3 day coast trip

For a trip in high season, booked the last minute, it was ok considering we had a standard room with a very small shower room and a minute wc room, no shelves or wardrobe to put anything away. The staff was pleasant. The wi-fi was totally useless. Plenty of restaurants to choose from, a grocery just across the street, parking at the back of the hotel, the beach at 5 min walk. We would go back there but not in a standard room for sure, it would have to be a comfort room or better.

Central hotel within walking distance to the beach

The hotel was centrally situated and within walking distance to the beach. The room was comfortable and adequately furnished. It met our needs for our short 3 nights stay. The staff on duty were very helpful, however, we felt they were understaffed at times and could have benefitted from more help.

Agréable séjour à l'Hôtel de le Mer

J'étais réticente après avoir lu certains avis. Mais j'ai été agréablement surprise : rien à redire aussi bien accueil que prestation. Tout était parfait. N'étant restée que 2 nuits, je n'ai pas eu le temps de profiter de la piscine qui est un plus. Etant en famille séjournant au camping juste en face, la situation de l'hôtel était un avantage. Je reviendrai volontiers !!!

Très decevant

Le 1er soir une odeur de puanteur dans notre chambre.Problème connu mais a priori la direction s'en fiche. On nous a reloger dans une autre chambre, mais franchement le soin apporter aux chambres est inexistant.

Déçu par cet hôtel ! Il a été refait parait-il en 2021 mais depuis il n'y pas eu beaucoup d'entretien intérieur et extérieur. De plus bruit de la ventilation de la Salle de douche qui résonne en bruit de casserole dans la chambre, lit très très moyen, il y aurait tellement à dire ... Dommage !
