Everything about my stay at Hotel Normandy was wonderful. The staff were so kind and informative and I felt very welcome. 10 minutes walk to a lovely beach. I will certainly go back.

There was no parking and arriving late hard to find down a small street there is no one to greet you. The rooms are tiny, and you can hear every time someone goes in or out. Arriving late on my own was hard to find and though told there was parking there wasn’t any close which is very inconvenient and doesn’t feel safe arriving late as a woman on your own

Dear madam, first of all, can I just say I am really sorry to hear that you felt unsafe. For your information, cap-dail is a very safe place. There is cameras everywhere in the little city and being so close to Monaco. The police is very much on guard and also patrolling all the streets, this is coming from someone that's observed and seen this for over 30 years. It's a shame you did not touch base with the hotel, because if you were concerned about your safety, of course we would've had someone there waiting for you. There is parking in all the streets all around the hotel, I have never ever not found a parking. Please another time do contact a hotel. If you are concerned about parking or your own safety. As a hotel, we train our employees for these circumstances and we are there as the owners and we take this type of situation serious. And we have all type of rooms in the hotel small to larger and again this is why you should be contacting the hotel because we could've given you a larger room. Unfortunately this is based on availability and Offen needs to be booked in advance because we have a lot of regular customers coming back to the hotel that knows the rooms and there's the hotel and they request the same room. It's always a good idea to book a hotel direct with the hotel and enquire and speak to the employees to get good information in advance of travel. Wishing you all the best and please in the future use a hotel and speak to the reception so you can be advised. Best wishes Hotel Notmandy Team always here to help

No parking and not kind reception
The hotel is not easy to find, but my problem was in the description it says “free parking.” This is not the case. Very problematic as this was main reason for choosing this property. Desk said only two spaces and were full. Public parking was very complicated and no explanation on Next, check in desk lady was not kind. Rude. No help understanding parking, beaches, AC, internet…etc. we would’ve stayed another night, but felt unwelcome. I did not argue. We are a couple in our 50’s. Went to bed at 8pm. Very well traveled. Super respectful and clean. Do not like being treated badly for no reason. Parking should be taken off. Not cool in Europe.

We enjoyed our stay very much and would return again. We had a superior sea-view room which had an amazing views. The staff were very pleasant and friendly. The location is ideal. This hotel is much better than the listed star rating.

Dirty, worn down and rude owner
I’ve travelled a lot and I’ve never experience this. Why people rate this hotel highly is beyond me. Place is dirty, worn down and the owner is needlessly rude. My wife almost got a scolding at for asking to borrow two spoons and when we arrived back at the hotel at 11.40, I was told “I was behaving like I own the room for the entire day”. Would suggest to find another place if I were you.

Response from Hotel Normandy on 13 Jun 2022
Dear Steven, I think there has been a little bit of misunderstanding and maybe a language barrier that's caused this. I understand it's stressful to travel with children and family. There was nothing rude ment with anything. The place has a very high level of cleanliness. It's unfair to take a photo of a floor when you have occupied a room. There are two housekeepers for 16 rooms and our housekeeper has about hotel experience of 20 years, so we know the hotel is exceptional well cleaned and we do spot checks of rooms after cleaning. The hotel has also been nearly fully renovated a few years ago. However, hotels have higher wear and tear than a normal residential property, due to extreme cleaning and guest stays. I really find it sad that you and your family had this experience and I have to say you are one of 2-3 people a year. That's why we also have great reviews. I hope you can come back another time and let us know so we can make it up to you. From the bottom of my heart I am really sorry if you took things the wrong way. Hope you have a good Summer and best wishes to you and the family.

The rooms were spotlessly clean with the exception of lots of stains on one of the cushions on the bed. The breakfast was really good, and the staff are exceptionally helpful. Overall the hotel is charming and we would definitely stay again and recommend to others, if I may, I would like to suggest that, as you have a bar. And serve coffee, and have a wonderful balcony..... you keep the bar open past 8pm so guests can enjoy it and have a drink after a day of sightseeing , only a suggestion. We loved the hotel

Owner and staff very friendly and helpful. Room #2 is too hot, a fan was requested and provided. Wi-Fi is good. Room clean. Breakfast is too expensive and not included. You can eat in bakery close by or buy your own food at a local market. Everything is close by.

We loved the quirkiness and the owner was so friendly and helpful, as were all the staff except one. Our only complaint would be the young girl that covered reception sometimes who was more interested in her phone than helping guests. That would not stop us going back, we would just hope not to see her again.

Hello, It is a very strange review, we don't know in which room you were but we have bigger rooms to offer you if we had known that you were unhappy with yours. Plus, it is clearly mentionned on expedia.com that we have no service the night like in many others hotels. The towels could have been changed too and usually have a standard cleaning by a company.
