Wonderful hotel with outstanding service

This hotel is in a wonderful location and the service is excellent. We had some issues with our rented vehicle. We tried to contact the agency. We don't speak French. Raphael at the desk called for us several times. He went above all expectations to help us. He patiently made several calls and our issue was eventually resolved. The rooms here are very nice. The breakfast was outstanding and beautifully served.

Best hotel in Honfleur. Staff was incredibly attentive, ready to help with dinner bookings etc. They have a private parking area nearby which is convenient since parking is tight in town. Raphael and owner Victor were absolutely lovely from beginning to end. Room was spacious with rustic features and modern amenities at the same time.
