We only stayed one night at the hotel to be close to the car ferry in the morning, but regardless of that it was a delight. The room was very fresh, clean and well equipped, and the bed and pillows very comfortable. Based only a very short walk from the beach, there were plenty of bars and restaurants to choose from for dinner, and it was only a short drive to a massive HyperU and many other things if we were going to stay longer. Check in was very smooth.

This hotel was a "Hidden gem" in our trip through the Northern France. It is a very nice family owned hotel.
It was clean, nice, well renovated place. From the location perspective it was also nice. It is a few minutes to the see, nice sand beach. Plenty of local and very authentic evening events.
If you want to have a good food - plenty of places around, and also the hotel offers you something special.
We had a nice chat with the owner, he purchased the fish for us and we had a very delicious dinner next evening.
want to have something delicious - talk to the owner.
If you need something - it is easy to purchase in the grocery store, which is in 2 min walk. It is not huge, still, essential items are available there.
Place is nice, quice, we could sleep with opened door enjoying nice fresh sea air during the night. (We were lucky, our room was in the back house of the hotel with no windows to the street.)
Parking was not an issue, there are two areas for the cars, completely free of charge, about 3 min walking distance.
Surprisingly, there is nothing we can find to pick on. All was good.
Room was relatively small, but this was ok for us. Size of the bed has compensated it with no issue.

It's a stylish and modern hotel on the main road - so easy to find and just a few minutes walk from Sword Beach - yet quiet and peaceful even in mid-summer. There's some free parking in front of the hotel and plenty more by the church.
My room was ultra-comfortable with a view over the town. The owners were charming and served a fine steak for dinner. Sadly, as I was catching an early ferry, there was no time for breakfast. The Brittany Ferries port of Ouistreham is only ten minutes drive away along the coast but it's worth staying a little longer to discover the D-Day historical sites and ancient cities such as Bayeux.
I always wish French hotels would install small fridges in the rooms so guests can chill water etc. But they hardly ever do. I'm sure your British guests would appreciate a kettle, mugs and tea/coffee supplies as well. That would make your little hotel perfect!

It was a decent sized room and the bathroom was good too, with a very good shower. It was nice and freshly decorated and looked good.
The duvet was way too heavy for the summer. Our room was at the front and it was very noisy with traffic and people outside shouting to each other. We just couldn't get much sleep.

Family owned, landlord had a very good command of English language. Close to the main street.
8.0 / 10.0
Excellent location, near the beach & restaurants/bars. The room was spotlessly clean. Bed very comfortable and the room was quiet considering it overlooked the main road. Shower really good.
Could have done with a kettle & tea making facilities and 1 small bottle of water wasn’t adequate for 2 people. Considering the properties we’ve stayed at before for the same price (with breakfast and the above included) we felt this hotel wasn’t as good value for money and this is reflected in our score.
9.0 / 10.0
Nice traditional hotel with friendly and helpful staff. Lion Sur Mer is a pleasant town and it's a short walk from the hotel down to one end of Sword Beach. Several restaurants nearby. The Manager offered to make us a meal. Just a 10 minute drive to the ferry. Good to be able to park right outside the hotel. We would be happy to stay there again.
Not a 'didn't like' because it's stated in the listing, but the standard double room is fairly small so I don't think I'd book it for multiple nights.

Beautiful family run hotel 5 minutes walk from the beach. Spotlessly clean. Friendly owners, lovely ambience. Quiet location, good choice of food for breakfast, adjacent to terrific local restaurant frequented by locals - serving moules and galettes. Our room overlooked a pretty quiet courtyard. Although small, its clever design (which is modern) meant we had everything we needed for our overnight stay. Less than 10 min drive from the ferry port. Already pre-booked for our next trip to France.

This is a very nice small hotel where we have stayed several times before catching the ferry at Ouisterham.
It is a perfect location for the ferry but also for exploring the pretty and interesting area.

The staff were extremely helfpul and friendly and helped us get parked just outside, as it was very busy time of day on the road by the hotel. Room was lovely and clean. Nice bar to have a drink, very close to beach front
We liked everything, but just a tip, if you go by car and have trouble finding somewhere to park, give the hotel a call and they will help you (or if you are more organised than me- give them a call the day before or something)

HIGHLY RECOMMEND ... Andre and his wife made our stay absolutely amazing, nothing was too much trouble for them, I loved the fact that you had a bar to sit in and relax after a hard day sightseeing. The beds were so comfy - I normally stay in a 4 star or higher as I love my luxury - the hotel, staff, food and atmosphere were better than most of places previously stayed. Will definitely be returning if we travel that way again. Close to beach and such a lovely clean town.
Thank you Andre and T you made our stay a wonderful experience.

very sweet little family run place, with charming old fashioned rooms—though the new owners said they’re going to update them. I look forward to returning and seeing what they’ve done ! great welcome from the family who runs the hotel, they seem to enjoy running the place. will definitely return!

Attractive village
The receptionist was rude and dismissive. Staff shortages meant that they could not be bothered to clean the room. it is a popular village, so I guess they do not need to try hard, but not to try at all was disappointing.
