Nice hotel in good location close to the train station. Really nice staff, good room & nicely prepared things for family traveling with a baby. Downstairs restaurant was not that good though, and hotel is not accessible (a lot of stairs at the entrance), otherwise a great stay!

The hotel had all of the required amenities: the rooms were small but renovated to a modern standard, the breakfast was more than adequate, and the lounge was a nice touch for meeting and socializing. I like using stairs when possible and I found them somewhat dirty at times. Overall, it was a pleasant stay.

A decent hotel, though rather run down. However, it does NOT have air conditioning. And the temperatures in July in Lisieux were sweltering. Would never have booked this if I have known it did not have air conditioning. Room was also expensive for the quality of it…

We were travelling on Motorcycles, the secure parking is excellent. The rooms are great. The breakfast selection very good. The rooms, however, have not got air con. The temp on the day we arrived was in high 20’s possible up to 30* if the window opened biting midges/gnats came in straight away. So a little uncomfortable in high heat. No drink! Not a bottle if water nir coffee making facilities provided?

We did not have a good experience from check-in (room not ready), to when we wanted to have dinner at the restaurant (no space available) and finally when we wanted to sleep, unable due to the noise from neighbours. Definitely not soundproof rooms. Our duvet had velcro in the middle to link 2 single duvets together.
