“Small and clean”

A great hotel for a few days stay or visiting the D-day beaches.The rooms are small but very clean and nicely styled, also the price is very reasonable. We enjoyed the breakfast and the free 'no fuss' wi-fi. It is located just a few yards from the beach.

“Good value base for the beaches”

We (I) chose this hotel on it's price, which seemed worryingly low, and previous good reviews. There were a couple of poor reviews which I must admit left me worried the whole time leading up to our arrival at La Canada. On arrival i had the feeling my worst fears were coming true. We were placed in the Annex across the road from the main hotel and from memory the annex was the main problem in other reviews. But i needn't have worried. Yes the front door to the annex is broken and doesn't lock. And the decor is perhaps a little low rent if you are used to plusher surroundings. But the room was a good size, with two comfortable beds, TV, bathroom, excellent shower. The continental breakfast was absolutely superb and the wireless internet worked flawlessly with my laptop. The manager/owner is very helpful and does speak a certain amount of English. Parking was not a problem, with plenty of parking around the annex. The Hotel is perfectly positioned for a break visiting the D-Day attractions. It's only a short distance from the ferry at Caen. We took a small diversion and visited Pegasus Bridge on the way to the Hotel. The hotel sits right behind Sword beach and is an easy drive down the coast road (D514) to the other beaches/attractions. There is a supermarket, petrol station, restaurant and Patisserie all close by.

“Good value for money”

We arrived late but explicit instructions were left for us (in English at a French Hotel). The rooms were clean, comfortable and had all necessary facilities. Breakfast was adequate and the proprietor helpful and attentive. We would go back quite happily. Recommended for late arrivals or early departures on the Ouistreham ferry. Good value for money

“Great location for road trips”

We used this hotel as our "hub" for driving to the D-Day landing beaches of Normandy. It was easy to find and was close to area shops, cafes, and restaurants. Breakfast was very basic...we opted to use our GPS to find the nearest fast food for b-fast, since crossaints and yogurt don't typically fill us up! The only inconvenience was that our room was in the other building across the street and parking was a bit tight, since it looked like a residential driveway. Also, our room was at the 3rd floor with staris...we were basically in a remodeled dormered attic space....which was very nice except for the slated ceiling, which got in the way sometimes. The room was still nice, comfortable, and the bathroom was decent sized with a full sized tub. It was exceptionally cleaned each day over our 4 day stay. The location was also in walking distance to the beach...less than 5 minutes. In all, we were pleased and would stay again for the reasonable price.

“Liittle nicest hotel in the coast”

Clean, with a big room and huge bahroom. Internert access ok at the lobby

“Decent hotel for the price.”

Not a bad hotel for the price. Breakfast is NOT included in the price. Staff was friendly enough and will accommodate you if you are going to arrive late.

“You get what you pay for”

Hotel is cheap, but clean and reasonably comfortable. The price appears to be low however as the costs are kept to minimum by reducing service to an absolute minimum. You have to balance price against servce. May not suit all, but experience might have been very different had we arrived befoer 8pm and been able to stay for breakfast.

“You get what you paid for!”

This hotel is in a perfect spot for all the Normandy landing beach history sites.Pegusis bridge is an 8 minute drive away. Caen is well worth looking at too, as this was the birth place of William the Conqueror.You must have a car to stay here as it is the middle of no where with no near by restaurants that can be reached on foot. The ones in near by Ouistrum are worth the drive though. The owners speak very good English. This hotel is a 2 star so you just have to put up with the small room and worn out mattress. Don't let this put you off though as the location is so good. We also found it easy to explore near by Pont de L'eveque(where the cheese comes from) as well St Pierre sur Lire which had wonderful market on a Monday which once a month is an antique one. The architecture of the region boasts beautiful medieval houses which are well worth a look. I would go back to Normandy tomorrow but next time stay in a higher grade hotel

“Clean hotel but lots of noise”

Very clean hotel on four floors. Beware no lift just steep stairs! Noise from the street is a major problem for this hotel which is in a lively pedestrian area. Did not calm down until about 3 am when we stayed. Rooms also not that well sound proofed so noise from other residents is also an issue. Did not like being asked to pay for the room on arrival. Breakfast very poor value.

“Unusual reception arrangement”

Hotel easy to find from Ouistreham ferry port. Main problem is that reception closes at 8.00 p.m. If you arrive after that the proprietor will leave a message on the door telling you which room to go to. The room was fine but the unusual arrangement does mean that any problem would obviously be difficult to resolve!
