False advertisement of this property on Expedia. The photos in no way depict the current condition of the property. Outside of property very uninviting, dirty, like old council flats. On entering property, very basic, painted metal stairs, rickety old, dirty and stained cheap wooden doors. Very small rooms, again very dirty, not been cleaned, feet were filthy after taking off shoes. All surfaces sticky. Dirty windows. Unsafe electrics. Tiny, filthy bathroom with mould around shower, on shower curtain. Thick layers of dirt and dust behind toilet. Bedding appeared to have been changed but didn’t check, slept for 4 hours in clothes on top of bed and left at 3am (this wasn’t the plan) to get a much earlier ferry. If we didn’t need some sleep after a 6 hour motorbike ride in the rain and a further 5 hours to ride once back in the UK we wouldn’t have stayed at all. Area around hotel was very loud at night with local “youths” pulling up in the unsecured car park behind the hotel playing music loudly and shouting. No secure parking. I would not recommend this hotel at all. And I am very disappointed with Expedia for the allowing of this false advertisement. Used Expedia for years and this is by far the worst experience we have ever had. Do NOT stay here.

Staff were helpful, but it is possible the dirtiest hotel I have ever stopped in. We needed to get a good nights sleep for long drive the following day, but the surrounding area was so noisy that it became impossible. The bathroom was covered in the previous occupants hair and the shower tray looked like a mold growing petri dish

Vastly overpriced for this very badic and very noisy hotel. Old, outdated. No sound insulation internally. Very noisy outside. No air conditioning. No lift. Only 6 car park spaces - round the back, and only if you can get over the kerb. Definitely never going back there again.

The room itself was quite small with see through curtains and the walls are paper thin so we heard the person in the room next door talking loudly on the phone at 8am whichwoke us up. The bed was comfy and clean however the rest of room needs a refurb; mould corners of room, shower curtains dirty and exposed toilet pipe amongst other things wrong with the room. Also with the free parking you have to drive up a curb which likely damaged the bottom of my car.

We enjoyed our stay at Le Transat Bleu. It was good value for money and close to the gorgeous beach which we could see from our window. The room was clean and comfortable but a little tired looking in places, such as the balcony railings had flaking paint, shower curtain was a little short for the shower. Staff were very helpful and breakfast was good too. This isn't a fancy place to stay but affordable, clean and comfortable. We would stay there again.

It will do in a pinch
The location is amazing. The hotel needs updating. Parking is limited and cleanliness is okay. We had two room and the second/ economy room only had sheer curtains so tons of light until nearly midnight shower smelled of sewage and no English speaking channels or subtitles available on the tv.

A pleasant 3 day stay.
The first thing to say is that this is a 2 star hotel, so it can’t be judged as if it were a Hilton. For 2 stars, it’s not bad at all. The decor is a bit tired, they could do with some new towels, and the rooms are quite small, but the food in the restaurant is excellent, the wifi is very good, and the owner is very friendly. We paid a little extra for a room with a balcony and sea view, and were not disappointed. We would certainly stay here again.

Just Fine for a Night or Two
It is definitely on the smaller side, more common to Europe, but it was comfortable enough and had hot water. We were so exhausted that we didn't really pay much attention to anything. I don't think you can go wrong staying here for a night or two, but I wouldn't consider it for a longer stay.
