It was our first time at the Grand Hotel. We stayed at the hotel on our way to catch the ferry from Caen to the UK. The location is very peaceful next to the Solesmes Abbey. The staff were very friendly and helpful and the restaurant was of a high quality. Our superior room had a balcony and air con and was spacious. Our little border terrier, Lola, was made very welcome and we found a lovely walk next to the river behind the Abbey. We will definitely come back.

Hotel was clean and comfortable and the food in the restaurant was exceptional. However the hotel was just too hot. The air conditioning in the restaurant was barly functioning and there was no A.C. in the room - other than an electric fan. Using the booking 'filter' I requested a hotel with A.C in the room.

Beautiful hotel, picturesque location

A beautiful hotel in a very picturesque town. We arrived quite late and they managed to squeeze us in to the restaurant for an excellent meal (for example there were 19 cheeses to choose from on the cheeseboard). Only issue was that it was a hot night and there is no air con, which would have been nice but not essential as we were able to leave the balcony window open. A lot of attention to detail otherwise.

Rather disappointing no air conditioning in the hotel, which is quite uncomfortable mid summer, and it's noisy with the church bells ringing at night, very basic room considering it was a superior room, need of some upgrades

Charming family run hotel

We thoroughly enjoyed our stay here and found everything so beautifully done. There is a good choice of bedrooms; we enjoyed a drink in the lovely garden and were looking after so well. Dinner was excellent. We will certainly return here.

Great hotel and superb meal

We had a great time at the Grand Hotel. We treated ourselves to dinner in their restaurant and it was an incredible meal, everything was perfect. It was also directly across the street from the Abbaye de Solesmes which was a wonderful visit.

Relaxation!

We stayed here about 8 years ago and were impressed, the rturn visit easily exceeded our expectations. A quiet hotel in a small French village, acrossthe road from a monastery with regular public services in Gregorian Chant. Magnificent food with a reasonable wine list, excellent air conditioned bedrooms with very efficient room service. This is a family run hotel and it shows in the service which was better than in many higher class establishments. We will return!

THe staff was so helpful and courteous even though we were not fluent in French

The dinners were outstanding and well worth the price and time spent! The staff were always helpful. The location was the best for us since we wanted to go to the Abby across the street which was the purpose of our trip there. We also used the hotel as a base to go to surrounding cities we wanted to see and then returned to a great meal and evening.
