Normandy Landing Beaches Hotel Guide - Historic Hotels in Normandy Landing Beaches, France

If you are looking for a cookie cutter hotel in Normandy this is not the place for you. If you are looking for an experience you may want to take a long hard look at staying in this unique establishment. The Junogite begins its uniqueness in the fact the building itself was built in 1780, has a nearly 900 year old church essentially in its back yard, and is a short distance from the beaches that the allies stormed on D-day! Not your typical place to stay indeed. Your caretaker Alexander speaks wonderful English and is happy to help anyway he can. Bicycles can be rented by the day and you can easily ride around the village and see the sites. The rooms themselves are decorated simply but tastefully, are clean and offer plenty of room. We had a studio on the ground floor with a comfortable bed, a table to eat at and a kitchenette for making your own meals. There were big windows that opened allowing plenty of fresh air in which was a nice treat. The shower was hot, had good pressure and was spacious. If you are looking for the prototypical hotel this is not the place for you, but if you like your travel experiences to be a little quirky and adventurous this place should be right up your alley.

The owner and staff were very courteous and helpful The owner appears very proud of his hotel

I was a wee bit weary after booking this stay and reading through dozens of reviews. I'm glad I didn't cancel based on what some people had to say.. The facilities were clean, comfortable, and it was easy to settle in. Like a home away from home. We stayed in the 3 bedroom apartment/townhome, and thus far in all of my travels, I have to say it was the nicest aparthotel we've booked! The 3 bedroom was just the perfect size for our family of six. It had a back porch outfitted with patio furniture which was a nice touch. One person mentioned they had to pay for use of towels and linens. I didn't. The only catch was that we had to make our own beds with linens provided in a sealed bag, but that was not a hassle. Towels were provided. Pots, pans, dishes, were all provided. The staff was nice and helpful. No faults there. We LOVED the location. Just a quick walk to the Juno beach shore made for some wonderful sunset evenings. My kids didn't want to leave! Pretty close to all major D-Day sights without the hassle of staying in big city Caen. There's a huge Carrefour about 1.5 km away, and a smaller city chain within a few minutes walk.A few restaurants nearby, too. The only thing I disliked was the lobby hours. I didn't realize the lobby opened at 9am on the day of our check-out, but we were ready to leave around 8am. Needing a receipt and to hand in keys, we couldn't just take off. If I ever return to the area, no question, I will stay here again!

if i was forced to dig deep for a complaint it would be that they use tracing paper for loo roll.

This hotel has the perfect location on Omaha Beach. The view is unbeatable. The history of the hotel is remarkable. It was a great place to learn about the D-day. It was a very peaceful hotel. The hotel did not have air conditioning, which is probably not a necessity, but there was a heat wave the day we arrived, and it was surprisingly warm.
