Compared to other areas, the location is quite bleak and uninspiring. The overall set up i.e. having the apartments across the road from the reception / restaurant does not provide a welcoming, secure feel and results in a feeling of isolation. While the room was adequate and clean, the location on the second floor (with no lift) was very inconvenient. Also, the fact that pigeons were living in the roof space and were depositing excrement all over the hand rails / stairs significantly down grades this facility.

The part of the hotel that we stayed in set back from the road and was very private with safe and ample parking. The beach was across the street down a path. Restaurants were minutes away by foot and there were many to choose from.My only complaint was (typical of European Hotels) the room was small but that really didn’t matter as we were touring all day. Great place to stay.

The room we booked is advertised as a \"double room, garden view, annex building\" but unfortunately there are no windows and only a door to a tiny balcony for natural light - not much of a garden view. The room is crowded and it is virtually impossible to navigate around the bed and furniture. How a family of 4 would survive in these rooms is beyond me as there are only beds - no chairs.
The rooms are stuffy and lack air circulation and the bathroom while very modern is tiny. Additionally, the lights are simply ceiling and wall spotlights which are blinding. The only other lights are two tiny reading lights on flexible stems on the headboard of the bed that barely illuminate anything so its either 10,000 watts of light or pitch black Really poorly thought out. I would bet the designer of that room has never slept in a hotel for any length of time.

Nice rooms!

I booked 1 night thinking I’d be right next to the beach. Garden view is actually a separate cottage 300m 2 blocks away. Everything seems very recent and well renovated, very comfortable. I would not hesitate to go back however, it would be nice to know that the actual hotel location is not like on the map. I had dinner at the restaurant which is in the main building by the beach. It was quite good but service was a bit long and food was a bit pricey.

Beach hotel with an excellent restaurant

Many local folks and tourists seem to come to this hotel for dinner. I recommend it for dinner too, excellent food. The location is right on the beach. The only inconvenience is access to certain rooms, which has to be through the restaurant, which is really weird, especially when I had to take my dog out and had to squeeze between the tables. Recommended otherwise.

You need to know where the rooms are; on the map, it looks right on the beach, and the rooms have sea views. However, when they say “Côté jardin”, it’s another building, a few doors down and across the street. If you get a room on the second floor, there is no elevator so be aware. These are just practical tips, don’t let it scare you away. The place was great, still mere metres from the beach, very clean, the breakfast was nice, the staff is excellent. Make sure to try their restaurant, it is great. We had a family room, with twin beds in a loft, which the kids loved.

It’s a nice walk to the Juno Beach centre, which every Canadian has to see once. In the morning there is a fish market, giving you a local vibe.

The location of the rooms in the hotel is ideal. Right overlooking the beach with great views. Be careful because I think they also own a property just off the beach called the residences which will not have ocean views. The room was very spacious, tidy, and comfortable and the bathroom was modern and updated and clean. The arrangement is a little odd-- one checks in at the restaurant desk and walks through the restaurant diners to get up to the rooms. No elevator, you'll be lugging suitcases up multiple staircases. The stairwell and at times the room itself smelled odd-- like seafood or other smells wafting up from the kitchen below. The first night of our stay it was cool outside, so we closed the windows while we slept and the smells in the room that accumulated from below were terrible. So, windows open the next two nights. There is no AC, but even in July we were okay. We did have a little portable fan with us. The area around the hotel is lovely and lively.

Extremely disappointed at checkout, we were charged for 5 days breakfast.
Which rought the cost of the hotel to just under £600.
Not worth the money.

Location is interesting if you are interested in the Normandy beaches, esp. Juno Beach (Canadian landing). the Juno beach centre is nearby and is interesting, but limited. Good beaches for sunbathing.

Important to know that most tourists there are french-speaking and most staff do not speak English. Check in was by a fluent English speaker, but nobody else we dealt with spoke English. They were generally willing to help with my not-great French, but people with no French should be aware.

Needs weeding. Towels changed every day despite not needed yet dirty floor not cleaned once. Main reception is across the road and along a bit in a separate building. On check out they forgot my bill and tried to make me collect from main reception. The card machine then didn’t work so I had to go there anyway. The guy at reception laughed.

A gem of a good hotel

Most, if not all, of the bedrooms seem to be located in annex buildings which are one street back from the main sea front, but what you might lose in sea view you certainly gain in terms of a peaceful and secluded location with gardens for relaxing, and very easy access to the beach if you want it. Breakfast is a typically French buffet, taken in a breakfast room, or in the garden if you prefer. Dinners beautifully cooked, well presented, plenty of choice a la carte and on menus, and a reasonably priced wine list too - you can dine in the open air terrace or indoors (but reserve a table if you need the sea view while you're eating!)

Try the place opposite the line of market stalls at the end where the port x over bridge is situated they will cook & serve the fish you chose with a local wine or other drink almost as cheap as taking home to cook yourself.
