get around the person seating on the stool a small table/desk except go on top of the bed. Bathroom very small too/ no room to store toiletry of 2 people. spa was nice especially the large pool and small/relaxing pool (Jacuzzi small and not great in term of jets and temperature). Staff was helpful and nice except for one lady at the spa who was not customer oriented

With the exception of one young lady who helped check us in, the rest of the staff was unwilling to help us because they did not speak English. They did not attempt to help & it was obvious by the way they helped other customers who spoke French. My husband spoke limited French but he was quickly dismissed as we were a nuisance to them for not speaking their language.

We stayed here about 8 years ago and always knew we wanted to cone back. The salt water pool is great, you feel so nice after you come out, but it does get busy as they have classes (aquagym/water aerobics) that I think a lot of local people go to who I assume are spa members, as it's not just a hotel. Most of the people who stay there are French (at least when I have been there) so it's not overrun by Brits and you feel you are actually away from home. I need to learn some French for my next stay! The location is great as there is the veach, of course which is lovely and best on sunny days. It also has tge historic d-day connection and driving distance to the main memorial and cemetery. There are some kids attractions (might be summer opening only) and a small park. Several restaurants and bars in walking distance.

The hotel itself is amazing, very clean and the staff are perfect, and the swimming pool and spa were lovely. It's an easy walk into the main high street, right on the beach and we absolutely loved the hotel itself.

If you are staying and want treatments I would suggest booking them before you get there because it gets pretty busy and it meant we were limited in what we could have in the week we stayed.

Our only complaint was the paid 'add ons' which were terrible. We had a meal in the restaurant which very expensive and absolutely awful (dried meat on dried lentils and hardly any gravy!).

In relation to the treatment options we had two massages which I can only describe as being 'stroked'. During the second one I was actually considering just leaving half way through but didn't want to be impolite! They offer things like hot stones and 'sand bags' but to be honest these seemed just a bit gimmicky and they didn't use them effectively. That said the body wraps and scrubs were amazing.

In short, the hotel is awesome and I cannot recommend it enough. But if you are going to use the treatments in the spa it's defiantly not something I would recommend.

tight WC

The bathroom door opens into the bathroom within two inches of the toilet and inches from the wall. The most comfortable way to open Room 6 bathroom door is to take it off the hinges. The problem is you would have to squeeze into the bathroom stepping over the toilet because the hinges are inside the bathroom. The services was great and the pool hours are short.

Hotel in large was clean and well kept. The rooms are extremely small and the showers do not a have a full seal all the way around it forcing you to shower up against the drain. When the leaking shower was brought to the staffs attention it was explained that “all showers were built this way and I was showering incorrectly.”

The property is on 2 floors and the elevator is some distance from reception - we also (as is our luck!) had to walk a distance to the room.

Parked on site both nights despite the hotel appearing to be busy.

Room - large twin single beds with the usual space to get past the end of the beds (also nice to have 2 armchairs); separate WC in a very tight space; large shower; TV unfortunately only in French; pleasant with A/C and window can be opened. Beds had 'firm' mattresses casuing me a back problem.

Food and service was excellent both nights - an English translation of the restaurant menu would be helpful (bar menu is translated). Great breakfast with cooked option (sausage, scrambled egg, toast) available alongside usual croissant and pastries, cold meats, cheese, fruits, yogurts etc.

I never ate an evening meal so can't comment on this but breakfast was 21 Euro's for a standard continental breakfast. Breakfast defiantly not worth 21 Euro's each.

Thalasso weekend

The room was perfect except that someone does not know how to put doors on bathrooms...they opened in to the toilet which meant that you had to practically close the lid, climb up onto it and then shut the door...many of the jets in the Thalasso pool were out of order. It was explained that the site was older so things no longer functionned.

Disappointing.... The hotel & spa itself was nice, but the customer service was one of the worst we have ever experienced. From arrival we did not feel welcome, but decided to try the hotels restaurant at night where we were simply ignored. After taking about an hour to be offered a bread roll, we waited longer.... The food itself when it came was good, it was just unfortunate that we could not try any deserts as they stopped serving by the time we finished our mains. I would not recommend.

The service in the restaurant left a lot to be desired, we felt ignored, al the tables around us received bread, we did not, and we gave up waiting to be asked if we would like some dessert, which we did want but ended up not getting. The pool also closed very early, my wife was disappointed she was unable to have an evening swim.

Ok in Ouistreham

The hotel is nice, but dated. The rooms were comfortable, but as others have mentioned, the bathrooms need to be improved. There is essentially a shower and drain in the middle of the bathroom, with no shower doors such that the entire bathroom floor and gets wet when someone showers. Because of this, the bathroom floor was mildewed. There is a lovely view from the restaurant. The food was a bit overpriced and service was slow, even by French standards. The towels in the spa area are very small and not at all fluffy, as spa towels should be. Also beware if you are traveling with children that the pool is only open a few hours a day to children. Additionally, parking on site can be tricky. There is a lot, but it is apparently also used by the general public and full of cars of non-hotel guests.

One nighter with poor buffet

The hotel was easy to find and had good parking. It is a modern hotel. Reception was good and the room was clean and comfortable and the bathroom was very good - really a wetroom.
Our problem was the restaurant. It was a seafood buffet. The fruits de mer were very good and we enjoyed this. The main courses were hot, but whenever I went up there was either no fish or no vegetables.left. This is always a problem with this buffet style service and with the cost of the meal we felt it was poor service.The hot food has either been in the chafers too long or is not available.
We did not have breakfast as we were away early to catch a ferry.

Nice hotel with a few issues

The hotel is situated by the beach, seafront and nearby pedestrianised centre of Ouistreham.

The streets and other parking areas around the hotel are all pay and display and, being next to the national liberation memorial and almost opposite the No4 Commando Museum, it attracts a lot of visitors. Whilst the hotel car park is free it does not have restricted access and parking spaces can become scarce at certain times of the day.

The hotel is also only about 5 minutes from the Caen/Ouistreham ferry terminal and is a useful site for a short break at the end of a French holiday.

The double room was small (there was a case stand but no room to deploy it) and the decor spoiled by cheap white Melomine fitted cupboards. Whilst it was good to have a separate wc and shower room the lavatory was very small with an inward opening door that almost touched the toilet bowl when opening making exiting the room difficult.

Access to the room was via a flight of 3 narrow stairs at the end of the first floor corridor, which caused some difficulty to my wife, who suffers with arthritis and the promised \"town view\" was a view of air conditioning units on an adjoining flat roof.

However the bed was comfortable, the staff friendly and helpful and the restaurant good although it would have been nice to be able to purchase some more 'snacky ' food at the bar (e.g. cake, sandwiches in the afternoon), although more substantial food was available there at lunchtime and evenings.

This is a hotel for the French only. It was very clear that they never had Americans stay with them and that they were not happy with the fact that we were there. The staff was rude and condescending. If you're French, I highly recommend. If you are American, steer clear and find somewhere else to stay. The food and room were good.

Modern hotel, great pool and close to the ferry

We stayed at the Hotel Riva Bella for one night before catching an early ferry from the port nearby. The reception staff were great and the hotel is extremely clean and modern, seemingly having been very recently refurbished. Our room was fairly small, but had everything we needed, including a very comfortable bed. The health club was fantastic, and provided towels, robes and slippers. The pool was great, and although I didn't use the other facilities they looked good. There are a few good restaurants nearby, and the beach is located directly on a wide sandy beach. I would have no doubt about recommending this hotel, and will definitely stay here next time I am getting an early ferry back to Portsmouth.

Perfect location for overnight stop when using the ferry although negotiating the road system in Ousitreham when we arrived from the UK was a challenge! Hotel a good standard. Breakfast not cheap but high quality and excellent choice. Restaurant staff pleasant, helpful, efficient. Dinner was good although portion size on the small side - especially the fish gougons. A couple of minor niggles - room signage confusing for the room we were allocated (191). Tea and coffee making facilities much appreciated but no milk!
