Overall Ratings & Reviews Hôtel du Phare

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

It's 5 minutes from Ferry terminal. Clean, has everything you want. Breakfast extra cost but very good. For early Ferry crossings its absolutely perfect.

Staff were very friendly and helpful. We ate at the restaurant and food was lovely. The only minor point to mention, is that the bedrooms were a little cold and the radiators didn’t seem to be working.

Restaurant in the past was great but on this visit service was slow mussels very poor. Will try another hotel next time.

Good for overnight stopover close to all amenities.

We use this property as it is convenient for the ferry terminal. There are also restaurants nearby, so there is a choice for the evening. Polite, efficient check in and room is perfectly adequate for what we want and what we have paid.

We booked a room for one night. It is a quiet place to get some rest. The room was small and older. The bathroom was small, with a tiny shower and a soap dispenser near the sink for all washing purposes. We were assigned a top floor (attic) room with pitched ceilings, so one must watch where they are walking at night. The bed was comfortable, but rather small for two people. Altogether, the place wasn't particularly pretty, but a decent place to rest. The property offers a buffet breakfast for €9 per person, which we did not avail ourselves of.

Ideal for an overnight stay before catching ferry next morning

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.

This property I used for convenience for Ferry terminal. 5 minutes away. Rooms have everything you need. Bar restaurant seating outside. Staff speak English. Breakfast additional cost. Meals very good with fast service. Definitely use this hotel for future visits.

Great choice for the ferry

5 minutes from Ferry terminal. Breakfast and evening meal at additional cost. Perfect location. Will use again for Future bookings.

Clean basic rooms, excellent restaurant. Superb for stayover after or before ferry crossing.

Old,falling apart,musty smelling. No lift

No lift only narrow stairs. WiFi only available in the reception area at times. No hot water available on three separate occasions. Worst continental breakfast ever had. Constantly asking for breakfast items to be replenished. No safe, fridge or tea or coffee facilities in the room. A certain member of staff extremely rude and abrupt [ others very good ].

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.

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

We checked in just as the clock turned 11pm (it took all that time to get through passport control off the ferry), and thankfully the reception was still open. The man who welcomed us spoke good enough English, but allowed me to speak bad French to him! We parked in the municipal carpark opposite, which is free at that time of night, until 9am. We had to pay visitor's tax for all our party (not just the adults, as Hotels.com states), but it's only 90 cents per person. Our triple room was up two flights of quite easy stairs, and was delightful. Because of the layout, we had quite a lot of space for our bags. The room was presented beautifully, and was really clean and welcoming. It was double aspect, and had views of the lighthouse, ferry, and canal; despite this, it wasn't noisy in the morning. The shower room was very small, so this wouldn't be the room for you if you are of a larger size! We didn't eat at the hotel, as I favour the boulangerie in town for a first day's breakfast. We enjoyed our stay, and I'd absolutely stay here again in the future. I'd like to stay for longer.

Hotel right in the port with parking directly outside / perfect for an early ferry

Property was convenient for ferry. Rooms were clean and linen fresh. Facilities were dated and could do with a refresh. Relatively quiet at back of hotel despite its prominent position between two roads.
