Camembert Chalets

"We had a very good 2 night stay at Le Grand Hôtel de l'Espérance in Lisieux. The room was basic but very clean and practical. They still provided a kettle and tea and coffee. A mini fridge would have been nice though. The bathroom had shower only but it had a good amount of storage space. We had one dinner in their restaurant which was good and good value for money. The service was good and efficient, even though the restaurant was full and only one person serving. The breakfast was excellent. They had 2 Camembert style cheeses, Emmental, spicy sausages as the hot option, hard boiled eggs, good quality cold cooked ham, good grilled ham, yoghurt, croissants, 2 types of homemade cake, fruit salad, and one of the best apple pies we have ever eaten. The selection was constantly replenished. The people at the reception very friendly and professional. If we were to visit Lisieux again, we would stay there again."

"A good cheap place to stop over at"

"Bonjour, Seul bémol, la moquette dans la chambre et la salle de restauration par endroit. Sinon personnel très sympathique et souriant. "

"Lovely place to stay - clean, comfortable and quiet. A short walk from the town centre. Nice swimming pool which can be booked for private use. Would definitely recommend."

"Check in was easy and fast. Hotel was spotless and brightly lit. Very colourful interior. Rooms while small felt spacious. Shopping just across the road. Lots of places to eat within walking distance. Breakfast was good. Budget price but got so much more. Fantastic hotel. Will definitely recommend this hotel "

"Right in the centre of town. Bars restaurants and shops right on the doorstep. The property is tired and dated, but the bed was comfortable and clean as was the bathroom."

"Séjour très agréable. L’hôtel est confortable et le personnel très accueillant. Nous avons aussi apprécié que les animaux de compagnie soient les bienvenus."

"Stayed for a solo St Therese pilgrimage. Centrally located hotel near many shops and restaurants and 15 minute walk from train station. It's next door to Cathedral of St Pierre and a 10-15 minute walk from the Carmel of Lisieux, the Basilica of St. Therese, and Les Buissonets (all in different directions). Nice breakfast and friendly staff."

"The gym was dated and subpar"
