“Great stay in Honfleur”
This is an excellent small hotel, full of period character and very well located in the old town. All the staff were wonderful, in particular Vincent provided a consigerge service more like a 5☆ Hotel, booking restaurants during a very busy national holiday weekend and offering great advice. Their off street parking is excellent and a must book if you are going by car. Their breakfast room is delightful, sunny and airy and the service and preorddering worked well.

The location was excellent for all the facilities in Honfleur. The "staff" were extremely helpful for an older couple such as us. The breakfast was also excellent and just the sort of thing we wanted.

“Comfortable, centrally located hotel”
Beautiful, clean room, very pet-friendly hotel and city, the staff were all very nice. The location for the hotel was perfect, very centrally located, our room looked out onto the canal. The covered parking wasn't far, and they made great recommendations for restaurants and sites to see in Honfleur.
