“Great place, but alittle out of the main city”

We had hard time finding the hotel because it was futher away from the city than I thought. We had to drive to the enchanting city instead of walking. The hotel was clean and we would stay there again, but just remember: its NOT in town.

“Great hotel”

Delighted with this family run hotel. Excellent value - a few 100 yards outside the busy centre but not too far to walk. Food very good value - staff helpful but not intrusive. Quiet atmosphere would certainly return at these prices.

“Quick stop in Tours”

Very nice people.

“Too far out of town”

We stayed at the Auberge for one night whilst we explored Honfleur. Honfleur itself was beautiful as always. Upon arrival we were greeted by a pleasant gentleman who handed us the keys and pointed us in the direction of the top floor via a very narrow spiral staircase - not suitable for the elderly or children. First impression of the room was that it was tidy with the basic facilities that one might need. The bathroom was in need of some attention but the bad was comfortable enough. There is a small stream at the back of the property so don't leave the window open if you are prone to mosquito bites, I left with many bites the following day.

“cheap but reasonable”

not far from centre, but very basic and rather limited.

“Should I stay or should I go?”

The hotel had an acceptable aspect on a main road into Honfleur (town centre an easy one mile walk down the road). The room we were assigned was small, wholly dominated by twin coffin-like beds and had a small bathroom. It was very dark with minimal lighting. Well, OK. The room also had peeling and bubbling wallpaper on clearly damp areas and a strong damp smell. Incredibly it only had a lace curtain (with a guest walkway immediately outside the window), which would afforded no privacy in the evening. Neither did it have anything like sufficient storage space - a small alcove with a concertina door (not big enough to be designated "wardrobe") was all that was provided. There was no space for luggage or other belongings. I have had some previous experience in roughing it. I have slept in sleeping bags on floors; on floors without sleeping bag; and once in the boot of a car. I have stayed in many student flops more presentable than this hotel and potential guests should be aware of its shortcomings. A level of our dissatisfaction can be measured. We arrived in high season and immediately set to look for other suitable accomodation, but there was nothing available within our budget. So we had a decision to make; should we stick it out in Honfleur, or go back to England and do something else? We had an excellent lunch in town and caught the 5.00 pm ferry out of Dodge.
