Not as good as others say

Not a good experience. Lots of attitude at the front desk. Asked to use a seperate card to pay - this I was told was ok. But when I went to pay was told it was already taken from wrong account. No resolution available. Front desk changed when they realized I booked with hotels.com/expedia. Also I asked for another pillow - it never areived

Our view from our window was straight onto the balcony of another room. People were on their balcony and looked straight into our window ( we didn't have a balcony). There was supposed to be tea/coffee facilities but we were there 2 nights and nothing was replaced for the second night. The paper cups we're taken so we had to ask for more cups. We also asked for more water for our kettle (advertised as complimentary) but were charged for it on our bill. The lady said we had a larger bottle so we had to pay for it. We weren't told that when we asked for the water! We didn't use one of the hand towels, but it was taken the next morning! The used towels weren't replaced so I don't know why the unused towel was taken away.

Fantastic hotel, right on a lovely beach. We stayed in the comfort family room which was so well appointed with everything we needed. Staff were lovely and the Town centre (5 mins walk) is charming. Heated pool and off street parking were an added bonus. Can't wait to return.

Ask for hotel rooms not chalet

Nice Hotel In very good decorative order, very good breakfast and friendly staff, we were able to park the motorcycle in their garage. However we were not put in the main hotel, but in a chalet out the back of the hotel that just overlooked the back of the hotel and exterior staircase. If we had been in the hotel we may have stayed longer. It’s an easy walk into the town, where there were several places to eat and drink.

Les Dunes ..... lovely

Lovely hotel. Great setting. Very near to the town centre with lots of choice for food and drink. We had a chance to walk round the Saturday market before we left and the range of stallls and quality of produce was excellent. We will definitely try and revisit and spend longer than the one night next time.

Would recommend this hotel to anyone.

We went for the basic room so it was smallish but quite adequate for our needs. The hotel was spotlessly clean and the staff were charming and very helpful. Although the swimming pool was across the road my wife assures me that it was great and the road was very quite, so not much of a problem. The free car park was opposite the hotel and lead you down onto the beach. It is only a short walk to the town centre, where there are restaurants to suit most tastes.

Friendly, clean and right by the beach

The hotel was reasonably priced and it is seconds from the beach. The hotel also has its own pool (opposite the hotel - just across the road). It only takes a couple of minutes to stroll into the centre of La Tranche from the hotel, so it's super-convenient for restaurants, bars and the market. The staff were courteous and the room was cleaned to a high standard each day. We'll definitely return!
