This is a good value for money hotel and couldn't be more convenient for the ferry terminal and catching the morning ferry. The room was fairly basic but clean and worked perfectly well for an overnight stop. Reception was friendly and helpful.

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.
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.
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.

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.

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
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.
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.
Stayed here several times for one night durations only but it is convenient, clean and friendly. The restaurant has a great choice and the food is great.
Friendly staff. Great location for visiting D day locations. Restaurant perfect with great food. Our first visit to France and hit gold with this hotel.
Best hotel in area - close to ferry terminal, easy parking, good food and service, comfortable rooms, reasonable price. Have stayed in other much more expensive hotels in area and found that their service and food was poor.
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 .
