I was early an the manager found a room ahead of time. He swapped me to first floor from second floor which was good because there is no lift and I am not brilliant on stairs.
I used the resaturant which I think is part of the same business, l"Ardoise. Excellent meal and service.

Location
Specifically asked for ground floor room as I’m disabled. They said ok. I arrived to find they have no ground floor rooms and I had to struggle up 2 flights of stairs. I shouldn’t have bothered as the room wasn’t worth the effort. A very tired hotel.

Position for the ferry. Clean and comfortable. We arrived late but had a phone call the day before giving concise check in instructions so all worked perfectly. Parked our car nearby.
No tea and coffee facilities in the room for early morning departures

The old building is beautiful!
Value for money does not sum it up enough!
The staff were extremely efficient and spoke amazing English, their attention to service was very good, they were extremely welcoming and very friendly.
For use regarding catching the early ferry (as we did) or coming from the ferry this is more than perfect.
The fact they are also pet friendly is an enormous bonus.
The onsite restaurant was extremely good quality serving lovely meals containing plentiful portions which were full of amazing flavour! again the restaurant was fantastic value for money!
Overall based upon value for money and efficiency and the staff I cannot fault this hotel.
Honestly there was very little not to like so I am being fussy!
Though we would not have required it on our stay tea facilities would be a nice touch, they already have WIFI and TV but tea/coffee making facilities would have added that extra, but I’m being fussy trying to put something into this box.
Again being fussy but a bit more serious, carpet in the rooms could help dampen the noise from rooms above. The beautiful old building has great charm but it is old with charm. Sadly we had some noisy people above us who disturbed our sleep, flushing the loo and having a shower at 1am, then dropping things, moving stuff around etc, etc we needed to be up at 5am! I feel carpet could have helped with that…… but it’s a pet friendly hotel so carpet could be an issue for the hotel!
PLEASE NOTE HOW THIS IS NOT A BAD REFLECTION upon the hotel itself but it’s something to consider as people can forget there are others in the rooms below them.

Close to the port, has a nice restaurant and staff very helpful.
Found it a bit difficult to get out in the morning. Still don’t know how I managed it

Location for late arrival is fine
Not a very warm welcome and rather unfriendly staff in the morning when you could find one resulted in us not staying for anticipated coffee and croissant

Location- 5 mins walk from the ferry.
Room was a bit tired and basic. Dining room was dominated by loud English conversations.

Near port. As I was arriving on late ferry they called to give me a code and room number a couple of days before.
Asked for kettle and hairdryer both available on request.
Compared to other hotels it is a fair price.
No tea and coffee in room

Very clean and staff extremely helpful. Great location for catching the ferry. Restaurant available but plenty to chose from in the vicinity .
Unfortunately toilet didn't work and was situated right next to bed. Shower room very small with handheld shower and no door. Walls very thin and could hear someone snoring all night

Good location. Large room for 4 people.
Huge balcony
Excellent location for the Ferry, beach and town centre.
Host was helpful.
Reception could do with a freshen up to make it more inviting.
No lift, so took a couple of trips up the stairs.with baggage.
Bedroom decor could do with a revamp. Dated but functional.

The hotel is so central with many restaurants to choose from, but we also ate at the hotel and the food was really good and value for money. We had breakfast which was very fresh with croissants and bread with tea, coffee, hot chocolate and fresh orange juice
nothing.

The stairs are extremely difficult for my husband . On second floor with no lift. Couldn’t offer us an alternative.

Great location and price for a one night stopover before getting an early ferry the next morning. Restaurants nearby. Staff friendly.
Some noise from traffic accessing ferry terminal.
Bikes parked in rear locked yard - a yard which was shared with the adjacent restaurant - although I was somewhat sceptical on safety in fact this worked out well.

Excellent communication and very helpful and friendly staff. It was clean and welcoming. Location is excellent if you’re needing the ferry.
I would have liked some more facilities like a bar or lounge.

The location was ideal for the ferry terminal
There was no air conditioning or fan available. The room was so hot it was impossible to sleep. Our room was on the top floor which may have made things worse. The hotel management can not be held responsible for the hot weather but they should at least be in a position to offer a fan. We will not stay again and cannot recommend this hotel.

Perfect for the late ferry into Ouistreham. 2 minutes from the port, and free parking in the street behind. Clean comfy room.
No kettle in the room. Been travelling all day, no staff on duty, and didn't want to go out looking for a drink.

Great location to get ferry early in the morning. No facility to have coffee early in the morning. Ok for an overnight. The food was lovely and the service very good. Room a bit old, tired... TV channels were not working properly.
kettle and coffee available in the room. Fresh coat of pain in the room, a bit old.

The closeness to the ferry port.
The unpleasant smell in corridors, there was only 2 small towels in the bathroom for 3 of us and no staff to get anymore. Uncomfortable beds and strange smell from the bedding. The shower wouldn’t stay in its holder and sprayed everywhere unless you held it.

The staff was very helpful and friendly. We arrived late from the ferry (22:00) and someone was waiting for the guests and helped us. The room was quiet, bright, clean and had large windows which made is easy to ventilate. The breakfast was good value for money. It was a very easy option as our ferry arrived in Ouistreham late in the evening. It’s close to the ferry, easy to reach by car and to park next to. It is also not too far from the beach and I could take my dog for a run along the sea in the morning before leaving.
Net curtains would be a good addition to the thick curtains so that you can get ready in the morning in natural light.

clean friendly and close to the port, close to places to eat and drink, easily accessible from boat and bus alike
very dated - 1970s colours and decor and a little scruffy, but very clean and friendly! I would stay again, there are beds and clean bathroom, so perfect for an early ferry the next day

L' Écailler, once I found it was a clean, well-appointed and convenient hotel to stay at. The staff went out of their way to help make my stay enjoyable. (I arrived very late but they were contactable and I was able to get into the hotel and my room without any trouble.)
