It is a great building yes - wonderful cobbled courtyard and old stone interior including a charming spiral staircase. The rooms are basic and cheaply furnished, but then the place is pretty cheap so that's ok. What is not ok is the noise levels in the bedrooms throughout the night. Most of this comes from other rooms, including the communal... More

Less than half an hour from Cherbourg, Valognes is the obvious place to spend the night if you catch the afternoon ferry from Portsmouth. We have stayed at this hotel almost annually for over ten years and watched its evolution from a very basic, run-down place through a few make-overs and countless changes of ownership.

The room was small but comfortable - The hotel is in a lovely old building. The meal was OK - my main course was good, my partners less so. The staff... More
