Excellent hotel in a perfect location. Small boutique style, nice rooms many with harbour views. Lovely reception and bar area to grab a drink from the honour bar, and service is top notch. Breakfast full of delicious local produce and secure parking just 5-7min walk from hotel.
Definitely recommended!

Great stay. Victor was a fantastic help with checking in, meeting us at our car to grab our bags and directing us to their private parking. He also secured a dinner reservation at a great restaurant next door. One of the best dinners we had on our French vacation.

Best hotel in Honfleur. Staff was incredibly attentive, ready to help with dinner bookings etc. They have a private parking area nearby which is convenient since parking is tight in town. Raphael and owner Victor were absolutely lovely from beginning to end. Room was spacious with rustic features and modern amenities at the same time.

I would stay here again
This is a super cool location to stay, the rooms are small, but clean and very friendly service right on the harbor, close to great restaurants and all the sites. The owner is new, and very accomodating, beds were comfy it was very clean, and the bathrooms were large with lots of space
