Les Gens de Mer Le Havre

The rooms were big. The bathroom was a decent size

There were no tea making facilities and the whole place had a rather shabby appearance

The frienlyness and helpfulness of the staff

The hotel is very, very tired and needs a complete make over. Our bathroom was falling to bits and we thought the bedroom ceiling paint was going to flake on us over night. Breakfast was very limited on choice. Not impressed.

The staff were pleasant enough

Dirty and noisy through thin walls and ceiling. Shower was a disgrace - mould around shower tray, dirty curtain and smelling of mould - see pix. Wouldn’t go anywhere near it, had to wash in the sink. Bedroom wall grubby, corridor carpet stained and dirty, fire hydrant unattached. Most worrying, the stairs down to the ground floor at each end of the corridor led to locked doors. Can only imagine the panic if there had been a fire. We had to rely on a tiny lift, whose call button was broken with sharp edges. I appreciate this is a budget property but I would say avoid at all costs. It’s one redeeming feature is its location in the town centre, opposite the covered market
