Pleasant

  : The hotel was central
  : The hotel, because it was winter was only running at minimum interest. The hotel was just passable, the room was tiny and the duvet boiling hot. It's time for the owners to invest some money and redecorate.

Very Poor
Traveller Type:
  : Bed linen was clean but was the only aspect that met expectations
  : Showers unusable, one actually fell off the wall.Room very dirtyPool unusableCurtains hanging off tracks and full of dustWindows filthyCobwebs around corners of ceilingGenerally very tatty and in need of renovationBar/dining area unwelcomingStaff uninterested when we complainedBooked and paid in advance for 2 nights but only stayed for one. Obvious why you have to pay in advance, as we would not have paid the full amount after the experience

Poor

  : location and the staff member who ran breakfast.
  : Misleading description re parking. No parking at hotel.Nearest free parking 1km away otherwise it was 30 per day in municipal car park. On arrival there were no staff at reception and I had to ring the bell five times and wait 8mins for someone to turn up. Hardly ever any staff around.The room was very shabby and damaged. Door had been jemmied open and not repaired. Central light fitting broken and flickering, so could not be used. No plug in the washbasin. Bathroom windows would not close properly. Door and window curtains coming off rails. Blinds on windows between bedroom and bathroom did not work properly. Floor covering was sisal and very rough and uncomfortable to walk on, especially in bare feet. The room was stifling and there was no fan. One day the room was cleaned and the bed made up, the next in wasnt and towels which had become dirty from the bathroom floor werent changed.The gutter above the door leaked and dripped on you as you went in or out.Overall, of the 25-30 hotels we have stayed in over the past couple of years, this is the worst.

  : The location, although awkward for a car is very central. The pool and poolside area is excellent. Beds comfortable. Nice staff.
  : Room a bit shabby - especially the large musty closet. Toilet seat wonky.

  : Lovely family owned establishment. Great location. Pleasant to stay here.
  : I am reluctant to say this as we find the owner so nice and the hotel is so pleasant and decorated with taste. But I have thought on our last few stays the it is time to refresh the Interieurs with at least a new coat of paint at the hotel. The sisal carpet is also in tatters in many places throughout the property.

  : Great location to access restaurants, shops, salt beds (Hippobus tour) & the chateau (directly opposite the hotel). Good access along pedestrian/ cycle path to the nearest beach (Plage des Sableaux)- very much a cycle friendly area. Pool and terrace area is clean and there is a small bar area- it is a welcome addition to the central courtyard area- rooms look out onto the pool. The pool is enclosed by glass 'fencing' and only accessed via 'kid lock' gates.
  : Room was a little basic but it was clean and comfortable.
