My husband and I have stayed here four different years before and/or after a course at the French language immersion school, l'Institut de Francais. We love the area so much that we like to come a few days early and stay a few days late and this is where we stay. Alan Power, the owner, is a wonderful host and... More

We just stayed three nights in room #1, a junior suite. For Europe, the room was spacious. The location is perfect, set on a quiet street but close to everything-the old town, beach and harbor, a boulangerie, and the bus stops. We enjoyed the hospitality of our host, Alan, who was very gracious and helped us with directions, wine glasses,... More

Our room was up two flights of narrow stairs with windows on two sides overlooking a soccer field across the street and an apartment building across... More

Owner Alan Power makes everything easy and gives great travel advice. This hotel is a great value for its central location and wonderful sea views from the balcony, a wonderful place to start your day with morning coffee or tea. The harbor and a number of wonderful restaurants are just down the hill. We will stay here again. More

We stayed in the Vauban for two nights, the room was small but more than adequate, it also had a balcony which overlooked the road (and the football pitch). The bathroom was also small but again perfectly suitable. The room was a bit noisy in the early morning, but as we wanted to be up and about, it wasn't a... More

We are not hard to please and the accommodation was OK if a bit cramped. Afterall if you are offered a more expensive room at the same price as you were quoted who is going to complain? We carried our bags upstairs willingly when we were told of a medical condition which prevented our host lifting heavy weights. But when... More
