Hotel Review

We enjoyed our stay in the Douarnenez area and the hotel provided a pleasant base to enjoy it from. Breakfast was good and the evening meal very good. Staff were very pleasant and helpful . The accommodation in the annex was clean, comfortable and quiet. The condition of the building that your hardworking staff was housed in, shocked us as it looked dilapidated. This also impacts on guests such as ourselves, whose rooms looked onto it from the annex. Quite a difference from the views from the main building.

Disliked: Cleanliness, staff & service, amenities, property conditions & facilities
Même si nous étions dans de second bâtiment , la chambre était sale, sous les toits sans aucun équipement. Pour accéder à la piscine il faut payer les 22€ par personne pour l accès à la thalasso, cette dernière ne faisait vraiment pas envie, tâches de rouille sur les jacuzzis , sombre et peu fréquenté. Le personnel était agréable mais avait peur de se faire sanctionner a chaque demande. Le petit déjeuner était sympathique, mais attention aux mouettes à l extérieur.

Correct, mais pas au niveau de la promesse

Belle chambre, belle douche, bon lit. Au dessus d'un balcon avec un client fumeur, dommage... Bâtiment a l'écart de l'hôtel, accès a la piscine et au spa un peu compliqué du coup + pas de vue mer. Attention, payer pour place parking ne garanti pas qu'il y aura de la place pour se garer, mais en parler a l'accueil a permis de résoudre le problème.
