You need to know where the rooms are; on the map, it looks right on the beach, and the rooms have sea views. However, when they say “Côté jardin”, it’s another building, a few doors down and across the street. If you get a room on the second floor, there is no elevator so be aware. These are just practical tips, don’t let it scare you away. The place was great, still mere metres from the beach, very clean, the breakfast was nice, the staff is excellent. Make sure to try their restaurant, it is great. We had a family room, with twin beds in a loft, which the kids loved. It’s a nice walk to the Juno Beach centre, which every Canadian has to see once. In the morning there is a fish market, giving you a local vibe.

Disappointing
The room was not as expected. It said garden view, which gives the impression of ground floor or a view of a gatden. There was no lift. 2 flights of stairs with luggage. No garden view, only view of next door's house roof from the 2nd floor. No continental breakfast, only a €16 pp buffet option, where we were told to pig out to get value. Very poor WiFi Generally i big disappointment.

Great hotel and restaurant. Clean, peaceful with helpful staff. The hotel has recently been updated and has different buildings besides the main house. My colleague was in a room with a loft, the other had a room with a little garden. We reserved dinner as well and liked how engaging the waiter was. I do speak fluent French which made interactions much smoother.

In the middle of everything
Nice hotel in the middle of Juno Beach. Great spot to visit the Canadian Memorials. The hotel is spread out to multiple buildings that are close to the main reception/restaurant building and are easy to get to.

Family room with mezzanine area for kids was good, but very steep stairs if travelling with young children. Small ensuite but fine. Parking right outside available but completely full later in the evening. Good continental breakfast included and appreciated. Fans supplied when requested in warmer weather. Pleasant garden area as only very small balcony. Easy walk to seafront and plenty of restaurants.

The location of the rooms in the hotel is ideal. Right overlooking the beach with great views. Be careful because I think they also own a property just off the beach called the residences which will not have ocean views. The room was very spacious, tidy, and comfortable and the bathroom was modern and updated and clean. The arrangement is a little odd-- one checks in at the restaurant desk and walks through the restaurant diners to get up to the rooms. No elevator, you'll be lugging suitcases up multiple staircases. The stairwell and at times the room itself smelled odd-- like seafood or other smells wafting up from the kitchen below. The first night of our stay it was cool outside, so we closed the windows while we slept and the smells in the room that accumulated from below were terrible. So, windows open the next two nights. There is no AC, but even in July we were okay. We did have a little portable fan with us. The area around the hotel is lovely and lively.

Not great. It is a tired facility that lacks many of the usual amenities. I would not recommend staying in Courseulles unless you absolutely had to. Bayeux is a better location in my opinion.

If your goal is to tour the Normandy beaches (the hotel is located on Juno) this is the perfect choice. The superior beach front room large actually a suite with that would be excellent for an extended stay. The restaurant overlooks the beach and it has a good selection and was extremely popular.Highly recommend and I would certainly return

One night stay.
The rooms were spacious and clean with a beautiful view of the ocean. It was down the street from reception which was odd. Seems like they are buying surrounding g homes and renovating them to hotel suites. The restaurant was top notch. Amazing food and service. Saw a few seafood platters that were outstanding. Breakfast buffet was good but should be served until 11am for checkout time.

My sisters and I wanted to visit Juno Beach (as Canadians) - we chose this hotel online. We were pleasantly surprised at how bright and clean it was, all brand new. Wonderful views of the Channel- very close to all the places we wanted to see, day trips to Bayeux etc. Lovely dinner overlooking the beach. Quiet and peaceful

I signed up for Garden view, but was a little surprised that the annex wasn't like the picture and was down the road on the other side of the road. It wasn't clear that the annex building wasn't beside the area with the picture.

Nice place near the sea
Hotel spread over 4 or 5 different buildings all within 100m from the main building/restaurant and the sea. Lovely garden area. Restaurant is pricey and food is good but not great. Might be best to book direct, seems to be a big markup on price through Hotels.com Our room was in the ‘Cottage’ and was spacious and light. Lots of on-site parking

Dog friendly and great location.
The service was excellent. Very dog friendly. Could have done with a fridge in the room. Quite noisy at night from the road nearby. The rooms were comfortable and great able to put shutters down but still keep the air flowing at night. The patio was lovely, straight onto the Promenade. Location you could not fault.

The hotel is divided in 3 parts, so you don’t stay close to the restaurant, it’s a different building. This should be precised on the reservation

Basically the room reminded me of a similar room that I had in a British Travllodge. Which was better, But it did the job. Extremely disappointed at checkout, we were charged for 5 days breakfast. Which rought the cost of the hotel to just under £600. Not worth the money. I intend to complain about this, as I was sure that the cost of breakfast was included in the overall price

Location is interesting if you are interested in the Normandy beaches, esp. Juno Beach (Canadian landing). the Juno beach centre is nearby and is interesting, but limited. Good beaches for sunbathing. Important to know that most tourists there are french-speaking and most staff do not speak English. Check in was by a fluent English speaker, but nobody else we dealt with spoke English. They were generally willing to help with my not-great French, but people with no French should be aware.
