Very Good

Limited reception time. Bathroom smelt dank. Very high step to shower. Main benefit was close proximity to ferry.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities
This hotel is a budget friendly and convenient option for access to the ferry terminal. The rooms are basic but clean. The beds very comfortable and shower powerful! We were welcomed by very friendly and helpful staff. The bar and restaurant had a great choice and was well priced. Again staff were very friendly and helpful.
Over-priced. Very basic accommodation. Bedroom dirty - had not been cleaned under the bed. Bathroom floor sticky. Cockroach in bathroom and on landing. Apart from check-in (taking payment) no contact with staff.
I do stay here 3 times a year but it’s busy. I don’t expect to be remembered but I was and that is welcoming. Particularly good as a solo traveller. I feel looked after in le phare. Plus I enjoy the atmosphere and location when having supper. The rooms are very clean.
All male staff some of whom were very brusque and grumpy.

We stayed the night before a ferry crossing. Very convenient location, clean room and had everything you needed for a short stay. Not luxury, but perfectly sufficient
Clean with efficient pleasant staff. Very comfortable beds, mattresses seemed quite new. Good shower pressure. Nice to find a family room for 2 adults and 2 children. Good wifi. On the basic side and the room carpet was very tired but a fine place to stay.

Disliked: Room comfort
Super location for ferry, but several drawbacks.
Location spot on for overnighting before ferry crossing. Restaurant pretty good too. But our double room was comparatively small, as was the bed, with little room to move around the bed or room. No kettle, tea or coffee, nor water. Bathroom ok. Overall our 100 euro cost was, by normal French standards, well over the top.
Great location for the ferry port, basic room facilities but clean and comfortable beds
Amazing breakfast and friendly staff.. a Good one night stop over.
The receptionist on Saturday night was brilliant.
I wanted to make another reservation for August and immediately he took care of it
Food in the reception is very good and the beer ( Afligem) tasted even better after arriving from Tours. Very close to the D day beaches and Pegasus bridge
It's 5 minutes from Ferry terminal. Clean, has everything you want. Breakfast extra cost but very good. For early Ferry crossings its absolutely perfect.
Staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant and food was lovely.
The only minor point to mention, is that the bedrooms were a little cold and the radiators didn’t seem to be working.
We use this property as it is convenient for the ferry terminal. There are also restaurants nearby, so there is a choice for the evening. Polite, efficient check in and room is perfectly adequate for what we want and what we have paid.

Disliked: Cleanliness
Fine for a night, but dated.
We booked a room for one night. It is a quiet place to get some rest. The room was small and older. The bathroom was small, with a tiny shower and a soap dispenser near the sink for all washing purposes. We were assigned a top floor (attic) room with pitched ceilings, so one must watch where they are walking at night. The bed was comfortable, but rather small for two people. Altogether, the place wasn't particularly pretty, but a decent place to rest. The property offers a buffet breakfast for €9 per person, which we did not avail ourselves of.
