Cherbourg-Octeville hotellia

Plussat: The breakfast was beautifully presented and we were accommodated with an early breakfast, which was good of them. The room was truly exceptional, spotlessly clean and the décor was stunning. A football team could sleep in the double bed it was huge. The sheets were clean and the bed very comfy. Huge bath, separate shower and toiletries provided. It was lovely and warm inside despite the huge room and the welcome was wonderful.

Miinukset: A cooked breakfast option would have been nice, although the bread and croissants were fresh and delicious. You need to be able bodied to get to the bedrooms, as these are accessed via a stone spiral staircase, which is enchanting and incredibly impressive, but if you struggle with stairs this may prove difficult. I don't know if they have ground floor bedrooms, you would have to enquire.

Miinukset: It was an exceptional place to stay. Very welcoming hosts, fantastic breakfast and peaceful and beautiful country house and gardens. We hope to return soon.

Plussat: The hotel is an elegant old stone building located in a peaceful quiet setting among trees and a grassy field. The periphery of the property was lined with several other original stone buildings, including a barn. The property is about a 10 minute drive outside Cherbourg so a taxi or an Uber is needed if you don't have a car. The owner graciously offered to drive us back to town the next morning. Every detail was thought through. The whole property was in perfect condition and was beautifully decorated. The room was large. The bathroom was nearly as big as the bedroom and appeared to have been recently and tastefully remodeled. The stay included breakfast with fresh fruit, crepes, various beads, hard boiled eggs, yogurts, etc.

Miinukset: The hotel was perfect, but taxis and Ubers were a bit sparse in Cherbourg so it was a bit of a challenge getting to the hotel (we did not have a car on this trip).

Plussat: Stunning manor house. Excellent hosts. Great room. Great breakfast

Plussat: Very welcoming.

Plussat: Beautiful and charming location a bit out of town. The host could not be more accommodating and their choice of decor and furniture is impeccable. Certainly a place we would stay in again.

Miinukset: Would have preferred to stay longer !

Plussat: This is a great place to stay, it is delightful. The hosts are lovely and their attention to detail was extremely pleasing. The beds were very comfortable, the bed linen understated and good quality. Small things, for example, the nighttime water carafes were lovely and very thoughtful. The bathroom fittings were excellent and the products provided were generous and nice to use. Everything in both the bedroom and the bathroom felt super clean.The Cotentin Peninsula is worth exploring, there are some gorgeous and places to visit and lots of history to discover. The Manoir is only a few minutes drive from the ferry but once there is a haven of peace and tranquility and makes an excellent base to tour the area.Breakfast was well worth a mention, again the attention to detail is pleasing. The food offered is all delicious with just the right amount of choice for us. I enjoyed the Handel playing in the background too. We wouldn't hesitate to stay here again and will choose the Cherbourg route next time we visit France so that we can.

Miinukset: No criticism to make.

Plussat: Everything except the selection of food was excellent.I would return.

Miinukset: The restaurant did not have available 50% of what was on the menu at 9pm on a Saturday night resulting in a poor selection of food. Staff say that it is pre prepared so no flexibility.

Plussat: Great welcome and very friendly, obliging and helpful staff in all areas of the hotel. Beautiful room, comfortable bed and pillows. Restaurant was great for supper, even our 3 year old grandson managed all his adult dinner it was so good. Breakfast had an excellent selection, and was very good. Will return again.

Plussat: The staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The view from the bedroom's wall of glass were amazing..

Plussat: The staff went out of their way to decorate the room as a surprise anniversary present - which was wonderful!

Miinukset: The air conditioning didn’t work in the room.

Plussat: Very pleasant business hotel with friendly reception. The hotel is at the harbour close to the centre and within wlaking distance of the interesting La Cité de la Mer. My room was nice and clean with coffee and tea making facilities. Free WiFi internet worked well Being on the west side of the 6th floor I had a nice view over the city towards the sea. The breakfast buffet was great with a special counter for all sorts of eggs

Plussat: Reasonably central and a personal approach. Very welcoming and helpful.

Miinukset: The road works outside but they were temporary and made it easier to park!

Plussat: Parking on the street near the hotel wasn't a problem but if it had been a lockable parking place was on offer. The owner was very friendly and recommended a very good fish restaurant in the centre of Cherbourg. The hotel had character. Good location, easy drive to the port to catch the early morning ferry.

Miinukset: Nothing really the hotel matched my expectations.

Plussat: Owners and location

Miinukset: Absolutely nothing

Plussat: Lots of choice of restaurants nearby.

Plussat: Hotel is in a quiet residential neighborhood within walking distance of some nice restaurants. There are also some markets and bakeries close by. The hotel is very quaint and homey. The hosts made us feel welcome from the moment we got there. The hotel has a cheery breakfast room as well as a small sitting room with frig and coffee maker that guests can use. Breakfasts were generous: coffee, juice, pastries, bread, cheese, organic eggs and home-made yogurt. Hosts were very friendly and helpful. This was our favorite hotel during our trip to France. We were very comfortable there and would stay there again if we ever go back.

Plussat: Comfortable, friendly & helpful hosts, great location, excellent breakfast.

Miinukset: Nothing!

Plussat: Everything! A beautiful and updated room with some classic touches overlooking a beautiful town square. Just a block from the ocean. Friendly owners!

Plussat: The room was small but comfortable . SUPER CLEAN ! At night the room was very quiet , even while having a window open . Bed was very comfortable , pillows were fantastic . The owners are super cool , very mellow vibe

Miinukset: Breakfast could have used more protein ...

Plussat: From the moment we arrived we were looked after so well the location of the hotel is so central

Plussat: Great Location and very comfortable, the owner was very kind

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Central location. Garage parking is a great facility. I

Plussat: This hotel is in a very convenient location for the town centre. I was in a room at the back and it was very quiet. The WiFi works very well - I had work to do and so I appreciated that. My room had a bath, and I also appreciated that. Both the bathroom and bedroom were pretty spacious and very clean. There was a kettle and some tea/coffee sachets in my room, as well as a hairdryer. I booked last minute but still got a promotional price. There is a lift. I arrived before the normal check-in time, but there was a room ready for me straight away. All staff were friendly. I have stayed here before in the past and thought it was good. Breakfast was an abundant, self-service buffet, which I thought was reasonable value for money.

Miinukset: There was nothing I didn't like.

Plussat: Always stay here, love it. Surrounded by restaurants all walking distance comfy rooms, good breakfast, garage for bikes or cars, all good!

Miinukset: Nothing

Plussat: Very clean. Great location. Staff very pleasant and helpful.

Miinukset: Nothing. All was great. I’ll be back.

Plussat: Very clean and great walking distance to the bars and restaurants

Miinukset: N/a

Plussat: Staff very friendly and helpful. Location excellent for the ferry.

Miinukset: Noisy room with little sound protection from outside

Plussat: Central location. Near restaurants and port.

Miinukset: Squeaky floor in bedroom really loud. Breakfast on a plate instead of a breakfast buffet, only one slice of ham and one small slice of cheese.

Plussat: Parking my car in a secure garage. Very close to shops restaurants. Good veiw and very close to ferry terminal... 5 minutes.

Miinukset: Nothing all was good k

Plussat: Very helpful friendly staff. Good location for the Ferry Port. Continental Breakfast is extra but you get loads.

Plussat: Please note that this 2 star hotel needn’t be judged by first looks or the fact it’s only 2 star... Close to the Cherbourg port, literally 3 or 4 mins drive.....close to restaurants and bars, clean and tidy, breakfast was a French one, baguette, cheese, ham, yogurts, croissant and coffee plus juices and nuts and fruit to choose from as well as cereals...lovely helpful staff, secure garage to use for £6 a night off road and enclosed with locked garage doors!!! Handy as we had a Vw transporter from camping!! Helpful knowledgeable staff to guide us to visit the area, citi de la mer was definitely a great option to visit the submarine, story of the titanic and a great aquarium!! £60 for all day was great value with restaurant and snack bar within the premises...plentiful hot water for a bath/shower and nice towels.

Miinukset: Nothing really, a bit dated but really did not affect our stay...

Plussat: Very nice hotel close to the centre. Hotel owner couldn't have been more helpful or nice. Lovely spacious room with bath/sower ensuite. very clean and comfortable. Whilst there is some traffic noise in the day (we are in a city), at night it is quiet enough. You have to have the windows closed at night = but in the summer, have them open in the day with shutters down to keep the room cool, should be ok at night to have windows closed as it is an airy room with high ceilings. like a lot of hotels, this now has laminate floors - this means that you hear people clattering around in the room above. I prefer carpets as they help with sound insulation - but I know some people prefer laminate as it is easier to clean - swings and roundabouts. I was lucky that other guests seemed to go to bed at a reasonable hour, so was able to get a good night's sleep with the noise of their moving around stopping at a reasonable hour. Very considerate guests all round so people were not making a row and thoughtful of others. Saw some reviews complained of noise from people in the street making a racket - but this did not happen when i was there. The location is good and generally a quiet street near the church. All in all it was the perfect mini break. Hotel in excellent location for shops, harbour, restaurants. Staff excellent. Had been there before and would definitely use again.

Miinukset: Nothing. It is an old building and the floor boards very squeaky in parts - managed to avoid when late at night to avoid disturbing other guests.

Plussat: We stayed here for one night before our ferry departure. Grand little spot. 2mins walk from the quayside where there was a selection of restaurants. We had a family room right behind reception on the ground floor which was great. Comfortable, clean with all facilities and well presented. Plenty of space for our family of 5

Plussat: Perfect location for overnight stay and the most helpful and accomodating person in charge of all our stops during a month in France. Spotlessly clean.

Plussat: Bed was extremely comfortable. Shutters completely blocked traffic noise so quiet once dark.

Miinukset: Hadn't realised there was no lift and as I wanted a bath my room on third floor. Stairs not steep. Bath good but as I have a mobility problem found I couldn't turn over to get out. Neither was a non slip mat provided so improvised with dry towel.

Plussat: Nice breakfast and very friendly owners.

Plussat: hotel was 10 mins walk from port of cherbourg & la cite de la mer museum its also close to many cafes and restaurants the train station is roughly about 15 mins from the hotel walking the ferry terminal around 20 mins walking ..... the hotel itself is well run and clean the room i stayed in modern & a of a good size also the staff were rather helpful & very friendly

Plussat: Very welcoming friendly reception. Even helped carry our bags upstairs. Clean room. Shutters on windows. Lovely bar just over the road with every drink you could ever want.

Miinukset: Little far away from restaurants, but price reflects that and bar across the road is great for drinks. Could have done with tea and coffee making facilities. Wouldn't mind paying a bit extra for the option.

Plussat: The large room and the private bathroom with a bathtub. The location is not far from the city center and some restaurants and shops open late night nearby.

Miinukset: The WIFI did not work all night. I only stayed one day but no WIFI there. There was no spa button working for the private bathtub. The room image is gorgeous but some parts are not functioning.

Plussat: Handy location for ferry port. Hosts polite and helpful.

Miinukset: Bathroom ok, but could do with makeover.

Plussat: Good location. Good price. Clean room.

Plussat: The room, which was immaculate, had most things that I needed although a hair dryer would have been a bonus. The European breakfast was really good and catered for all tastes. We were warmly greeted, given the room key, breakfast times explained, and told the code needed if we were out late, as the gates closed at 23.00.

Miinukset: No need to put anything here. All was great.

Plussat: Restaurant in main hotel

Miinukset: No hairdryer

Plussat: Very pleased. Last minute booking due to ferry time change but pleasantly surprised. Ideal location for ferry.

Plussat: the breakfast was poor,and the price same.

Miinukset: something sausage bacon,eggs,sausage.

Plussat: We usually stay at this hotel as it is very close to the ferry terminal in Cherbourg that Stena goes from. They are excellent to help you, and the rooms are more up to date for the ibis hotels which is nice, some are a little larger also. The restaurant here is excellent with good choices, we had half B&B and we enjoyed the the menu that was on offer. They have a lovely little area with a TV where we managed to watch the Ireland/ scotland world cup rugby game, so that was great, and although we were surrounded by wee children as they have stuff there for them in this area it was not a problem. The carpark is very secure and is very near the big supermarket.

Plussat: Convenient location for the night before ferry crossing; close to shops we wished to use; predictably reliable Ibis standard.

Miinukset: No real negatives.

Plussat: Clean, comfortable, good facilities

Miinukset: More milk in room would be beneficial.

Plussat: They were great.

Miinukset: Would have liked a USB charging point in the room.

Plussat: Everything was perfect - As usual Ibis high standard - A place where you have for your money's worth

Miinukset: Small bathroom

Plussat: For a chain hotel, used as an overnight ferry stop, we were surprised how comfortable and quiet the room was. All was clean and tidy, with a very comfortable bed and tea and coffee making items supplied. The bathroom was a pod, surprisingly spacious, with a good sized walk in shower which worked very well. We ate dinner in the restaurant which offered a range of food, and which we both enjoyed. Ideal stopover and we will definitely stay here again.

Miinukset: All very good.

Plussat: Nice clean room. Great breakfast

Miinukset: The room was too warm for me and the thermostat could not be changed. Bad sleep. Dinner and service was regular.

Plussat: The room was clean and pleasant.

Miinukset: The restaurant was like an episode of Fawlty Towers. In the 20 minutes we waited to be given a menu we saw an a disagreement with a customer, one person delivered the wrong meal and decided to leave without ordering. We also stayed at the IBIS at Bilbao it is an exemplar!

Plussat: The hotel was as expected, basic and clean. It was okay for a night while waiting to take the ferry back to the UK. Breakfast was good and the front desk person was helpful in getting us a taxi.

Miinukset: The hotel had a very narrow staircase and our room was on the second floor, so it was difficult to get our suitcases up the stairs. Other than breakfast, there were no services offered as expected. But, we felt overall the overnight stay in Cherbourg was wasted because but there wasn't a lot to do or see in that area of Cherbourg.

Plussat: The lady & gentleman at reception were very helpful. The room & bathroom were very clean.

Miinukset: The stairs were positively lethal, especially as they were wet due to the rain, & very difficult with SMALL cases. It would have been helpful to know that the road ws closed as we were arriving by car.

Plussat: The lovely owner made sure we were comfortable in the room. The hotel is really near many restaurants. Breakfast is good, especially the coffee.

Plussat: Staff were very nice. Specifically the lady who was the responsable/manager. She told us where to find parking. And she borrowed us her phone charger for the night. The beds were comfortable. Room was clean, could do with modernisation but it was clean and comfortable so that was the most important. They had even set up a baby bed and changing table top for us in room so that was very nice of them. Location is great. right in city centre and less than 10 mins away that the ferry terminal. It was perfect for us for our overnight stay.

Miinukset: Parking Its on street parking and there isn't much on the hotel street. We had to go to park on another parking. It wasn't that far but we had a baby and small kids so parking on site would have been a bonus

Plussat: Good breakfast & location

Plussat: Charming hotel, very helpful and nice staff that made the stay in Cherbourg very nice for us. For example, we got early breakfast in order to be able to have "petit déjeuner" before taking the ferry, beside other help.

Plussat: Staff very friendly Bed good Bathroom good

Miinukset: Carpets grubby

Plussat: A bit apprehensive as the hotel didn't look as nice as the photo and there was a huge skip outside, however the manager was friendly and helpful enough to allay these fears.

Miinukset: flowers outside like in the photo

Plussat: A very typical French two star hotel, with lots of character and great value for money. Perfect for an overnight stay while waiting for the ferry. The room was very quiet and clean with a very comfortable bed. The room was small with a very small en-suite shower room, but very sufficient for the price.

Miinukset: The hotel was a little distance from the centre of town, however, it was within easy reach of several excellent restaurants and bars.

Plussat: A very friendly welcome to the hotel. The host was very helpful and looked after us well. Rooms were clean and comfortable.

Plussat: It offers basic but comfortable accomodation central to Cherbourg at a very competitive price. Breakfast is good and overnight parking in the Trinite car park is handy and free.

Miinukset: No negatives.

Plussat: Traditional french hotel, comfortable and clean. Very friendly and helpful owner
