Although the room was pleasant amenities were very poor. No internet, no tea/coffee making facilities. Area very noisy with nightclub close by even with windows closed which made the room very warm. Front desk staff were very friendly.

Response from Virginie Dutant on Aug 6, 2022
Dear Madam, We are sorry to hear that your stay was not up to your expectations, we do our best to make your holiday as pleasant as possible. We are well aware that British clients are used to having coffee / tea making faciities in their room. Please be informed that we do have kettles available on request and in the privilege category rooms there are Nespresso machines at your disposal. We are lucky to be in the town centre, close to the beach and restaurants, so obviously in the summer period there are more people around and the street can be noisy, patience is a virtue! We look forward to seeing you at a later date, Kind regards, Virginie Dutant

This is a nice villa in the center of town, close to everything, beach, dining, shopping. Limited on-site parking, reserve early.

Bathroom was poorly designed, as could not sit properly on toilet because of a wall. Not enough room for my legs!! In quieter rooms, wifi is not strong so you have a choice of quiet or good wifi due to the mlocation of the central box for wifi.

I didn’t know they had parking spaces but that maybe your fault for not highlighting them. Think they could make more of an effort with toiletries. Very nice staff and a lovely spacious room

Short break in Normandy
Three enjoyable days in Trouville-sur-Mer. Beautiful coastline with stunning houses. Seagulls were very noisy! Hotel in great location but our room was 'compact'!

Nice hotel near town center
Overall good hotel and within a few minutes walking distance into center. Lots of restaurants around. Hotel is quite small entrance off Rue Victor Hugo not on it, less easy to find. However, no parking available, have to use metered or if you’re lucky there are a few precious off street spaces free but walk for 5-10 min away from town.

Very nice hotel near the beach and restaurants
I stayed at this hotel on the coast while on a visit from the U.S. The hotel was steps from the beautiful Trouville beach and restaurants. It is a typical European hotel in that there is no AC and the rooms are on the small side but it was perfect as the windows open fully out onto the side streets to bring in fresh air and the sounds of the seagulls day and night. The staff was very friendly and helpful and the room was very clean and comfortable. I would highly recommend this hotel if you are visiting the area.

Nice small hotel by the beach
Enjoyed our stay at Hotel Le Fer à Cheval. They welcomed us with our frenchie pup and always with a smile! The hotel is conveniently located a short walk to the beach and restaurants. Trouville is a very special place and Hotel Le Fer a Cheval is a very special small hotel.

Clerk spoke English making things much easier for us! Airline crew was checking in as we were checking out. Told me they stayed there regularly because it is quiet both day and night.

Disapointing, would not stay there again.
Disappointed in the hotel room (205). Dated furniture, damaged furniture. Small room. Bathroom was fine other than bathtub a bit damaged too. Breakfast was not exceptional, other than the home made croissant that were really nice, service to clear table and refill buffet was slow, bread was industrial and the rest too. Check-in and overall staff was friendly-ish but nothing outstanding. We would not recommend to stay in this hotel if you are looking for a romantique weekend considering the price it was even during Easter weekend.

Lovely cosy family run hotel.
We had a great stay at this hotel. The staff were very friendly and exceptionally helpful. They also spoke good English. Great location within easy walking distance to the town and beach. Good value for money and would definitely stay there again. Wished we had longer there, but our flight with Flybe was cancelled and so arrived a day late!.

Great time in a French holiday town.
Coming with a car was a little difficult as we were there during the school holidays so parking was a bit of an issue. We loved the hotel and the hostesses, Sonja and Virginia, were excellent. Coming from the USA, we found the rooms a bit small but comfortable. Good hotel to expore local area, but ideally for those who want a beach and resort atmosphere.

Deceptive Hotel Marketing
First the picture has been photo shopped to give the illusion that this is a stand-alone hotel. It is not . It is jammed onto a side street corner and is difficult to find. There is little parking (3 cars) but street parking is available after 1900. The breakfast was expensive and there are no amenities in the bathroom.

The hotel is comfortable, but with few amenities. The staff was very accommodating. Parking is difficult. One generally has to park on the street, and it is difficult to find a free space. However, in the paid lots nearby by the casino, the parking is free between 7:00 p.m. and 9:00 a.m.. The bathroom was modern and decent sized. The bedroom was small and the room had no air conditioning, although one could open the windows to permit a breeze.

Lovely Boutique Hotel
Excellent small boutique hotel close to the fish market inTrouville. Friendly staff and lovely clean and stylish room. Parking limited to just 3 spaces so you may need to polish up on your parallel parking skills to squeeze into a tiny space on the street. Only negative would be the noisy floor boards - a consequence of being in an old building perhaps?

We wanted to goto Honfluer and instead we picked this lovley town. Amazing seafood and even designer shopping on the town across the wee river. We had the most amazing time here. The staff were great and down to earth, parking can be a bit of an issue but we didnt mind.

Fantastic little place
I stayed here with my girlfriend and i can't say enough good things about it. The location was fantastic and the women running the place are very accommodating and pleasant. Plus you book for a fantastic rate! I would certainly return although i doubt i will ever be lucky enough to visit the beautiful city of Trouville again. Allez!

Hotel is well located near shops and 2 blocks from the beach. Room was "tres comfortable" and the staff put up with my bad French. Nice sized bathroom, by French hotel standards. Above-average continental- style breakfast. I would definitely stay here again.

Excellent mini break
A lovely location in a working fishing port with plenty of excellent restaurants. The hotel was very comfortable but rated a 4 rather than 5 because of some cracked tiles in the bathroom. We had breakfast at the hotel twice but also found a bar which did an excellent breakfast at a slighter cheaper rate. The hotel staff were all very welcoming and knew English if you are not so confident in French. Trouville was quite sleepy at Easter with a two hour lunch closure which may not be the case in the summer. The same for Deauville which is in easy walking distance and somewhat smarter. Excellent fish market daily. Thoroughly recommended and I am sure we will return.
