Great stay. Victor was a fantastic help with checking in, meeting us at our car to grab our bags and directing us to their private parking. He also secured a dinner reservation at a great restaurant next door. One of the best dinners we had on our French vacation.

Cosy and central

Absolutely amazing stay. The location could not be better right in the centre of the old town area. The surrounding area had endless shops, cafes and restaurants in amazingly picturesque buildings. Victor could not do enough to ensure our stay was special. We had breakfast at the hotel and it was beautiful fresh local produce and bakery items. Victor also suggested some places for dinner and we were amazed at the quality of the food and the very reasonable prices at all of them. We would love to come again.

Hotel was easy to find and is in a very central location. Private parking was just a short walk away. Upon check in with Victor who is really friendly, we were shown to our ground floor room which was charming and spacious. The bathroom was huge and really well equipped with bath and walk-in shower, plenty of towels and a modern decor. Victor suggested we dine at the restaurant L’Escale situated right next door which turned out to be an excellent choice and great atmosphere. Food was superb and our server was very attentive. I would definitely stay at l’Absinthe again when I visit the vibrant town of Honfleur as I could find no fault with the hotel, location and service.

A wonderful visit!

Our stay at L’Absinthe Hotel was wonderful. The location in the heart of Honfleur harbor with dozens of smart cafés, restaurants and boutiques cannot be matched. The hotel itself is incredibly charming and comfortable. The owner, Victor, as well as the rest of the staff were very warm and welcoming. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Disappointed

We did not understand that the room we were allocated would not be part of the main hotel. Parking was far away and getting our bags to the room was quite difficult. That night directly below our room, room 9 was a party going on in an open roofed area with a large getto blaster. We did not get to sleep until midnight. Breakfast the following morning was disappointing for 15 euros.
