Hôtel du Phare

Awful hotel, not very clean and shocking attitude to guests. Convenient for an early ferry from Caen but obvious from the state of the hotel and attitude of staff that they were not interested or expecting guests to ever come back.

I have never in all my years of traveling stopped at worse Hotel than this one. The room is extremely dirty. The room and toilet smell, is like a sewer. The shower head was broken they attempted to repair it (did not) said they would come back (did not). The reception is occasionally manned so often when you need somebody there is no one there. Most thing are broken, no handles on wardrobe doors, no heating. The place is a disaster and unfit for human occupancy. Do not go anywhere near the place.

Good hotel in great position for the ferry terminal. Stayed many times and always found the staff in both the reception and restaurant to be friendly and helpful. Great choice of food always well prepared.

OK for a one night stay when you get off the ferry, as it's very close. However, the bar closes at 10pm, which isn't good timing, as that's when the ferry arrives! Rooms are small, clean and basic. Good breakfast buffet with local products.

room was very small and there was no elevator, dining room staff were not very friendly, room furniture was old and dated, shower was small and awkward to get in and out, not very clean.

The rooms need an update , the bathroom was tired and had a strong unpleasant smell as no plug in the sink and the shower was difficult to use . I wouldn’t recommend.
But on the plus side it is pet friendly and the restaurant was very good .

A budget hotel close to the ferry. Very dated; small rooms and strange sewage smell in bathroom. Excellent location for the ferry to Portsmouth. Breakfast very good.

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

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.

Really great place to stop off and local for the ferry. Highly recommended
Super breakfast

Very comfortable and so close to ferry. Would definitely return

Perfect place to stay when arriving on the evening ferry. Super convenient. Helpful staff. Comfortable room. Great breakfast.

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

Excellent position for ferry, good variety of food and drink, friendly staff

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.

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.
