Overall Ratings & Reviews Hôtel Barrière Le Royal Deauville

All was well. Except for two things For an hotel of this class there should be USB ports to charge phones and ipads in the room. There weren’t and it wasn’t easy to recharge. The plugs weren’t firm enough to stand the plug converters and there was no surface near the bed or near a table. The staff was very helpful but some looked like students who were a bit at sea. Maybe think about more training? But except for this, all was fine

Need to upgrade the rooms and common areas

This is a very nice hotel, just across the large Deauville beach. Room was big enough, big bathroom in superb condition and very clean. Excellent breakfast. Rooms could be a bit in better shape, given that this is a 5 star hotel. And room service could have been more focused in details: for instance, a seagull left a little "present" in one of our windows, and 2 or 3 full days passed without the room service cleaning it. But overall, a very nice option for this charming town.

The hotel is beautiful my only complaint is that there is not a shower in the bathroom only a shower head in the bath. Also having the toilet separate with no hand washing felt a little unhygienic

I just returned to this hotel after 10 years and overall I was very disappointed. The hotel is very outdated and needs a full refurb. Bathrooms are from the 80s. There are cracks on the facade and on the asphalt in front of the hotel and by the pool area. The pool area have employed young inexperienced staff. Once we arrived to the hotel we headed straight to the pool area to have a late lunch. We were given a table which supposedly had been cleaned and set up for us but which had pieces of spaghetti in gaps on the table, also bread crumbs and parmesan from previous guests on the placemats, seriously disgusting. When I informed the waitress, she didn’t even apologise, tried to remove some of the spaghetti which was trapped in a gap on the table and just said “sorry my fingers aren’t small enough to remove the rest”. She could have just come with a knife or scissors to scrape it up. Also when we arrived to lie down by the pool, nobody even checked if we were from the hotel and though the poolboy saw that I was struggling to raise the parasol, he didnt do anything. I had to waive and call for him to come over. At breakfast the avocado at the buffet was mouldy- anyone could see that with the naked eye. The only positives: the bar which has a very nice feel to it, the location, and last but not least the concierge Frank. He is very knowledgeable, enthusiastic and friendly and goes above and beyond!! That said, I will not be returning.

Bathrooms are a little tired but lovely property.

Iconic hotel in Deauville but needs some renovation. Old and small rooms. Swimming pool in poor condition...

Loved the staff. Did not like the bad condition of some common spaces, such as the hallway rugs and wallpaper

A classic hotel that's showing its age. The service is friendly and attentive. The decor and furnishings are showing their age, verging on shabbiness. The room was comfortable, air conditioned, with excellent blackout shades. The shower in our room was almost unusable (low water pressure and very sluggish temperature control). Most disappointing is the food; the offerings are of reasonable quality, but at twice or more the price I would expect to pay; 20-25 euro for cocktails, 25 for an unremarkable hamburger or sandwich. We considered going all-in on dinner at the restaurant but realized it would be 300 or more euros for what was probably typical bistro fare.

Beautiful property on a fantastic site with excellent views of the beach and easy walk to all the main attractions.

Excellent accueil Chambre spacieuse et très confortable Très bien situé Le personnel est irréprochable

Good service and friendly. Food and beverage very expensive. Property a little rundown

Very dated and very expensive rooms - I’ve stayed at far less expensive hotels and been far more impressed.

Great hotel and location

This Hotel is fantastic, we were upgraded and treated superbly. We have been before and always get the same 5 star treatment. We will be returning next year

Perfection

Very nice even though short stay! Great hotel - lots of nostalgic memories captured there of old style glamour!

Very nice facilities and great staff . Best concierge Great location walking distance to everything

From the moment we arrived the staff were excellent, the sea view room superb and the concierge’s recommendations for dining in the town were faultless. The Bastille Day Ball arranged in the hotel was a credit from champagne to the food to the fireworks - a memorable stay

Great service. Convenient location. The only negative thing is that there is no A/C in the room
