The moment we arrived, the lady on reception was incredibly welcoming, friendly and helpful, and this level of service continued from all staff until we checked out. Great decor throughout the hotel and it was very conveniently located so we could walk to restaurants and bars. We would definitely stay here again.

Good location, not in the city centre but near Grande Plage. Bus station and food market are near too. Breakfast was okay but little bit expensive. Staff was very helpful. Special thanks to Antoine who helped me at night when my flight was canceled. I recommend this hotel!
