Avoid.
Sink blocked, wifi poor, poor cleanliness despite the Hotel being half empty. Breakfast buffet ok. Checked out after one night - couldn't bear to stay longer.

Convenient and comfortable
This hotel is excellent value for money. We only stayed one night to catch an early ferry the next day, but the place had lots of touches in the rooms to make our stay really comfortable and I would be happy to stay here for longer.

Having stayed several times in this Hotel we knew that it was comfortable and had an excellent restaurant. However one of our main reasons for selecting the establishment and paying more was the views from the Hotel. Unfortunately the entire seafront is being redeveloped and the outlook is one of Mud Piles, Contractors fencing and Machinery. The promenade is a builders yard and not a pleasant area for a stroll.

I've stayed here several times and will continue to do so in the future. The staff are very friendly and professional. The rooms are beginning to look a bit tired and in need of repainting - hopefully not the horrible dark blue again! Unfortunately this stay was spoiled by unruly children running and screaming in the corridor until 11 pm. Good location for the ferry and they accept dogs. Car park in need of resurfacing.

Been going here for 13 years but sorry never again. It’s gone down the pan. Arrogant management. No hot water in evenings to shower. Poor menu. Damp in rooms. Shame as used to be really good

Before I start the bar/waiting did an excellent job and this review is not about them. Firstly we booked to stay at Hotel de la Plage. When we arrived we were told we were next door at Hotel de la Golf. One word a dump! After complaining we were moved to le Plage. After a long journey you want a shower right? Not here as no hot water at night! Asked why to be told only available in morning! We made a cup of tea in our room and when we went down stairs to ask for a couple of extra t bags we were refused and told there is enough t bags in room and if we want more tea then we would have to buy from resturant! Asked for additional blanket for bed and you would have thought we were asking for gold! After much moaning by the “ Manager” he relented and gave us one. Now for dinner. We ordered our meals. My wife ordered scallops for her main which when they came were cold. Sent it back and told new ones would be cooked. Well second plate came and not only under cooked but even colder than last plate. We said don’t bother and cancel my wife’s meal. Well bill came and we were charged for the cold food! We asked the waitress who was very embarrassed and said the manager had said we were to pay. We spoke to the manager who had a very arrogant manner who said the food was not cold and demanded we pay. He tried to say we didn’t know how scallops were cooked but we do as we have eaten in many fine restaurants! After a heated conversation he would only give us a poultry 10% discount!

ideal for 1 or 2 nights stop over. very close to the tunnel and close to town centre. the property could do with a makeover in the bedrooms as they have painted the tiles over and it has not worked and was bubbled up. the evening meal was very good

Nice enough hotel but starting to look and feel a bit dated. A little bit more effort and maintenance and this could be a great place to stay. Small things like duvets rather than blankets on the beds, china cups rather than plastic would make a difference.

Crappy beds
The hotel was not what we were booked into , The beds were hard and very uncomfortable . On entry to the room was totally unacceptably freezing cold , Walls had been patched with plaster and not repainted . We seemed to be an inconvenience to the staff who were all over the contingent of French Police staying there

Nice hotel and good for beach and restaurants.
We booked two rooms for the family and were quite disappointed that the rooms were not next door to each other. When we stayed previously we had connecting rooms but this was not available this time. The rooms are basic but fit for purpose and clean. We would stay there again definitely.

Second stay
We have stayed here twice. You will not get better value for money. The room is hyper clean and has all you need the bed us really comfy and the bathroom is well appointed. The staff are friendly and professional. The Brasserie serves excellent food at reasonable prices and the manager was engaging, professional and amusing. Breakfast was very good. We will continue to use the hotel .... It's perfect for anyone crossing the channel.

Dirty toilet
The panel for flushing the toilet has chocolate color stain on it, I wiped off with wet paper easily that means the house keeping did not do the job well. I didn’t take a photo because the first reaction was trying to clean it. But I did take a photo of the toilet seat!

Disappointing trip
The hotel is divided into two buildings. Repeatedly I end up in the other building. It has been refurbished in a very cheap way and the pain job is poor. Additionally there is not sufficient heating or bed linen for winter. Not impressed and not to return. I have been to hotel several times and it appears to deteriorate each time. Not again

Moved us next door
On arrival we were craftfully asked if we were wanting breakfast and then paid up front for the room. Once we'd paid that's when he stuck the crippler in that we were staying next door at the hotel golf. When queried why, he said it was because they'd got so many police booked in there was no room in the hotel la plage. We have stayed here a few times before and booked the plage , not the golf. The golf is a hostel, not a hotel. Albeit thy are in the throes of spending some money on it, it seems half hearted. The food is excellent and bar and restaurant service is very friendly and professional.
