Provider-sourced guest reviews.
Hospitable staff; nothing was too much trouble. Great location. Good breakfast. Comfortable room.
It was quirky but spotlessly clean
The three flights of stairs to our room
Location was near the pier great area very clean breakfast and staff were amazing
Ontbijt was goed. Je kon parkeren bij het hotel.
Hotel was erg gehorig. Snachts hoorde we mensen die gemeenschap hadden. Zouden kamer op tuinzicht hebben, daar was alleen een muur. Kamer was erg warm, raam kon maar op een kiertje open.
Very large room even a jacuzzi in corner of room bed was very comfy slept well room was clean .Staff very happy and helpful . Location was perfect for us and was attending a wedding doo 5 minutes drive away. Would stay again breakfast was yummy aswell
Only slight gripe would of loved a small freezer in room and keys to get into room needed a knack in getting door open and locked
Proximity plus fantastic breakfasts choices.
Our room was a little dark but fine once lights on.
Lovely room - Gleeful . Manager very helpful and efficient for breakfast and check in
I didn’t get the chance to mention there is a fan type noise in bathroom that needs to be switched off or timer reset.
The staff were wonderful, the food was nice and made to order, and the location meant you were practically on the waterfront.
The space where the toilet sits is extremely cramped, which I imagine is difficult for many folk. The front door key also didn't work for me.
The staff are great and the breakfast is excellent. Bed was comfortable.
Our room (top floor) was in need of a good makeover, very tatty and tired. The shower was difficult to adjust between too hot and cold and light in the area of the basin was too poor to shave. We have stayed previously and had rooms in much better condition.
Nice staff, breakfast, interesting interior, comfortable bed
Shower is bit slow
The staff are very friendly and helpful. It’s in a very good position for the purpose of our stay.
We’ve been staying at the hotel once a year, over a period of 4 years and some of the facilities in the room are looking a little tired and some were simply broken - in our room both bedside table lamps were working but the fittings holding the base to the bulb holder were broken.
Staff
No hair dryer, heard upstairs shower rumbling, noisey banging doors, bed mattress was awful, dirty, duvet cover ripped, dirty shower screen and seal was hanging off!
The room was pristine, the welcome very friendly. The receptionist was super helpful and always smiling. Bed was comfortable, shower hot and the room was big, not much more I could ask for! The breakfast had everything you needed and served promptly, I enjoyed my stay very much!
The WiFi on the top floor can be a bit temperamental
The staff and the breakfast was exceptional
Broken window handles. Vegetation covering all of the window made it harder to secure (rear of ground floor). There is no way that the owner(s) would not know as the window wasn't secure when we arrived with handles hanging oddly. However, we eventually got one of the two secure and didn't spoil our stay.
This is a nice boutique hotel. My room was nice, although not much of a view but that didn't matter. The hotel is very close to the front. The staff were very helpful and the breakfast was excellent. It was ideal.
Bolo to výborné ubytovanie.
Všetko bolo v poriadku.velmi
Location was good
Could do with updating freshening up breakfast was good
Staff polite and friendly
The bed was not comfortable. No sockets to use by bed. No power in shower. Lack of information in regards to facilities within hotel.
Perfect location, very near to restaurants and the sea front. Rooms were clean and spacious.
Being on the top floor and in need of some form of modernisation.
The hotel is well situated for walks along the front, with some great restaurants in easy reach. The staff are wonderful and friendly. The breakfast options are great, and the rooms are spacious and clean.
The shower temperature was a little hit and miss, but the bath and jacuzzi were great.
Friendly staff, good breakfast, plenty of plug sockets, very comfortable bed
Lack of furniture to put clothes, no fridge in room, kept banging our heads on the slanted ceiling because we were on the top floor. Light switches did not work in tandem - 2 light switches but you could only switch off on the one you switched in on with!
Super Lage, sehr freundliche Mitarbeiter, sehr gutes Frühstück, Kostenloser Parkplatz…
Chambre propre et spacieuse Personnel très agréable Petit déjeuner copieux Nous voyagions en vélo, l’hôtel dispose d’un petit jardin où nous avons pu poser nos vélo en sécurité
Quirky decor, variety of pillows. Excellent breakfast. Good location. Responsive to queries before booking
View from room was poor (a fence)
Friendly service, excellent room, easy access
Breakfast okay but no fruit salad or yogurt.
Sehr nettes Personal und die Lage
Sauberkeit mangelhaft
3rd time of staying at this hotel, very clean, comfortable, staff fabulous, great breakfast, close to all amenities, everything you could wish for, lovely walks up and down the promenade, we'll be back x oh, we once again stayed in the Glamorous room x
Maybe needed a lick of paint in a few places, the bath panel needed changing, but otherwise yes, very very good x
Nothing
Very dirty in clean
Breakfast was absolutely great!! 5 star
Відмінне розташування ! Поруч озеро та морська набережна !
Шумоізоляція
Good location but in need of an update and paint
The property needs a good update or paint in order to call it a boutique hotel
great size room breakfast goodie bag provided as we had to leave early
Sehr gutes Frühstück, sehr freundliche Bedienung. Parkplätze
Zimmer klein und wenig Platz zum Koffer abstellen
Breakfast was very well done. Selection of cooked breakfast, not just cereal and muffins. Staff was wonderful
Bed was not very comfortable.
Big room and great spa bath! Breakfast staff were friendly and helpful. Handy to esplanade and walking routes.
Pequeno almoço
Palavras para descrever vejam as fotografias.
It was very clean and staff were very friendly and helpful
Nothing really we had a lovely couple of days
Location
Shower was in the bath and you could not use it, could not divert water to shower head.
The most uncomfortable bed I’ve ever slept on. Very outdated hotel, mirror hanging off wall, cheap horrible furniture, shower falls off when try and use it. Really not worth the money at all
The breakfast was fantastic and the staff was very welcoming!
NA
Friendly staff. Jacuzzi in room. Spacious room and private bathroom. Tea, coffee, tv etc. superb breakfast.
I think I got a bargain with a last minute booking. Limited parking but available on the street.
Great decor, excellent polite staff and freshly cooked breakfast. Top marks
I had to park on the street but it was ok as i left early
Friendly staff,good food including choice. Excellent location. Will definitely be visiting again.
Position of bedroom wasn't the best. Outside view was a large garden fence and wasn't in direction of sunlight! Without artificial light room was quite dark! Bathroom was very big however shower screen didn't seal so water went everywhere!
Staff were excellent the location to the seafront and the breakfast.
Limited parking and cellar bar lacked atmosphere.
Everything. From the moment we arrived we were made to feel so welcome. The photos on the website do not do this place justice. Breakfast was superb and cooked to perfection. 10/10

Breakfast was lovely and the room reasonably comfortable. Plenty of hot water. Good location for the festival. Young lady at reception and breakfast tried her best to be helpful.
Arrived at 12 (2 hours before check in) to see if we could leave our bags to go to the festival. Door wide open, laundry all over the entrance and no one there despite waiting and ringing for over 10 minutes. Another gent also waiting to speak to someone.Did not feel like returning to be honest. Went back later to be told there was no parking as some permits had run out. It was suggested we take it to one of the car parks. I reminded the young lady that free parking was included and it was not our fault they had allowed permits to run out. I asked if I would be reimbursed for any parking costs and it was then she rang someone. She then produced a piece of paper to put in my car so that if anyone queried my parking, it stated to refer to the hotel. We were shown to our room which was tired but reasonably clean and comfortable. It seems the owners/managers need to be more organised and ensure someone is always there to help
Bedroom was large & loved the jacuzzi bath. Staff couldn't be more helpful & friendly. Breakfast was great.
Good size room, comfortable bed, great location
Breakfast and coffee quality was ok
The staff are excellent, good location , breakfast was very good, nice quirkiness about the hotel.
The shower was only just about passable, the pressure was average at best and temperature fluctuated from time to time . However it was not poor enough to put me off using the hotel again.
Good size room, great breakfast
Temperature control on shower hard to set
Helpful support although getting response at reception was slow.
Follow-up after leaving behind one of our personal items was very poor. After an initial positive response, phone calls were not taken and there was no reply to emails following the first confirmation that the items had been found.
Location excellent for beach/pier, good public transport connection. Room bright and clean. Staff helpful and pleasant.
Clean,location,better than expected breakfast
Nothin really
Staff were very nice and accommodating. Breakfast was included (which I didn’t realize) and was great and very presentable.
Very welcoming. Good location. Facilities, breakfast etc all very good.
Very welcoming

Staff were friendly and helpful. Breakfast was great.
Clean, with a friendly staff that will go out of their way to help you.

Parking near to center and beach
Lots of stairs
Petit hôtel modeste non loin du front de mer (et du Pier) à la déco un peu atypique (pourquoi ce nom "G" ?) pas mal placé (10 mn si pas trop de circulation) pour reprendre le lendemain le ferry pour la France. Stationnement gratuit dans la rue (pancarte à demander à l'accueil, à mettre derrière le parebrise) Chambre et salle de bain (baignoire) simples, propres. Bon petit-déjeuner buffet (produits industriels) et plat à la demande.
Lovely place Really pleasant staff. Good location. Thank you.
Au calme dans un quartier résidentiel. Même si nous n’avons pu occuper une des 5 places de parking comme nous ne restions qu’1 nuit le parking était gratuit jusqu’a 11h (sinon demander un pass à la.accueil). L’hôtesse était adorable à notre arrivée, bonne communication. La douche était très bien et les lits confortables.Le petit-déjeuner était très bien. Les commerces et restaurants sont à 5 mn à pied (par contre nous n’avons pu trouver un restaurant qui servait encore après 21h !).

Nice Location and the lady on reception was very nice. The breakfast was excellent and the room was quiet and airy. Room was certainly and 'interesting' style.
Slightly tired in places, but nothing to take away the satisfaction.
It’s stylish, convenient and staff are lovely & welcoming.
Can say anything bad
Spacious bedroom and a good bathroom. Large and comfy bed. Full English breakfast + some fruits and continental foods (breakfast ingredients not the top quality, however, a decent choice, I should not complain). Clean. Yes, I would stay here again. Very close to the beach and the lake. As for summer, very reasonably priced.
The street was a bit noisy till late, however, it was due to people coming back from evening barbeques by the lake.
Breakfast was plenty to choose from, cereals, fruit, toast as well as good selection from the cooked breakfast menu. Room was clean, shower worked well. Overall very pleased with accommodation close to the boating lake. Nice friendly welcome on arrival A plus point is parking on premises, as well as bus stops nearby
😊all was perfect
Fab
Everything - loved that the rooms were all starting with G
The room was very clean and well appointed. I loved the big windows. They were open when we arrived, and we just left them open all night. No bug issues at all. Loved that. The bathroom was small, but functional. We really enjoyed the breakfast in the morning. The staff really seemed to go all out, and were very accommodating.
Not a fan of the stairs. Fortunately we could get help lugging bags up the stairs, but a lift would have been great. I didn't remember reading that there wasn't one, but I could have missed it. It was still a great stay.
Close to the beach if you drive
The bed was bad
Didn't get offered fried bread as on the breakfast menu and also never got any mushrooms
The bed was massive and so comfortable. The feel of the sheets and the pillows made such an impression. The breakfast was lovely Room had a great outlook and was spacious Having no real parking concerns was nice looked like heaps of free parking on the road also with permit
Stairs were a hassle to drag suit cases up. But at least we were on the 2nd floor
I liked the big room and the bed was comfy
Was not very clean alot of dust everywhere bath spa was small and warn out not very relaxing as I hoped the breckfast was grose had bad tummy all day no actual TV remote had to be done by phone was very annoying will not be returning!!!!
Das Frühstück war außergewöhnlich gut.Es gab ausreichend Parkplätze in der Straße. Hierfür gab es eine kostenfreie Parkgehnehmigung
Das Bett war viel zu weich.
Accueil au top Petit déjeuner excellent Bon emplacement

Gute Lage, sehr freundliches Personal
Bett war durchgelegen und es gab einen schutzauflge auf der Matratze, die dafür gesorgt hat,dass man furchtbar schwitzte. Zum Glück gab es keine 30Grad in der Stadt. Der kleine Stand-Ventilator im Raum hätte das Problem nicht gelöst. Kopfkissen waren Schaumstoff gefüllt und sehr unbequem. Konnten wegen früher Fähre kein Frühstück wahrnehmen, dafür gab es keinen Nachlass. Hatten uns etwas mehr abgerechnet als booking com vorgesehen. Ist meinem Mann aber nicht aufgefallen, weil nicht er gebucht hatte.
Vicinanza al mare
Stanza piccola e strutturata male, camera al secondo piano.
The breakfast was marvellous
All good
beautiful room lively view
Nothing was great
La possibilité de se garer facilement avec un permis de résident donné par l'hôtel. L'emplacement proche de la promenade du front de mer. Bon petit-déjeuner Personnel sympathique Présence de ventilateur
Chambre un peu petite et assez chaude du aux conditions climatiques et chambre au dernier étage avec escalier étroit avec des bagages. Matelas un peu mous.
Room was clean, staff were friendly and accommodating. Breakfast was really good
Says room has garden or lake view, it didn't, view was a roof. Booked 'superior' room but it was quite basic. Table had peeling covering.
Every thing
Nothing
Ein sehr schönes individuell eingerichtetes Boutiquehotel in Laufnähe zum Strand, kostenlosem Parkplatz und einer Bushaltestelle ins Zentrum direkt vor der Tür. Das Personal war sehr freundlich und hilfsbereit. Wir kommen gerne wieder.
Nichts
sehr saubere Zimmer, sehr nettes Personal.
Das Frühstück war nicht optimal. Am Morgen war der Herd und der Backofen ausgefallen, daher wurde nur ein eingeschränktes, englisches Frühstück serviert.
Spacious clean room, great breakfast, lovely staff and great value
Nothing
We loved that it was so close to the beach and the museum. The breakfast was delicious
There wasn't anything not to like
Camera spaziosa e arredata con gusto. Bagno molto grande dotato di doccia doppia e Jacuzzi. La disponibilità di parcheggio
Le scale senza assistenza per bagagli
Excellent accueil, très aimable et souriant. Mise à disposition d'un permis pour pouvoir stationner dans la rue devant l'hôtel. Chambre et salle d'eau propres. Petit-déjeuner satisfaisant.
Matelas beaucoup trop mou qui devrait être changé.
Struttura graziosa in una zona residenziale molto tranquilla vicino al lungomare e al D-Day Museum. Disponibilità di posto auto davanti all' ingresso o di pass per parcheggiare sulla via che è riservata ai residenti. All' accoglienza una ragazza sorridente e cordiale, pronta a fornire informazioni per il soggiorno. Stanza luminosa ma di piccole dimensioni. Disponibile un ventilatore in camera. Colazione in parte a buffet e in parte alla carta. Possibilità di scegliere il piatto di breakfast inglese in due taglie, small e full. Cereali e frutta fresca ma niente yogurt, solo in versione da bere.
Letto scomodo e di piccole dimensioni. Stanza poco areata in giorni purtroppo troppo caldi. Gli odori provenienti dalla cucina per la colazione salivano fino alla stanza al secondo piano senza ascensore. La doccetta perdeva quindi per evitare il rumore l'abbiamo poggiata sul fondo della vasca. Davvero povera la scelta dolce per la colazione, si può migliorare. Segnale wifi molto basso.
Bus naar centrum stop vlak bij hotel Diverse lekkere restaurants en pubs I n de omgeving Goed ontbijt
Hygiëne kan beter Kok was onvriendelijk tegen personeel dat brandwond opliep bij gevallen blad met hete thee
The staff were very pleasant and helpful. An excellent breakfast
Room lacked attention to detail - broken lamp, marks on the wall.
Personnel charmant et très bon accueil. Petit déjeuner excellent ! La décoration de l'hébergement est pittoresque, un mélange de pleins de choses mais j'ai bien aimé !
Beau, calme, proche parc Personnel accueillant Bon petit déjeuner
Lady that welcomed us on arrival was so polite and lovely! Bed was comfy spacious room. Permit was given for parking too very helpful.breakfast was lovely
The jacuzzi bath was leaking and when water touched the touchscreen buttons it had a funny 5 minute and water was spraying everywhere. Had to use towels to clean up receptionist said leave it till morning. Bath took a very long time to fill up even staff member tried to help. Internet connection was shocking so the roku controller i had to download to use the tv in the room wouldn’t connect. 11:45pm we managed to get it working man on desk helped for a long time he couldn’t do it either. Room was extremely hot(can’t be helped) but so hot was hard to sleep. When we had issues in the late evening the desk was unattended for well over 35 mins. No staff to be found. He helped on his return. Dirty sheets. And very dusty. None stop sneezing.
It was in a great place
Nothing really.
Friendly and helpful staff. Good breakfast and great value overall. Parking permit was an added bonus.
A little tired in places but clean and comfortable nonetheless
Le personnel. Le petit déjeuner. L'environnement. L'arrêt de bus.
Really friendly, clean and great location.
