Everything about this hotel was perfect. The staff was so accomodating and let me check in upon arrival, which was clutch since I took a red eye in that morning. The room was good size and clean. The room had AC but it also had a window that opened easily. I preferred the fresh air and only used the AC at night. Fasntastic location, a few minute walk to the beach. I’ll caveat that I wasn’t a huge fan of the breakfast. I paid for it the first day but ate in town the subsequent days.

Breakfast was lovely and plentiful with freshly-squeezed orange juice. Room was very comfortable - we had asked for room on a low floor, which we got. All staff were friendly and helpful. The hotel is just a short walk from the very sandy beach and the bay surfers enjoy. It's also a couple of hundred yards from the town centre, a nightclub and post office. We ate each evening at the Bistrot Angeluan at the end of nearby Rue de la Bergerie. The staff there were very friendly and helpful - especially Josephine who speaks excellent English which she self-taught.

Very friendly helpful staff. Easy parking. Very centrally located. We liked the choice of not having the room serviced for one night and having a free drink at the bar instead.

Stylish reception, bar and breakfast area did not compensate for miniscule room provided. Less than 25cm gap at foot and side of bed meant I hit my head on the wall mounted TV twice and bashed my shins on the bed frame. No room for chair, desk or other room amenities shown in website photos - avoid room 404 - far too small for two adults.
