Good, all round.

Could do with a signpost at the roundabout in town. Otherwise easy to find. Car park a little tight so often have to park outside, but pleanty of space. The reception is very good, friendly, and many have good English !! ( which they want to practice ). Room very standard, with a great view of the mud flats at low tide (sea view ) very clean & comfortable. Bar and restaurant staff accomodating & helpful. Canape with first drink from the bar ... a nice touch.

Pleasant hotel with very agreeable staff

HOTEL: Good free secure parking, although gates are closed at about 10pm. Staff very friendly and accommodating. ROOM: We had one of the small apartment rooms in the grounds, smallish, with TV and shower room. No air-con could be a problem when very hot, only one window in the room that was in the shower room/toilet otherwise you have to open patio doors. Room cleaned and tidied every day. RESTAURANT: Mostly seafood as you would expect on d'Oleron but meat choices were very limited, a problem if you want to eat in every night. Inside and outside dining (dogs allowed inside as well) what out for the veracious gnats and mosquitos though.

Pleasant stay

Hotel was very good with pleasant and attentive staff. Beautiful view from room. Bathroom a little cramped but adquate. Shower curtain a nuisance. Decent breakfast in pleasant dining room. First time in Isle D'Oleron. Would definitely return and stay at the same hotel and would recommend to friends. Nice pool although weather prevented us from using. Hotel in easy walking distance from all amenities in resort.

Grosse déception

TrĂšs mauvais rapport qualitĂ© prix : la chambre et les prestations ne valent pas plus de 70 €, soit la moitiĂ© de ce que nous avons payĂ© ! Entre la taille de la chambre et de la salle de bains, la literie Ă  peine correcte (le matelas penche, l'alĂšse fait transpirer, pas de lit en 160), la dĂ©co des annĂ©es 70 (crĂ©pi blanc façon Pierre et Vacances au mur),le lino de la salle de bains qui fait des vagues, l'aspect extĂ©rieur qui laisse Ă  dĂ©sirer (bĂąche au dessus de la terrasse pleine de traces, murs sales), cet hĂŽtel mĂ©rite-t-il toujours ses 3 Ă©toiles ??? Seuls points positifs : la gentillesse et la disponibilitĂ© du personnel, et l'amĂ©nagement de la piscine. J'ajoute qu'il ne faut pas se fier Ă  l'appellation hĂŽtel-restaurant, car il n'y a plus de restauration, exceptĂ©e la possibilitĂ© de commander des plats rĂ©chauffĂ©s, au choix des pĂątes, des pĂątes ou... des pĂątes !
