Bit of hike off the ferry as a foot passenger but perfect spot in surprisingly nice little town. Staff super helpful sorting out some travel plans, single room was smallish but very nice design and spotless. All the bars and cafes on doorstep its an absolute bargain.

The first of three hotels on my vacation - and absolutely fine. The hotel was minutes away from the bus stop from the ferry - but just outside the door for everywhere else. Overlooking the harbour, it was surrounded by restaurants, A good breakfast and but a short walk to the train station.

Good choice for Cherbourg

We stayed here two nights. We had seen parking listed on the hotel website, but upon arrival found that they do not have hotel parking. You are directed to a city lot behind the hotel that was completely full when we arrived at 6:30 PM. It took us circling the lot for about 20 minutes before we got a space to park. After a long day of travel this was not pleasant for us. The hotel itself is a bit dated, but it is kept in good condition for the most part. Staff was friendly and very helpful regarding places to eat in the area and other advice. We recommend it as a good place to stay in Cherbourg.

Perfect for an overnight

Very convenient hotel. Was clean and safe. About a 10 minute walk from the train station and right on the edge of the pedestrian part of town. The hotel is nothing fancy; it's a clean, reasonably comfortable place to sleep in a safe part of town. It is not a boutique hotel. I would stay here again.
