호텔 데 아르구지에르

This is a good 3* hotel in a quiet village within walking distance to the beach, the Fort and local amenities and spa facilities. Rooms in the main building do not have air conditioning. Rooms with garden access are cooler than those on the first floor which get very hot during the summer season. Access to the first-floor rooms is via a spiral metal external staircase when reception is closed. The small free-standing fridges in the rooms are appreciated but noisy so you end up unplugging at night. Some of the bathrooms have very poor lighting and the sizeable showers have a slippery surface so despite the plastic shower mats, you must be very careful not to slip. 5 cabin-style rooms have been recently built. Access is across the lawn. These cabins have their private exterior seating areas. The hotel proposes private paying car parking facilities which you can only reserve upon arrival (first come first served basis). The car park has a pebble surface, which is difficult to walk on let alone wheel your luggage. The hotel is clean, but I requested 2 additional pillows, one was stained without a pillowcase and the other had a stained pillowcase. There was hardly an apology when I made the comment at reception and was provided with 2 clean pillowcases. The bed in the room named La Goelette was extremely uncomfortable, consisting of two single bed bases and two single mattresses hooked together with a very thin top mattress/mattress cover resulting in a painfully hard centre sloping downwards to each side. I’ve stayed in this hotel on more than 10 occasions over the years but feel that despite all efforts to make improvements and offer more facilities, there seems to be no “ownership” by the receptionists who do their job, but don’t show interest in going the extra mile to make your stay more enjoyable. Breakfast is good, but is not served before 8a.m., so if you have an early start, you have to forego breakfast or use the kettle in your room Conclusion – a good hotel which merits is 3*, fine for one or two nights, carefully select your room according to your needs. Many of the room descriptions on the hotel site sound much better than they actual are.

Simple comfortable hotel. Decent breakfast. Friendly efficient staff. Nice short drive from the tunnel. Only downside is the charge for parking when there is simply no choice. That’s new since we last stayed here. They should simply include it in the room rate.

‘Junior suite ‘ comprises bedroom & bathroom - no sitting room, though chairs provided on balcony. Noisy plumbing kept us awake at night when adjacent guests flushed toilets or took showers. Limited hours of reception, and when no staff present access to our room was via outdoor spiral staircase fire escape - difficult for guests with mobility issues. Conflicting messages from different staff: one receptionist told us breakfast was included in overnight charge, yet we were told by the ‘manager’ that we needed to pay extra. Additional €100 taken from our account on departure. Proved difficult to get this refunded until we go Bpoking.com involved. Shan’t be coming back

Extremely unhelpful staff on arrival at hotel. Discovered that you must reserve & pay in advance if you want one of the VERY LIMITED & TIGHT parking bays! You are not permitted to park on the street outside - not helpful when you’re disabled! Such a gross disappointment!!

Très déçue après avoir déjà été venue il y a quelques années 2 nuits passées à cet hôtel nous sommes très déçu aujourd’hui Literie très dur Ménage à revoir poussière sur le fauteuil en osier toile d’araignée pas du jour Parking payant 5€ par jour Caution de 100€ alors que le séjour été totalement payé avant notre arrivée Et le prix du petit déjeuner un peu cher 14€ on s’attend à plus de choses

Troisième visite dans cet hôtel, accueille, toujours très chaleureux et sympathique. Les chambres confortables et toujours aussi propre La télé est un rien haute par rapport au lit… le wi-fi fonctionne très bien…. Petit-déjeuner avec choix, dommage que les crêpes soient froides et qu’il n’y ai pas assez de cake… Les œufs sont très bons et les différents cafés aussi Le rapport qualité prix est excellent!
