Arcachon hotellia

Plussat: From the minute we arrived to when we left the hotel staff were all exceptionally friendly and helpful. Every time we passed through reception the staff would always engage, no looking down pretending to be busy. The parking is great, we pre-booked a garage spot but it probably wasn’t necessary as there was plenty of room in the car park. The hotel is just a street back from the beach but a very short walk away and near plenty of restaurants etc. The room was bright, clean and the bed was very comfortable. There are tea/coffee making facilities with tasty little cakes. During the breakfast service the staff were again engaging in conversation with all the guests, a really nice touch. Breakfast was good too.

Plussat: Good breakfast if you didn’t have hot food.

Miinukset: Cold bacon and eggs. Room was small so not much space to move about in. Lights seemed to be on the blink and one didn’t work for quite a while.

Plussat: Location and off street parking

Miinukset: In room facilities could be better. Shower floor needs a non slip surface.

Plussat: Good hotel for cycle tourists. Free bicycle parking that is lockable. Elevator. Big rooms.

Plussat: Delphine at reception could not have been more helpful and the hotel is lovely. Situated a short stroll from the seafront and very handy for shops, restaurants and bars. Our room had a balcony with a small glimpse of the sea. Very comfortable bed and comfortable climate. Arcachon is a charming, friendly town and will definitely be returning

Plussat: Location, close to the train, shopping and restaurants. But also quiet. Comfortable room with good blinds

Plussat: Good and friendly and English speaking service staff. Located close to the beach and the city center but despite this, very silent. The hotel is on a modern level, only ‚weak‘ point are the small rooms.

Miinukset: The small rooms

Plussat: Location, very clean room with private balcony facing water. Good bed, excellent shower, nice terrace

Miinukset: Room is too small. Elevator does not go to the 5 th floor - only to the 4 th and then stairs. With luggage is very inconvenient and no one offered to help.

Plussat: + very good location

Plussat: The breakfast was exceptional and convenient. The staff were gracious to let me play the piano. It was in tune, with a beautiful tone and a nice, eve touch with a good recovery.

Miinukset: I am sorry I was not able to allot more time to Arcachon. The seafood was excellent and close at hand. Everyone I dealt with was gracious and helpful. I can’t wait to return!

Plussat: Location, breakfast choice, decor, staff, everything!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Everything was great.

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Excellent location, staff were very pleasant and helpful and had excellent English

Miinukset: Expensive for what it offers

Plussat: Hotelli oli moderni ja huone kuin minkä tahansa maan tai kaupungin hotellihuone. Sijainti aivan rannassa ravintoloiden vieressä.

Miinukset: Vielä kuukausi hotelliyöstä luottotililläni on edelleen hotellin pidättämä varausmaksu rasittamassa luottomäärää!! Olin yhteydessä hotelliin parin viikon päästä. Ei vaikutusta. One month after my stay at the hotel, the deposit of one night's stay reserved by the hotel has not disappeared from my credit account! After two weeks from my stay I contacted the hotel but they could not help. Or did not know how to cancel the deposit. So beware!

Plussat: The hotel was very clean and nicely presented. The rooms are quite modern, however all the facilities were well appointed within the room. The breakfast was very nice, a great selection to start the day.

Miinukset: Nothing really, it would have been nice if there was a bar in the hotel, just to grab a drink before you go out or when you return.

Plussat: Le B is the perfect place to stay in Arcachon, a very nice hotel overall. The location is just perfect, the beach is literally around the corner. The hotel staff is simply amazing, very pleasant and helpful. Ladies at the reception were going out of their way to make the stay comfortable. The room was very clean, comfortable and very nice looking.  There are plenty of decent cafes and restaurants in the area as well as a supermarket nearby. The beach was clean and completely free to use.  The water was warm and clear but not as clear as in the Dune du Pilat area, which I would recommend visiting.  There were bikes available for rent in the hotel so we used this opportunity to take a ride around the town and along the coast line.  I would recommend Le B d'Arcachon to both couples and families. Simply amazing!

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: The breakfast was ok. Not a lot of varieties

Miinukset: The cleanliness of the room

Plussat: Huone oli tilava ja siisti, aamiainen oli monipuolinen.

Miinukset: Suihkutilan mentyä tukkoon sitä ei korjattu, useista pyynnöistä huolimatta.

Plussat: The rooms are well decorated and clean. The breakfast is delicious.

Plussat: The location is perfect

Plussat: Very comfy bed and peaceful

Miinukset: The decor

Plussat: The spa was outstanding. The staff was extremely accommodating.

Miinukset: They should charge more and include breakfast. Also on weekends they should keep the bar open later.

Plussat: Overall a convinient and confortable place to relax .

Miinukset: We were disappointed in all aspects about the restaurant where we had dinner the day of arrival.Obviously the staff’s first priorité is to finish work asap ,commencing at 09:20 to réarrange ,with uncomfortable noise ,the tables & chairs for the upcoming breakfast . After a reminder about the pending dessert and further 40 minutes waiting we just left the Restaurant. In fact there are nice Restaurants in the vicinity of the Hotel which we enjoyed the following days. PS I am personally Not opposed to women wearing a Burkini ,which happened in the inner Pool area to the surprise of many People,but find it strange to see at the same time restrictive access conditions for Men e.g. no shorts etc.

Plussat: Friendly, helpful staff, very good breakfast buffet, and great pool (salty water, though). Room and bed were clean and very comfortable and the shower was great. It is not very near the town centre, but a short walk to the beach. The hotel's wellness center is also great.

Plussat: Erinomainen kylpylähotelli lähellä Atlantin rantaa. Ystävällinen henkilökunta.

Miinukset: Ravintolan illallistarjoilu oli hieman suppea.

Plussat: Everything, including bike rental facilities

Plussat: ,Friendly staff especially Olivier at the reception, Excellent breakfast, very nice room, great indoor pool Easy parking

Miinukset: you need to keep in mind at the spa that when they say proper bathing suit they meen Speedo/Lycra.... I first came with swim suit shorts but was only allowed into the outside pool which was freezing so had to buy this kind for the first time in my life:-)

Plussat: Pool

Miinukset: No glass in room

Miinukset: You can visit a spa centre with kids only from 18.45 till 20.00 and only with a very special trunks. Nobody informed us about it beforehand Everything in hotel is very overpriced, including food price, bevareges, rooms, etc..

Plussat: Comfortable and spacious room, with terrific bathrobes and shower. Great selection of coffee and teas waiting for us. Terrific location with respect to the beach and the pool. A beautiful place.

Miinukset: We had a view of the parking lot, which was not ideal. Also, the gate to the parking lot closes and it can take a while to figure out how to get in. There are many entrances to the spa and the entrance to the hotel could be better indicated.

Plussat: Apartments have very cosy patio, good facilities, fully equiped with all what you need, excelent location

Plussat: The owner was very friendly. The location was very good & the apartment was very cosy.

Miinukset: There is no private parking but public parking wasn't a problem.

Plussat: Great location and very well equipped apartment

Plussat: great location, nice room and good communication prior to checking in

Miinukset: It was a very hot night. we had a fan but without air conditioning we were unable to sleep

Plussat: The location is perfect, minutes from the farmers market, the center and the beach. Great shower (when there was hot water). Decent size one-bed flat. Well-equipped kitchen. Free laundry (and a great dryer). Good value for money considering the high accommodation prices in town.

Miinukset: No hot water on two out of three evenings. No free public parking nearby (unless you get lucky). No air-con, mosquitos when you open the window. Cheap linen and towels.

Plussat: The place was comfortable and well furnished with all the equipment one needs. The bath room was well appointed and the kitchen was very well furnished. The establishment was close to the centre of Arcachon and easily accessible

Miinukset: No English TV channels in the midst of a European election !!! Some concern about the security of street parking

Miinukset: Pas de place privative parking .

Plussat: The gentleman running the property was very friendly.

Miinukset: The apartment was very dated. There was no comfort whatsoever the lounge area being two small bucket chairs in what was the lounge, kitchen/dining room which was cramped. The bedroom was also cramped as it had a double and a single bed in it. The beds seemed old. We didn't ask for a family room and would never have gone there if we had known. The shower tiles were cracked and bits missing out of them, We paid the same rate as the other apartments but when seeing the other apartments we were both very disappointed and cannot believe what we got (or should I say didn't get) for the same price.

Plussat: The location is great and the accommodation was a self contained flat with everything you need to prepare meals. Although at the time of booking we hadn't intended to make any, we ended up getting some bread and other stuff for some simple meals, we loved it. We arrived by motorbike and the manager let us park in the courtyard. Plenty of room in the apartment.

Miinukset: The manager wouldn't take payment until check out day which delayed our departure as he doesn't start while 9.00 am.

Plussat: The place was quiet and nice, wi fi was ok, the location was also good and the room was spacy enough. There was the balcony where we could sit. The bedlinen was clean.

Miinukset: The dishes were greasy, not clean, and from the fridge was the really very unpleasant smell, so we didn't use the kitchen and tried to eat outside.

Plussat: Excellent location + friendly and helpful staff

Plussat: Breakfast served in the room Very serviceminded staff

Plussat: Quiet location next to the beach, good sized balcony. Friendly accommodating staff. Comfortable beds and good shower.

Miinukset: Kettle in the room would have been nice. More comfortable patio furniture & poolside loungers

Plussat: Wonderful location, excellent room and easy parking. Stroll to beach on shaded path in summer, where there is an excellent bar with good food and views, right on beach. We walked into town too easy and enjoyed our stay here in summer.

Miinukset: Not air conditioned in our room and breakfast in the room is the same everyday, no choice I could see..but it was fresh and delivered so you could sit on your terrace and have it it,,minor really as the rest was very good

Miinukset: The dry heat seemed to affect the locks on the window/patio door, difficulty to open. Then shower wouldn't operate; jammed controls. New room allocated. Standard rooms with poor view facing north an then east. Mosquitos were active here and we were bitten heavily at veranda and in room. Breakfast room was in centre of building and very warm.

Plussat: Very polite helpful staff. Spotlessly clean and tidy hotel. Superb location. Good parking underneath the hotel.

Plussat: Good, plentiful breakfast selections, especially breads/pastries. Self-service coffee machine excellent. Room small, but comfortable and super-clean. Friendly, efficient staff.

Miinukset: This area of the city is terribly crowded during tourist season; finding a parking spot was very difficult and rather expensive (30 Euros for 18 hours).

Plussat: All was perfect

Plussat: The location was great

Plussat: Great staff Great location Good breakfast Beach towels provided

Plussat: Good location. Clean and recently refurbished. Very friendly and helpful staff.

Miinukset: All the rooms were noisy until midnight with all the activity on the waterfront. Not a reason to not stay but be aware if you like an early quiet night.

Plussat: Ihana aamiainen!

Miinukset: wc:n liukuovi - olisi saanut olla oikea ovi.

Plussat: Suite we booked was excellent - very spacious and nice decor. Location is right at the pier/beach and extremely central for town. Staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: Minor problem with a leaking sink in the bathroom ... corridors were narrow and a bit drab - could use a facelift. Biggest problem was parking .. only room for about 10 cars in their very small car park ... public car park down the street seemed to be permanently full and street parking very difficult to find ... parking in Arcachon in general is difficult ... far too many cars in the summer period ..

Plussat: Hotel staff was fabulous. We were upgraded to a room with a balcony & ocean view. Great cosy boutique hôtel vibe. Fab!

Plussat: Everything : Location, cleanliness, friendly and helpful staff.

Plussat: Great location , good personell , Nice breakfast.

Plussat: Great staff great room great location

Plussat: Homey, nice room, location is great. Boutique hotel with great character

Miinukset: Too expensive for the season

Plussat: Open and warm welcome. Super breakfast. Renting a bike within the establishment. Location a bit out of the city center has it's advantage in finding a more quiet beach (just watch out when it's high tide). Plenty of brochures are available to find out fast what's happening nearby. Private parking was very practical.

Miinukset: During warmer nights, an air conditioner would be handy. But the fan that's already on the ceiling does a good job for now.

Plussat: The stylish decor, the bathroom & shower, good location near beach and town centre with easy access to Pyla, the breakfast

Miinukset: Dark inside, no air con, lacked atmosphere, more of a bed & breakfast than a hotel

Plussat: Location and ambiance

Miinukset: No door between room and bathroom

Plussat: N/A

Miinukset: Advertised as 4 star hotel with bar & restaurant which were closed during our stay. Rooms said to have a garden or sea view but ours looked out over the car park. Toiletries were limited - no soap, one partial toilet roll. Initial welcome was poor; WiFi information incorrect and no information about the bar & restaurant being closed on a Friday evening. I emailed the hotel re this on the Friday evening but no response and when checking out we were not asked if we enjoyed our stay. Host/Owner was not interested in receiving any feedback - just shrugged, begrudgingly said sorry and that we had to pay regardless of value for money. No effort to accept any shortcomings.

Plussat: Everything was nice!

Plussat: a very nice boutique hotel. Very charmy, incredible breakfast.

Plussat: The breakfast, for 14 euros, was amazing! Very hardy and lots to choose from. Great vibe, very vintage with old jazz playing on the iPad. Room was perfect for the one night we were there.

Miinukset: The only thing we didn’t like was the lack of a door on the bathroom (there’s just a curtain that’s pretty sheer) so not much privacy.

Plussat: Great design of hotel and rooms, very Copenhagen / Nordic), very nice owners, very quite and close tio beach, excellent breakfast

Plussat: Perfectly situated close to the beach. If you like comfy interior design this is the place. GREAT breakfast!

Miinukset: Pricy restaurant.

Plussat: Good views across the basin! Nice breakfast!

Plussat: Nice breakfast, nice quiet place off the main tourist chaos. Good shower and bathroom and nice little balcony

Miinukset: No black out curtains

Plussat: The room was a little bit of luxury: an oasis from the melee of Arcachon central, with fresh linens, wonderful air con, extras like peppermint tea and hot chocolate, and lovely bathroom toiletries. This was the most comfortable bed of our holiday - fabulous! The balcony was a great bonus, with a sea view. The solarium, with loungers and gym equipment, as well as an outside shower and view of the marina, was a lovely surprise! Breakfast was a fine spread. The staff were more than helpful, allowing us to store luggage from early in the morning of our stay, and again late on the day we left. They were happy to let us use the solarium shower after checking out and on return from the beach - and even gave us a fresh towel! Couldn’t have been happier.

Miinukset: The breakfast staff (one person) needed more help.

Plussat: Henkilökunta tilantee tasalla jatkaessamme majoitusta.

Plussat: Room. Location. Breakfast

Plussat: ???

Miinukset: Palvelu Suihku rikki Ei mitään hyvitystä, ehdotin 10 € parkkipaikan hyvitystä mutta ei

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: Room too small for the price...Plus they gave us next to a road so noisy!!!

Plussat: Roof terrace where you can have your breakfast.

Miinukset: At breakfast the dishs wheren’t very clean, you’re gone find a lot of sweet products to eat and only a tasteless omelet, but that’s the way they eat in France a lot of sugure at breakfast.

Plussat: The location was excellent, staff extremely helpful and friendly.

Miinukset: The breakfast was very expensive at €12, choice of cereal was cornflakes and some kind of chocolate cereal, very disappointed that there was no fresh fruit, apart from some very old oranges .

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: - expensive for what you get - old interior decoration

Room on top floor had a great view, and a small balcony with a table and 2 chairs. Good on-site parking. One block from seafront, and a bike hire shop just along the street. Comfy bed.

Miinukset: No fridge, which is handy if you're staying a couple of days, and no comfortable chair in the room. No restaurant in house, but as stated many nearby. Everything OK, just a bit basic.

Plussat: Location; bike garage ; value for money

Miinukset: My room was slightly smelling; seems to be an old hotel with some refurbishments but not too much

Plussat: Nice and clean

Miinukset: The room was a bit small..the breakfast was ok but 11 euros seemed to be overpriced , if you travel with big suitcases the room could be too small

Plussat: Very nice hotel, near the port but a bit far from city center. It was actually an advantage providing quiet stay and pleasant walks

Plussat: The room was well designed, the bathroom shower was excellent, and the staff were very helpful.

Miinukset: The parking spaces were very very tight.

Plussat: nice place Walk to the beach in 5~6 minutes Comfortable and quite

Plussat: Bedroom a good size for a budget hotel. Staff friendly

Miinukset: Breakfast options a bit limited - for example only one choice of cereal

Plussat: The view from our 4th floor, harbour side room would have been good if the weather had obliged!

Miinukset: Decor dated. Staff were subdued. The bar/breakfast area was a bit souless. And although there could be many restaurants open in the area, on a wet Sunday night in October there were few - it would have been nice if either the hotel made available a few dishes or helped guests order food to be brought in to the hotel from the nearby pizaa take away etc. Breakfast was adequate.

Plussat: the location and terrace overlooking the marina

Miinukset: on the second night the next door room was very noisy

Plussat: Room and balcony and parking were fine, would have liked sea viiew instead of back houses etc.Service was fine too.

Miinukset: No tea making facilities in room - for cost would have expected this at leat.

Miinukset: did not think the breakfast was worth €8,would like more choice

Plussat: Helpful staff. Tidy. Good value. Nice view from the room.

Miinukset:

Plussat: excellent location close to port and not too far from beach

Miinukset:

Plussat: Staff very pleasant & not patronising over my poor french - big plus point

Miinukset: The air conditioning appeared erratic, no tea/coffee making facilities in the room, decor needs updating.

Plussat: Beautiful and windy city, very clean, very French in attendance. I was kluck to have an affordable hotel right down town, near the water and all else.

Miinukset: Info could have been provided about service of lunch or any dinner beyond 2PM on Sundays.

Plussat: The hotel was easy to find, the staff were all excellent and the facilities were over and above the standard that I expected for a hotel within this price range. We had a beautiful room, with a balcony overlooking a harbour for less than £40 a night. I have already booked in for another stay later on this year.

Miinukset:

Plussat: Is ideal location

Miinukset: Expensive for the facilities they provide Breakfast is not value of many Clean less, lot of insects in the room spiders , cockaraches , net spiders every corner in the room. Toilette flash not working properly.

Plussat: Close to town centre

Plussat: The studio has been renovated and was well equipped. Very quiet and pleasant atmosphere.

Miinukset: No AC.

Plussat: It was a very nice building and the surrounding was Beautiful. The room was nice and bigger than expected.

Miinukset: For me it is very important to have a soundproofing room. ANd it said, that it is soundproof. Sadly i got to hear everything my neighbors did. Sneezing, coughing , TV etc. a litle Detail: it also said Toilettpaper inclusive, that means to me, that it is included the whole week. But they offer only one roll and with that thin paper we had to search for a store the very next day...

Plussat: Grandeur in the heart of the Ville d'Hiver.

Miinukset: The reception was closed from midday to 3 pm so when we arrived there was nowhere safe to leave our cases and the mobile number on the door didn't answer. I left a message to which no one replied. Luckily a kind member of the cleaning staff unlocked the reception area for us. The hotel needs some serious investment. We had a one bedroom apartment and there was not even a kettle or hairdryer. I was able to borrow these when I asked, but they should be standard.

Plussat: Staff were friendly but not around when needed

Miinukset: No clean towels, No food or drinking facilities after breakfast, Nobody available to book a cab for us. Old building in dire need of upgrading. We booked a double..got twin beds pushed together

Plussat: Charming neighbourhood with traditional arcachonnaise houses, and a nice park nearby with an elevator going down to the city centre.

Miinukset: We spent 5 nights here during Easter. There were no chairs to sit outside on the big terrazza to enjoy the nice weather which was quite disappointing, I asked the staff if we could sit outside but was told that they didn't have any chairs available. The hotel was a bit subjected to years of wear and tear but still charming.

Plussat: The area is extremely nice. The hotel was very quiet and the rooms seem renovated 1-2 years ago.

Plussat: very quiet, nice sized room and we enjoyed the pool

Miinukset: it was possibly a little further from the restaurants than we thought. The steps did keep us fit :)

Plussat: Great location

Miinukset: Never once emptied our bins or changed the towels

Plussat: Small studio shabby very small bathroom, had to rest arms on toilet when sat. No work prep surface in kitchen all very dirty and very bad smell from toilet. Tried to change accommodation but none available

Miinukset: Everything was bad accept the sheets were clean. IF THEIR HAD BEEN AFIRE WE WOULD HAVE BEEN TRAPPED. NO FIRE INSTRUCTIONS

Plussat: Very close to town. Quiet. Good parking. Well equipped kitchen. Separate bidet.

Miinukset: Synthetic covering on mattress

Plussat: 1 night stay . Really central area at walking distance from seaside . Big apartments for the price. Shops and restaurants nearby. Parking included

Plussat: Superb location

Miinukset: Very cramped. No comfortable seating inside.

Plussat: The location was very central, the staff were friendly and helpful.

Miinukset: The beds were firm which did not suit us but may suit others. Room was noisy when windows open due to being on a main road.

Plussat: Only few minutes from the beach, very central. Big room / apartment

Plussat: Double bed in apartment was extremely uncomfortable for me. I had a stiff back and neck all the next day. My son's single bed was comfortable for him he said

Miinukset: Just bed issue

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Too noisy.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: One roll of toilet paper

Plussat: Staff very friendly and patient. Always greeted with a smile. Great location: In front of the beach and a short walk from restaurants. Sufficient parking space for free. Was not the season but swimming pool would have been a treat if weather/temperature had permitted. Room overlooking the beach and Arcachon bay. Room was clean with all amenities. Good breakfast!

Miinukset: Lobby and corridors a bit old but does not affect the overall experience at all. Overall, a good hotel!

Plussat: Nothing

Miinukset: They didn't consider the kid on the booking and they asked us to pay 30€ extra per night. Moreover, SONA and JACCUSI are extra (not informed during reservation) and way way over priced. When checking out, they told we have to pay jaccusi and Sona separately (not informed when purchasing the service). People are extremely rude, hotel is old, not confortable, NOT AT ALL ACCORDING to the described image. Way too expensive for the given service. Just don't go.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: There is a problem with toilet, the water is flowing constantly, and in the bath the water is changing constantly, impossible to regulate it for one normal temperature.

Plussat: Beautiful building and location. The pool was fantastic right on the beach. Great place for me and my family to stay. We'd come again.

Plussat: The hotel was gorgeous and the room was a great size. The balcony was fab and had gorgeous views overlooking the pool and the beautiful beach.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: The hotel is in a great location. A bit old fashioned in style but nice. We liked it. Easy walking distance to restaurants and town center. Right on the beach.

Miinukset: The en suite in our room was in need of a bit of work. It was obvious that the shower had been over the bath previously. There was no fitting on the wall so it had to be hand held. A bit of a pain. The electrical trunking in the w/c was held together with tape. This was not a show stopper for us but it is why we did not give the hotel an excellent.

Plussat: Good location Bedroom good Great view

Miinukset: Jacuzzi not working. In September the sea view side of the hotel receives no sun during the day so the pool and sun terrace can’t be used. Pool is so cold it would only suit an athlete as an ice bath Breakfast expensive Toilet and bathroom very tired and outdated

Plussat: Pool. Stores close by. The promenade

Miinukset: No refrigerator.

Plussat: Pool facing the sea Friendly staff

Plussat: Everything was perfect!!

Miinukset: We had to wait until 3pm to access the room (check in)

Plussat: Ihana merinäköala, hyvä sijainti.

Miinukset: Jääkaappi olisi ollut tarpeellinen huoneessa. Juomalaseja puuttui.

Miinukset: Wi-fi intermittent. In the room most of the time it was non existent. Inside toilet door-handle did not open the door hence it had to be kept open. The problem was reported on the first day but the problem was never solved during our stay.

Plussat: A delightful hotel. We had a nice large room over looking the town. The reception staff were extremely helpful and friendly throughout. We were able to park at the hotel very easily. The breakfast was good value and beautifully laid out in buffet style. The hotel has the best view of the bay as direct access on to beach. I'd love to come back and spend more time there as one night in Arcachon was not enough. The hotel is approx 10-15 min walk out of town but definitely worth it. Thank you!

Miinukset: No complaints!

Plussat: Great location and very friendly staff.

Miinukset: The parking lot is not enough for all the hotel customers.

Plussat: comfy bed, big bathrooms, welcoming staff and super view of the bay, access to the beach and with jacuzzi outside. City center is 5 min walk, quiet area.

Miinukset: Nothing, all good

Plussat: We enjoyed the magnificent sunset from the terrace, with a glass of sparkling wine. From the terrace we could directly step down to the beach

Plussat: Location location location with the best hotel stsff in France. Need any more be said???

Plussat: Direct access to the beach at low tide, helpful staff, tidy room.

Miinukset: A little way to the town

Plussat: The view and location

Miinukset: Need a huge makeover. Specially the room and the reception .

Plussat: Friendly Staff

Miinukset: There was nothing I didn't like about hotel

Plussat: Lovely and clean, comfy bed and pillows, very friendly and helpful staff, great garden for breakfast.

Miinukset: Lack of personality at reception and help at reception desk.

Plussat: Le Dauphin had a great location a short walk away from the beach. The room was modern and clean. The staff was friendly and helpful. The free parking was an added bonus

Plussat: Air conditioning position of the hotel was good

Miinukset: Staff ,we arrived early were told come back at 3 that’s ok I booked a car space went through the front door was then told we can park if there is a space available yay there was one ,we then asked where to bring luggage in she pointed to the front door up narrow staircase the next day we found a side entry door to car park less stairs and close to the car. Rooms are small small.small .This is my first bad review in over 200 rooms, Photos look good but Hotel does not deliver.

Plussat: Good position within easy walk of the seafront Clean Good breakfast

Miinukset: Rather tired pool area

Plussat: Siisti, hyvällä paikalla. Edullinen

Plussat: Dissent size bathroom, the rest is away below the expectations.

Miinukset: Terrible soundproofing. Stay away from the room next to the stairs(I think it’s 408, don’t remember for sure). You will hear everything and everyone going back and force (I think I averaged 5 hours of sleep per night max). Tried to watch TV while other guests were coming in and out in flip-flops till 1:30am or smth, but the sattelight signal was breaking all the time. By the way, Internet connection will require re-entering your email every time you want to go online, don’t expect “remember me” check-mark to change a thing, it won’t. Feel free to complain about the noises to staff, they don’t care, won’t even say that they sorry.

Miinukset: Beds were a little small!

Plussat: 50 from station. 1km from anything else. Pool ok. Trees nice seat in reception very nice

Miinukset: No restaurant No bar No water Room not big enough for cat swinging Smallest I have ever stayed in and I sell children’s garden homes

Plussat: Location and parking

Miinukset: Very dingy inside and in need of update

Plussat: Charming place, 10 min walk to center and beaches

Miinukset: Narrow double bed & small rooms. No bar allthough they hav 24 hrs reception

Plussat: The outside facade is gorgeous. The pool and communal terrace were an added bonus. Great location.

Miinukset: The room was very compact. Difficult for 2 people to get around. Would have been nice to have a kettle and small fridge in the room. Pity the outside is better than the inside.

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Location and expense of parking.

Miinukset: Old fashioned and no frills -An expensive hotel that was a poor standard

Plussat: Great location near beach

Miinukset: Parking very tricky for long periods. Book ahead

Plussat: Location was very good, opposite Casino. We had spacious family room, with separate room for our 9yo child.

Miinukset: Room was dated and bit bizarre eg wardrobe in bathroom. Staff were unfriendly and unprofessional. There was no hot water for duration of our stay but staff did not care “we know” and not even apology. At end of stay negotiated €15 discount (free parking) but still no apology.

Miinukset: In our rental agreement was a climatized room. Its a very old hotel with broken air cons, and you cannot use it. Other side, personal doesnt want to talk with you about that you already pay for climatized room, and they give you room with broken air con. No any compensation, no word for apologyze - hotel personal told, that is not his problem and they cannot and dont want to solve it. Based on personal word, more than 90% of air con broken. You can see on picture - air con control doesnt switch into cooling position. And after 2 hours i convinced staff for bring mobile air con in my room. Humidity in hotel is very high and they use fan against it. fungus and rust everywhere

Plussat: Well located for access to beach and local amenities.

Miinukset: Breakfast consisted more of sweet fare than breakfast( continental) . Minimal hot choice and fruit. Second morning- no hot. water and no offer of rebate!!!

Plussat: Location close to the beach.

Miinukset: Breakfast was very poor. WiFi did not work properly, the only one place with dissent connection was toilet! Staff at the reception was not very friendly, some of them simply don't speak English.

Plussat: The location

Miinukset: T

Plussat: Location

Miinukset: Wifi is really poor, shower head was loose

Plussat: Great location. 100m from train station. Nice rooms with balcony overlooking main street. Decent breakfast. Owner let me park the bike in the reception area at night which I greatly appreciated.

Miinukset: Parking not easy but this is not the fault of the hotel

Plussat: Great location good value for money

Miinukset: No air conditioning in rooms Rooms dated

Plussat: Really close to town centre and the beaches.

Miinukset: No parking at the hostel, but opportunities to park close by (paying) or a little further away for free.

Plussat: Friendly staff and a wonderful location. The key system is good and secure. Overall security is pretty decent. Location of hotel is perfect, close to everything you will need. If you're planning to stay most things are quite cheap so you'll find yourself buying a lot of things.

Miinukset: Bed was hard, breakfast costed 8 Euro, Shower needed repairs. Me and my partner heard sex multiple times (thin walls). Mediocre cleaning. If you stay here for more than a week you will become bored; stay for maximum 3-5 days since a tax is added of 4.31 Euro so be careful. Don't eat the breakfast (it adds tax). NO WIFI! "it was broken"

Plussat: Perfect location, friendly staff

Plussat: Good location close to downtown, the train station, and the beach. Lots of restaurants nearby. The room was basic but adequate.

Plussat: Good location next to the railway station and Tourist Office.

Miinukset: Wi-Fi was not working during our stay.

Plussat: Situated between the station and the beach line.

Miinukset: Rooms deserve to be renovated asap, equipment is quite dilapidated.

Plussat: - Great location : 2 mins from the train station and 7 mins from the beach - Friendly and helpful staff - Clean rooms - Good breakfast

Miinukset: - Rooms should be equipped with a fridge or a minibar - Walls and furniture should be renovated
