I stayed here with a child. All was good, clean room, nice place and late check in was no problem. Only minus was the steep charge of 28 euro (14 each) for a small breakfast.

A superb hotel in an idyllic, unspoilt resort
Posted 26 Jun 2024 on HotelsThis was without doubt one of the loveliest hotels I have ever stayed in. A cherished building in a beautiful resort, where we received not only the warmest of welcomes, but also the best of everything! Our room, 202, was immaculate: comfortable and superbly laid-out with all-important little touches like coat-hooks near the door, an effective fan in the shower so that the mirror never misted up, a heated towel rail that easily accommodated four towels, plenty of wardrobe space, and a handy little safe. I adored the view to other stylish buildings and particularly that over nearby rooftops to the sea - along with some stunning sunsets.
At just €14 each, the continental breakfast represented truly excellent value, particularly as most of the food on offer was locally-sourced produce, including the apple juice, hams, cheeses, wide range of preserves and delicious bread.
A genuinely happy, friendly place, where we learned much about Houlgate and the true meaning of hospitality.
As for the broader context to our stay, it was partly to visit the Normandy beaches, the British Normandy Memorial and other sites inextricably linked to Operation Overlord, partly to view Normandy from the air and partly to investigate resorts that came to prominence during the late C19th. Houlgate is by far the loveliest, and the Villa de Bains is a jewel in its crown.

Posted 23 Jun 2023 on HotelsLovely hotel in great location for shops, restaurants and the superb beach.
Staff very polite and helpful.
Hotel breakfast is 12 Euro but worth it. Very good fresh selection.
Hotel has no parking but plenty of places to park free nearby and you can unload/load for 20 minutes opposite the hotel.
Overall very good value and will use again if in area.

Proprietors, Briac and his wife (sorry, I didn't get her name) were very helpful and accommodating in everything from finding parking to dining recommendations. Briac is quite the historian and told us all about Houlgate, the Belle Epoch style of architecture, etc. Our room was fairly small but clean. We enjoyed our stay!

Bank Holiday Get Away
Posted 30 Aug 2022 on HotelsWe loved our stay - room was great, location was fantastic and the bed was really comfortable. The only addition I would recommend is air conditioning as it was very warm.
