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 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.

The receptionist on Saturday night was brilliant. I wanted to make another reservation for August and immediately he took care of it Food in the reception is very good and the beer ( Afligem) tasted even better after arriving from Tours. Very close to the D day beaches and Pegasus bridge

Disliked: Room comfort

Super location for ferry, but several drawbacks.

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.

very good indeed

The hotel was very close to the ferry, staff were friendly, breakfast was worthwhile - very fresh croissants. Just to say that there are quite a lot of steep stairs if you have a large suitcase but we didnt so not a problem

Ideal stopover for ferry

Nice stay, very clean & so nice to have a room with a view of the port. A very pleasant restaurant with a good menu. Brilliant to have on site parking even with municipal car park close by. Did not experience breakfast because we did not know what time it started.

Barely adequate.

Clean room, and comfortable bed. Water so soft it was virtually impossible to rinse off. No left-luggage room, which made sightseeing very inconvenient.

Disliked: Amenities
A dangerous shower. Controls broken. Clearly damp with plaster peeling off the walls. A window that is broken and cannot be closed so you have to endure the noise of the HGVs heading to the Port. Horrible.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
The hotel and restaurant were excellent. The room was small but clean and as requested we were allocated a room on the first floor near the stairs. However, as a warning to future guests this is an area where there are a lot of immigrant young men who spent most of the night tryhing to break into cars particularly UK cars. People should not leave any valuable in cars and should be aware of this problem. Police presence but not all the time. Do not let you put off staying here but just be aware.

Stayed twice - on ferry in and out trips Reception service the worst I have ever had in France On first trip the hotel car parking was closed off due to local fete. We went to reception to ask what to do and got Gallic shrug - it will be opened when the fireworks end. Went back later and still nothing except same shrug. After a local policeman helped us get into the park and we finally got in at just before 11.30. Dumped bags and when down to get a drink and waiter sad at 11.31 "closed" even though they were still serving existing guests. Pointed out we were residents and got "Fermee" with no hint of help. As we were booked to go back on return I thought we would give them another chance. Car Park was full - asked were to go and got a point to municipal park and same shrug. He did however recognise the booking and got key. The phone then rang and he spent a considerable time negociating a new booking leaving me standing there. There is no lift (we knew that) but no effort or offer to help with luggage up steep stairs even though I was walking with 2 sticks. AVOID HOTEL DU PHARE AT ALL COSTS

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.
