This hotel was opposite the beach, however the room was really small and we found it to be really expensive for what they offered. There was no bottle of water in the room, shampoo/body wash was basic and parking was an extra €7 too.

Dear Nigel,Shampooing and gel are surely not basic as they are ecological products. We have chosen dispenser to avoid plastic waste. What is inside is certainly more important than the bottle. It is time to change mindset.Clothes do not make the man, same for the products.Best regards,

Not as described in the listing
We wouldn't have stayed if we'd had accurate information. The hotel is very handy for the beach and in a great old building with a lot of history, but it's very run down and more like a hostel than a hotel. The information in the listing isn't accurate. There's no communal tea / coffee, toiletries / shuttle bus service / pool, etc. It might be that other rooms are better but we could hear every little cough & noise from the neighbouring room and staircase.

Dear Mrs Fiona,Thank you for sharing your experience.The Villa has been built in 1867, it's a part of her charm, we start renovating all rooms since 2017, but it takes time.The information on our own website are exact, there is sometimes fake information on Internet.If you want a transfer to the ferry, you have to contact reception before and would be extra cost. We booked a taxi for you as asked and then you canceled it.We propose also Coffee and tea trail with extra cost but you refused. It's not mandatory for a 2 stars hotel to have it in all room.There is toiletries in all room, but we choose to use distributor for ecological reason.We don't know where you see that we have a pool ? There is a public pool and a thalasso just near the hotel. Regards,Mélinda and Julien

Overnight stay
Just an overnight before the ferry, made to feel welcome and nice views out to the sea. Secure parking so great for motorcyclists and cars. 5 minutes from ferry! Convenient for restaurants .

Good hotel close to the port
Lovely stop near to the port, rooms were small but clean and just what we needed. We parked but did reserve this ahead of time. Appreciated that the hotel allowed our late arrival due to a delayed ferry

Perfect location near the beach and restaurants. Normandy villa with a garden and lounge chairs. Possibility to park inside the property. The corridor is outdated but clean. Room and bathroom are a bit small. No shampoo. Sea view and quietness appreciated.

I didn't like that they charged for parking when it is basically theirs, the stairs need to be repaired they are old and hard to get around specially for my parents. Staff is very nice, place has a wonderful view and is close to everything. Breakfast was good and the rooms are nice and clean. Needs some updating, but is nice.

Great location for the ferry
Great location if you just want a place to stay before or after the Caen ferry. Small room but very clean. We arrived at 11:00pm & we’re quickly & easily greeted with a smile. Although we paid €10 for parking you could’ve parked outside on the road in what looks a very safe spot for nothing.

Great hotel
As a Kid I loved a good 2 star French hotel. This was a great example of one. The staff were really friendly, the hotel was clean the shower worked. It was great. If there was an issue it was that the gate to get into the car park is tight for larger cars (Skoda Superb) - but thats on me for having a huge car. It's fine for normal sized cars. If there was a second bed as opposed to a sofa bed it would have been better, but for our stay it was fine and we were expecting it after a series of email from the owners - so no problem! I recommend it. It's lovely and we will be back!

The Andry is well located and in walking distance of many shops and restaurants. Although the walls are this and the sound carries, most guests tend to tone it down before it becomes bothersome.

Channel ferry stopover.
Perfect stopover for early ferry to UK. Close to several nice restaurants. Not 5 star, but didnt need that. Clean and comfortable. No lift so avoid heavy luggage.

Liked: Cleanliness
Our trip involved a late night arrival and early deparature for the ferry. The room was ok. I was expecting something better from the photo of the hotel. What annoyed me was paying something like 8 euro for the parking, maybe I missed this on the booking but unnecessary as one street parking is fine.

Hotel was positioned for the most amazing view of sword beach. Room was nicely decorated, WiFi available, hot shower and the staff very friendly. A bit annoying that you have to pay for parking but that would be my only moan.

Good location and service, but rooms very basic.
Had to call to be let in but understand situation. Reception excellent - organised food and wine quickly and efficiently. Room Ok but dated and basic by modern standards. Location good for ferry. But - when leaving car park of hotel must go right as one way, leaving you at the mercy of back streets, no direction signs. Managed to find the port but took about 10 minutes and some luck. Would be helpful for hotel to provide a simple map.

Great place to stay
An overnight stay after arriving on the ferry in the evening. We've stayed here before - good value and friendly staff. Will definitely stay again, but would love a kettle and tea/coffee making facilities in the room! However, the receptionist willingly filled our flask for the onward journey the next day.

Hotel Facing the Beach
There's no elevator, so you have to lug your suitcases up a couple of flights of narrow stairs. The Hotels.com description said there is a free shuttle to the ferry, but the hotel said they have none. The breakfast was very good and the location is also good.
