Exceptionally quiet

This cozy little hotel is in a great location right next to the promenade. I slept well. It is exceptionally soundproof. I have never seen such heavy, tightly fitted doors. The bed was comfortable. The staff were very friendly and helpful. The only downside was mold in the bathroom. And my room had no bathtub. Just a shower.

Upon arrival at the hotel we were told that Expedia was trying to reach us however we did not receive an email or voicemail. The hotel said they were calling because the large room with a balcony that we reserved had an issue with the plumbing and they could not put us in this room and needed to downgrade us to a smaller room without a balcony. We had no choice in the matter. I found it strange that Expedia was trying to call us when it was an hotel issue. The hotel said they would give us a free breakfast for the inconvenience but that I had to call Expedia to get a credit on the downsizing. When back in the states, I emailed Expedia asking for a credit for the difference in the rooms, which is what I was instructed to do by the hotel, but Expedia explained they cannot do this, rather their process is to contact the hotel and see if the hotel would be willing to give us a credit. After some back-and-forth and waiting a couple days, the outcome per Expedia was that the hotel denied any credit to us. So basically the hotel lied to us and blew us off by telling us to deal with the fact that we paid for an expensive room but didn’t get it after we had already left the country. Pretty low of them to do.

The staff at this hotel are amazing. I had an incident during my visit to Etretat and the desk team went above and beyond to help me through it. I want to thank them for all of their help and kindness. Everyone was so kind and helpful. The property is perfectly located on the ocean front. We ate at the restaurant several times and the food was fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel while visiting the area.

Comfy and great views!

Friendly and quick check in, comfy bed, nice upgrade to sea view as we visited in off season. Appreciated the jetted tub and robes. Room was cozy and warm. The bar is a bit expensive but I guess it comes with the location.

Sea front faded but expensive hotel

Étretat is a pleasant seaside resort with pebble beach and stunning white cliffs The hotel is right on the front but you pay premium prices for this convenience.in my opinion there are better value hotels just behind the sea front. Even the up market Dormy House Hotel has cheaper rooms than Rayon Vert. Our room, 27 was approached by steep spiral staircases to the second floor overlooking the town. - no lift. Very basic but acceptable small room No lounge space and a very modest breakfast at €14 - better value in town. Parking is available close by but difficult to find at busy times(as with most seaside resorts) particularly weekends. Some good restaurants close by. We like Le Galion

Picked a busy weekend

Unfortunately we picked a very busy weekend and traffic was blocked off to the hotel. We luckily had a local assist us to get into the village. Once there the check in was smooth and we had a room on the top floor. No elevator so it was an interesting trek up the spiral staircase. The reward was the view. The room was good and the bathroom looked recently renovated. Overall it was good, car parking is in the street though.

A Warm Welcome and a Great Location

Cosy little hotel, right on the sea front. Fabulous sea view from our bedroom, plus a small balcony which we sat out on even though the weather was terrible. Decent bathroom with rather impressive bubble making device too. The hotel was 2 minutes walk from the bus stop and easy to find. It’s situated right by the beach and a couple of minutes from the famous cliffs on each side. Near a load of great cafes and restaurants. Most of all, the service was excellent. Couldn’t recommend it more!

Perfect location!

You could walk out the front door and be on the beach. The beach itself was pebbles, but the white cliffs on either side were gorgeous. And the walkway along the beach was lovely for a stroll. Our room had an awesome Jacuzzi bathtub. No shower unfortunately, but the tub was so fun that it didn't matter.

Old hotel overlooking the sea

Location is lovely and easy to park and get around city. Hotel is old and has a lot of wear and tear but the staff is friendly and helpful . No elevator and very narrow, old steps to get up to room which can be difficult with luggage that we did not want to leave in the car after we parked.

Position and character

Helpful staff, great location next to Esplanade and beach. Classic quaint guest rooms- beware, the cheapest rooms are on the highest floor, overlooking the village- so the more you pay, the less climbing you will need to do with your luggage (no lift).
