We stayed at this hotel for 2 nights at the end of our journey through france, we have stayed here on 2 other occasions, the rooms are very basic but clean, the building is a former coachhouse and has a fantastic stone spiral staircase, Wi-fi is ok although a little slow, the village of Valognes is ok too not very...

We were warmly welcomed and we were able to park the bike in the garage, the room was very basic and no kettle or cups in room, we had to go down to the bar for a cup of coffee! The restaurant has little choice and is too up market for the hotel.

We have stayed in this 17th century former coaching inn many times as it is very convenient for our purpose.The latest dates being the 15th and then the 19th of September. We arrived fairly late on the 15th so were unable to have dinner as the kitchen closes at 9.15pm. On the way up to our room two out of... More

We stayed here for one night after driving from Bayonne with a van full of our possessions, which we quickly discovered wouldn't fit through the archway leading to the car park, so had to leave all of our wordly goods on the street overnight! Our room was up a spiral staircase, very tiny with an even tinier bathroom, but to... More

We were warmly welcomed and helped to park the car in the rear courtyard which was difficult to access. The hotel was clearly past its best- faded carpets, strange smells in the corridors, bathroom very basic with no soap, bed hollowed in the middle and lots of noise both from within the hotel and from the street outside. The restaurant... More

Staff are most friendly and speak English fluently. Restaurant is set in time but the food is excellent. If you can accept the basic bedroom, its a reasonable hotel in a... More

It is a great building yes - wonderful cobbled courtyard and old stone interior including a charming spiral staircase. The rooms are basic and cheaply furnished, but then the place is pretty cheap so that's ok. What is not ok is the noise levels in the bedrooms throughout the night. Most of this comes from other rooms, including the communal... More

Less than half an hour from Cherbourg, Valognes is the obvious place to spend the night if you catch the afternoon ferry from Portsmouth. We have stayed at this hotel almost annually for over ten years and watched its evolution from a very basic, run-down place through a few make-overs and countless changes of ownership. The building itself dominates any... More

This is a traditional French hotel, once a coaching inn with lots of evidence of that era. Some attempts have been made to refurbish it but not too successfully. The room we tayed in (No. 1) was cold and seemed damp; equiped with one of the smallest bathrooms we have seen on dry land. The staff were friendly and the... More
