Ouistreham hotels

Pros: The staff and facilities were fabulous and the location for the port is excellent. Lovely walks along the beach and the town is perfect for a wander. Evening dinner was tasty too.

Cons: I thought it was a little expensive for the type of room we had but we did book last minute.

Pros: Wonderful location. Good facilities and very clean. Reception service was prompt and friendly. The room rate was good value and the sea view from the view was fantastic.

Cons: Restaurant food was uninspiring and poor value for the price. Service was friendly and prompt but a little too prompt so felt like a cafeteria service. There were also a couple of basic errors in the service such as mixing up our orders.

Pros: Very good breakfasts, especially if you take into account how it typically looks in France. Two "cool features": freshly squeezed orange juice (other juices were very good as well) and hot chocolate. I would also like to mention nice coffee (both: "breakfast" one and from coffee machine). Polite and very kind personnel. The one can say that hotel requires some renovation but you can still feel good in hotel's premises. The smell from bathroom is not very pleasant but I must say that the hotel is very clean. As it can be easily seen from the map, the location was very good. Private and complimentary parking must be mentioned as a plus as well. Very good restaurant in the nearby (Jo et Jack). I would really recommend! I will not be looking for any other hotel, if (when) I get back to Normandy.

Cons: Musty smell from bathroom. However, the bathroom is very clean. Lack of coffee machine in the room. Quite uncomfortable beds (very hard).

Pros: Amazing Location near beach, restaurants and ferry. Air con. Ease of parking.

Cons: Generally felt like 3*.

Pros: Loved the location and the friendliness of the staff. It is next to the beach and to the city, so easy access to both. Easy parking and perfect for morning/night walks.

Cons: Nothing.

Pros: It was very convenient for the ferry and had very good, secure, parking at a reasonable rate.

Cons: The room was very cramped. Only one spare pillow provided. The heating didn’t work, and you had to switch on a mini heater in the bathroom , for 10 minutes, to get warm water. I have stayed in lots of Ibis hotels , all very good. This one needs attention.

Pros: The bed was comfortable, and the facilities in the room, and bathroom were very good. The staff were friendly, helpful and welcoming. The restaurant was good, and the food also.

Cons: I like a hot shower, and unfortunately the room that I was in, was some way from the hot water source, and had to wait sometime before the water was hot enough to use. Even then, it could have been hotter.

Pros: The bed and sofa bed were very comfortable.

Cons: Would of liked to have been able to purchase a snack or evening meal.

Pros: Great location and friendly staff

Cons: Room was a bit small

Pros: Excellent location for exploring the area. Great restaurant nearby.

Cons: Room was very small. No room for a second suitcase to be opened.

Pros: A nice hotel and good breakfast.

Pros: A very good place to stay (5 minutes from the Caen/Portsmouth Ferry) if you are travelling cross channel. The staff are very helpful, the rooms very clean (although French style basic). It is reasonable price wise being middle of the road. Food (restaurant) was very good and again reasonable in price. Having stayed here the same time last year I must say that I think the rooms must be allocated on a first come first served basis based on arrival time rather than when you book. This is based on the fact that although I booked around the same time in both years last year I was very late in arriving (ie about 2100) and got a smallish room "up in the gods" on the 3rd floor whilst this year I arrived at about 1400 & got a larger room on the 1st floor. This last piece of information is purely for your information and is not denigrating the hotel in any way. On both occasions the food and staff attention was excellent. Will I stay there again - definitely as a) it is one of the most convenient hotels for the cross channel ferry, b) it is perfectly acceptable for an overnight stay to/from the ferry & c) it is reasonably economical within acceptable limitations

Pros: Basic Hotel but perfect location for us coming out of the evening boat. Staff very friendly and helpful, very late arrival wasn't a problem. Beds very comfy, spacious 3 beds room, clean and quiet.

Cons: something needs to be done about the bathroom "door"

Pros: Good self service breakfast, plenty of choice.

Cons: My room was on the top floor l had asked For a room on the 1st floor. My room was small and looked as if it was not used too often. Only l bedside table, had to used chair as other Side table was part of the headboard. Will not use again unless they can guarantee A first floor roomm

Pros: Breakfast was good, buffet style and plenty to choose from

Cons: The heater was hanging off the bedroom wall and the room needed refurbishing. It also lacked cosy touches like pictures on the walls or rugs!

Pros: Location was good. Staff were helpful

Cons: Bed was awful. Room was cold. Water was luke warm and took 5 minutes to come through. DON'T USE ROOM 10

Pros: Location good for ferry. We did not have the breakfast.

Cons: Lamp in the bedroom did not work.

Pros: We enjoyed our stay and staff were specially helpful and friendly. Excellent location for exploreing the seaside town. Ours was a budget bedroom, so small and bathroom was awkward to move around for a couple of 70 yr olds! Recommend it highly.

Cons: Bathroom.

Pros: The staff were friendly and good location to port

Cons: The room was freezing cold. Although we changed rooms it didn’t really help. They did let us have an extra heater but it took hours to warm . Water not hot enough. Bathroom very tired and extremely cold!

Pros: Great service and buffet breakfast.

Cons: n/a

Pros: Food was excellent, as was the service.

Cons: Time to do a little decorating I think.

Pros: The hotel is in a former Villa named after the street it is on and is close to the beach. At the back is a large garden with some tables and chairs and a safe parking. Reception was friendly and my room was basic but otherwise ok. The bathroom was a bit smallish. Free WiFi internet worked well The breakfast buffet was nice with bits of everything Ouistreham is at the start of the so called D-day coast and there is an interesting museum in a former German WW2 bunker and a memorial at the beach

Pros: Closeness to Brittany Ferry terminal. Restaurant with interesting menu

Pros: Access for the port.

Pros: Tous

Cons: There are very few English channels on the tv. Brittany ferries have a mix of English and French.

Pros: Everything was very clean and welcoming. The breakfast was great with a variety of hot and cold options and I liked the location - it was 3 minutes from the ferry and a much better night's sleep than the onboard cabins of an overnight ferry at pretty much the same price!

Cons: Not the end of the world but parking was a bit difficult with a car & trailer. I had to uncouple and use two parking bays outside the hotel. However, there was plenty of parking and this is being a bit critical!

Pros: Very friendly staff. Comfortable lounge and very good breakfast. Restaurant nice if a bit expensive

Pros: Breakfast was good. The hotel is functional.

Cons: This is a functional place. We asked for a quiet room away from the car park and road. We were given a room beside the road and carpark. It was noisy at times

Pros: The staff were very welcoming. The rooms were spacious. The food was excellent value for money. Location was perfect for our trip.

Cons: The shower head was about to fall off the wall. Just a screw holding it in.

Pros: Friendliness of staff Cleanliness Superb evening meal Comfortable bed Warm room

Cons: Very small bathroom Would like tea/coffee making facilities Noisy plumbing overnight

Pros: Everything

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Good parking & the evening meal we had in the hotel was beautiful.

Cons: Nothing to complain about for the cost.

Pros: Location was good and it was quite

Cons: Very dated, dusty, very small bathroom, creaky floorboards

Pros: Excellent evening meal

Cons: Bedroom and bathroom a bit small and dated but good value for money

Pros: Comfortable and clean and extremely convenient to port

Pros: Bed was comfortable, room was clean.

Cons: Room was on the second floor, no lift available. When we arrived there were still a few diners in the restaurant but we were told the bar was closed.

Pros: Closeness to the Port

Cons: Shower cubicle was too small for my husband, as he's 6ft 4 in

Pros: Walking distance to shops bars and restaurants.

Cons: Hotel bar closes early.

Pros: Spotless room, overlooked a main thoroughfare, very charming. Would definitely stay again.

Pros: Location good. We didnt have breakfast as we had to leave to catch an early ferry.

Cons: This is a minimalist hotel staffed for only a few hours a day. The room furnishings were very basic and would be uncomfortable for a stay longer than one night. Rather short beds. The lavatory seat fell to pieces the first time it was sat on! The check-in lady was cheerful and helpful. Only five parking spaces available at the rear.

Pros: Very clean room, very clear communication with staff. Covenient for the ferry and own parking.

Cons: Hotel generally in need of refurbishments. Breakfast average. Breakfast room somewhat draughty!

Pros: Location

Cons: We booked a room with double bed. We were first given a room with single beds pushed together plus bunk beds. It was a hostel type room. We immediately asked for a different room we were given a double bed which was like a camp bed nearly on the floor. So uncomfortable and no tea/coffee, hair dryer without having to ask for them that was stated on the booking

Pros: Great staff. Bar attached to the hotel. Location is great. Can walk to restaurant, shops and the ferry.

Cons: The rooms are quite hot but it's fine if you open a window. We went in February and thought it was hot. It's just the design of the pipes in the rooms

Pros: Room, balconies, friendly staff. Location excellent. Good value.

Cons: The bathroom needs updating, but everything was clean and not a big problem.

Cons: More than one electrical socket in the room would be helpful. The socket in the bathroom for the hair dryer couldn't be used.

Pros: Ideal if you have an early ferry to catch

Pros: We were met with a smile at reception and all staff were helpful and friendly throughout our stay. Very comforting after a long drive! The room was very nice, comfortable and accessible. The restaurant had a a good selection of foods and menus with a variety of drinks on offer.

Pros: Super friendly staff and perfect place to stay en route to or from the ferry. The food is delicious and great value too. We love staying here. Huge thanks to everyone for making us welcome once again. À bientôt!

Pros: Great location, although aspiring British immigrants outside can be a bit frightening. Room was small, but perfectly adequate for a one night visit. All basically fine.

Cons: Our only niggle is that the breakfast is very old-fashioned, reminding us of our first visits to France in the 1970s! But it was good. Time has, alas, made us want something a little more varied!!

Pros: Great location and cheerful staff. Excellent dinner. Comfy bed and good hot water. Ideal for the single night we need en route from the ferry to our home in the Dordogne.

Cons: Room is small, but we knew that. OK for a single night, but not so good for a longer stay. Decoration a bit old - but that doesn't matter for a single night either!

Pros: Good friendly staff and great food. Well located for the ferry.

Cons: Nothing

Pros: The lady who runs the hotel remembered us from our previous stay and that we are buying a place in France. Always friendly and welcoming. The location is great for the early morning ferry back to the UK.

Pros: Super location. 200 meters from the promenade and where we needed to be for a family dinner. Owner was super friendly . She has a gem. It was super clean.

Cons: It needs some TLC but the owner made up for that.

Pros: It's simple and unpretentious. Limited facilities but we expected that. comfortable, warm, quiet, close to port and restaurants in easy walking distance. Good value.

Cons: Nothing to dislike.

Pros: This place was just stunning. Very beautiful building and garden out back. The owners are so nice.

Pros: Great location, parking available on site, nice sized room

Pros: Very clean, attractive and comfortable basic hotel, very close to the ferry port. Very friendly and helpful woman booked us in. Room was large, plenty of parking space in secure front drive. Close to many restaurants, cafes and bars. Ideal for ferry travellers.

Pros: Excellent location for walking to shops and restaurants and then driving to the port, maybe 5 minutes. The room was well decorated and warm with controllable central heating. Comfortable bed and lashings of hot water. Tea and coffee facilities in the room. Private parking.

Cons: Nothing really but must remember to take own coffee and teabags.

Pros: I like people so kind people so friendly people so happy I I like it

Cons: I don't like people putting smoking after putting in the flour dad is running on no respect the nature

Pros: I made booking for my friends. They were satisfied by price and helpful staff

Cons: Guests faced with bad wifi connection

Cons: Supply towels, we had to go and buy towels to take a shower and wash hands.

Pros: All good

Cons: Nothing

Pros: I was looking for a cheap room and the quality was acceptable

Cons: Noisy. The closest guests spoke loudly, and made noise when walking through the halls. I slept in a bunk bed, which never had the bedding in place, I did a job that the hotel had to have done

Pros: I travelled on a motorcycle so the location was perfect. There's a supermarket nearby to do all your necessary shopping, rooms are clean and tidy, beds comfy. Staff very helpful - there was a huge group of french teenagers staying at the same time and making more noise than I could imagine, so for my own comfort they gave me a room in the most quiet wing of the hotel :)

Cons: Toilets/shower rooms are more like the ones you'd find on a train. I get the idea but still - too wet inside and a bit too dirty. Hot water turns off way too fast.

Pros: My first thought at arriving (4km from town and 20e by Uber - there are only a few drivers in the town) was that of having made a very great blunder. However, with a bit of research regarding public transport (next to non-existant on Sundays) the place became tolerable. The #2 bus takes one to within 15 minutes (walking) of the palce and the 6a, from the rainway station, to a drop point that is very close to the hotel. 6b, on the other side of the road, takes one through town to the railway station. There is a supermarket and two reasonable restrurants within close walking distance and the breakfast, although basic, is adequate.

Cons: Apparently F1 hotels are a standard feature in France. They tend to be fequented by families that are travelling and have thier own transport. The rooms are adequate but basic with common ablution areas but no facilities for self-help coffee or tea other than primitive low-quality vending machines. As to the Wifi itself I would rate it as average-to-poor; particularly in the evenings with 30%+ packet losses but is acceptable (just) throughout the day.

Pros: The shower and wc are very nice

Cons: We found a couple of bedbugs in the pillow at midnight

Pros: Central location. Jessica was very helpful. Eggs at breakfast were excellent.

Cons: -0-

Pros: Staff were okay

Cons: Dirty and reminded me of University Halls. The pictures do not accurately reflect the property/

Pros: Modern and comfortable.

Cons: Additional cost for parking; Expensive breakfast cost.

Pros: Staff,. Cleanliness, very good for local people who want to hit bar.

Cons: This is not a 4star property. Room size is small. And sofa bed and double bed wasn't comfortable. The bin is very small for an apartment.

Pros: We ave stayed in Caen three previous times. Every tine, we booked someplace closer to William the conqueror’s Castel. The Adagio is only a block from the tram which took us everywhere we wanted to go. The apartments are well equipped. We cooked dinner in one night and fixed breakfast in our apartment every morning. The staff was super friendly and helpful.

Pros: Staff were extra helpful and friendly Good breakfast Great facilities

Cons: Smell in the bathroom

Pros: good selection clean & tidy presentation

Cons: unable to obtain "proper"english tea & milk to enable a cup of tea to be made early morning. Not everyone likes Earl Grey and/or herbal teas they are just fancy brands. Neither the hand or bath towels were changed during our 3day stay.

Pros: Close center, Adagio mostly always nice, confort, space

Cons: girl receiving me was only busy looking at her computer, made me feel akward and uncomfortable. No real connextion

Pros: Good location, close to the train station and a short walk for the city center. Nice room, more than enough for our one night stay before heading off to our road trip around Normandy.

Cons: The bed was not the most comfortable I've ever seen, but nothing that kept me from having a good night of sleep.

Pros: Reception. Decent room. Typical Novotel.

Cons: Pricey breakfast but decent food.

Pros: Reception staff were excellent - very friendly and helpful. Pool was very well needed after a hot day at Juno Beach. The restaurant food was lovely and the buffet breakfast was amazing - and the kids ate FREE! Thank you

Cons: nothing

Pros: Room very comfortable and roomy Bed especially comfortable

Cons: Restaurant was not great. Weren’t told until after we’d ordered that there were other food choices available. Food we got was ok but very expensive ( my wife had a small bowl of pesto flavoured pasta for approx £13!) Have stayed in other Novotel where there were self service buffet options, much better.

Cons: The staff were friendly and very helpful and spoke good English , but there simply were not enough of them. Example both evenings there were two bus loads of people - at least 80 people - staying to see the WWII battlefields plus perhaps 30 other guests. There were only two waiters for the bus parties and one poor chap who was waiting on the other guests and also manning the bar (for all 100+ guests). Also on reception, only one person - very helpful but there were a lot of people waiting with queries. Too much cost cutting.

Pros: The staff were particularly helpful in assisting with my little grandson’s needs. He has allergies and therefore there is a need for extreme vigilance. Owing to a car breakdown on their return journey I booked another room for them and the breakdown necessitated a further night’s stay. Throughout this time the staff immediately recognised my family and stepped forward to assist again - making a traumatic time less stressful. Many thanks to all - especially Sarah !

Pros: breakfast was excellent

Cons: Expensive, and the breakfast even more so.

Pros: Free parking, convenient location.

Cons: Firstly was a strange set up with checkin in, you had to use a self serve check in if it was between the hours of 1100 to 1700 as reception was not staff between these hours, self check in was simple enough but just strange. Once in the hotel room, a cleaner knocked but walked straight in with towels, didn’t even give me a chance to get up to answer the door. Breakfast consists of basically bread! When we wanted to check out, we couldn’t get actually leave the hotel as the doors wouldn’t open, luckily the window cleaner typed in the code from the outside to let us out, again no sign of anyone that worked there. At not one point did we see any reception staff at this hotel. Just a very strange set up!

Pros: was ok

Cons: when we arrived,we had to wait about 10-15 min due to the phone conversation by the receptioner and finally without a sorry.....

Pros: Probably our 6th or 7th stay - perfect for the morning ferry from Caen to Portsmouth

Cons: Nothing

Pros: Small beds but very comfortable. Breakfast was good.

Cons: The location was very far out of the centre, the only way to get to it was by Uber/taxi or private car. The bathroom was very small.

Pros: Great place for the price we pay and very close to our lace we wanted to visit

Pros: Breakfast was good. Children loved the room.

Cons: The smell in the corridor is unpleasant.

Pros: Clean, tidy, comfortable, good value

Cons: I arrived late at night on a motorbike, tired and cold which probably explains why I found the unmanned automated check in a little confusing. It wasn't clear at first which of the 3 references I had were needed for door entry.

Pros: Affordable, clean

Cons: Air conditioning did not work and it was 90+...terrible!

Pros: Clean, close by parking, nice breakfast (not included)

Cons: Location requires a car if u want to go to the town's center

Pros: The staff were nice, the room was clean...

Pros: breakfast was really good. Lots of choice

Cons: The weather (Sorry english sense of humour)

Pros: did not take breakfast due to early depart, convenient for autoroutes. Well lit very clean and comfortable room for a budget stopover

Cons: some low level noise from other guests

Pros: The bed was comfortable It had enough parking lots and was easy to get to from the highway The staff was friendly and helpfull

Cons: the room I was inneeded some updates and repairs

Pros: For people who are travelling and simply are looking for a place to spend the night, this hotel is perfectly located - there's quick and easy access to the motorway and to filling-stations close by. Since the hotel is located in a business park, there is no need to expect romantic or inviting parks for walks. It is pragmatically functional with a rich and well-balanced breakfast. The bread/croissants are fresh, the coffee is delicious but there's also tea on offer. The room we had was clean and quiet. The staff is very forthcoming, helpful and welcoming.

Cons: There's nothing to mention here, because for a budget hotel this place absolutely met my expectations with a satisfactorily big room, and a breakfast that is more than you usually get in a budget hotel!

Pros: Room was clean and location was good

Cons: WiFi was no good at all, I could not connect

Pros: Very comfortable bed, very clean, excellent breakfast

Pros: The staff. Lovely people. Warm and very available to help.

Cons: The weather! Luckily the accommodations and the staff were excellent.

Pros: Excellent location Almost everything close by,,

Cons: Kind staff,Location,,clean enough.I booked a suite And Double room,even though suite is smaller good enough for a day and night

Pros: A very good breakfast buffet

Cons: Small cheap paper and plastic cups in the room and small towels were something I would expect from a 2 star not a 4 star hotel.

Pros: Friendly. Early check in and comfortable room

Cons: No restaurant after breakfast. No room service over weekend. Breakfast only average

Pros: Location Sunday market immediate outside underground carpark

Cons: Small bedroom not enough To swing a cat room not cleaned to satisfaction hard towels with whlff

Pros: Hotel on site Parking very easy to access and use even with a large estate car which was what I was looking for and is always important to me. The charges were very fair and the hotel let us leave the car whilst we had an interview after checking out. Much appreciated. The hotel has a nice luxury air with a wonderful atrium space used for meetings etc. It is clearly used by the local business community. There is a nice bar on site but no restaurant though there are plenty in the immediate vicinity. The room was typical with plenty of space and very clean. Colours used throughout are dark to give an air of opulence but some may find it not to their taste. There is a lot of nice artwork displayed. The buffet breakfast area is pleasant and the buffet itself of good quality apart from the coffee.

Cons: The coffee at breakfast. Not sure why but it was awful. Traditional mellita bean to cup machine so should have been ok but it was lukewarm and undrinkable. I did not raise it with the staff as I was rather preoccupied with my important rdv that day but there were plenty of staff on duty who were all friendly and they may have been able to make me some coffee had I asked! I understand why a hotel has showers over a bath but it feels old fashioned perhaps hotels could consider Italian shower or bath over shower like twin or double beds and offer clients a choice. But the shower functioned well.
