لو جراند هوتل دو إليسبيرانسيه

Voor ons de ideale uitvalsbasis om Normandië te bezoeken. Zeer net onderhouden hotel. Vriendelijk personeel. Geen airco op de kamer, omwille van hittegolf was het wel wat warm om te slapen.

Отель понравился, но завтрак очень скромный, самые базовые продукты.

I stayed for 4 nights as part of a Solos tour with Riviera. The hotel is centrally located and clearly used to dealing with a number of tour groups at any one time which they did very efficiently, especially at breakfast with set times. This was great for us as a tour group that wanted to get out for the day but would probably be a distraction if you staying as a couple. The hotel is centrally located and within walking distance of the Basilica. Its an older building and the main hall is very attractive. My room was comfortable and what you would expect for an older hotel. The reception and bar staff were all very helpful. The food was okay and a little disappointing if I am honest. Overall a great base for our 4 night holiday visiting Normandy.

I went as part of a solos tour group tour. As a vegan I had researched this area of France as much as I was able to prior to arriving. I knew it would be extremely difficult so I emailed this hotel in advance to offer a couple of suggestions regarding breakfast. I hoped the hotel would at least make an effort. However, they only provided me with plant based milk and margarine. Despite me paying the same as everyone else on the tour, they had a great deal of choice for breakfast, but I only had tea, bread and jam and some poorly prepared fruit salad from a bowl. No protein provided, even though tofu, which I had suggested, was readily available from the local Bio supermarket and was very reasonable for them to provide. They basically did not care, even when the tour guide intervened, all I got was an avocado on the remaining few mornings. Vegans should not be discriminated against. The hotel was a conveyor belt of tour groups, highly regimented and impersonal. They only had a domestic two slice toaster for their guests....which was on it's last legs. How inappropriate! Avoid, avoid, avoid especially if you are vegan.

Our first overnight stop after crossing into France, the hotel is situated in Lisieux which is about four and a half hours from the channel tunnel. Found it very easily on the main street in Lisieux, it also has its own private secure garage parking which is part of the hotel building. Check in was good and quick. Nice clean room but again with daily high temperatures unable to open the windows during the evening/night. We had dinner in the hotels restaurant which was served at your table whilst breakfast was self service. Good location but think there are other hotels as good if not better.

We stayed two nights here en route from Caen to Paris. We were greeted by Arthur on Reception who was extremely helpful - he ran the bar too!We booked a Superior Double and were given a nice corner room on the 3rd floor. The double-glazing was very effective. Our radiator didn’t work so Arthur kindly found us a heater. The hotel has a great integral garage where you pay to park. We had one breakfast and one dinner at the hotel. Breakfast was ok, though sadly the hot food was uncovered so had dried out. Dinner was good and our server Etienne was excellent, especially as there was a large group of Americans dining too. I chose Camembert Pane to start, followed by Chicken and Mushroom Vol-au-Vent. My partner enjoyed Terrine du Chef then Faux Filet. We’ll happily stay here again.
