A wonderful hotel steeped in history, it commands an excellent position fronting the beach. Beautiful building and tastefully decorated throughout. Good choice of restaurants and shops nearby. Good sized room, clean and very nicely decorated. Breakfast was excellent with wonderful service and ample choice for all tastes. Private beach with parasols and windbreaks make a day on the beach very comfortable, with a hotel restaurant adjacent. Room service very efficient and meals high quality. Staff were all delightful and the Concierge very informative and professional.

The secure parking is a few streets from the hotel, it is great and worth the fee, however it can be a little awkward at times as when needing items from your car as you have to be accompanied by a member of staff, they would fetch the car for you, however our car is very low and we were concerned about the speed bumps! We were very impressed when our car had been covered in bird droppings, to find the next day a member of staff had washed the car for us and put a cover on it - you can't get better than that - thank you!

Historic hotel where Proust stayed every summer from 1907 to 1913, described in his 2nd book as The Grand Hotel of Balbec. We are big fans of Proust, so this was the main reason for the stay. Hotel is very nice, but rather expensive. Alas, Proust former room (420) was converted to a conference room.

Public rooms beautiful . The breakfasts are amazing . The location on the beach front perfect . Bedrooms spacious.

The hotel has been refurbished but still the leather headboard on our bed damaged and old . Cigarette burn on chair upholstery in room .Needs a little more focus on bedrooms to live up to 5 * rating .

The place is so quiet and authentic.

The private beach was for extra charge. and this is the only thing that we didn't like about the hotel. As a private beach of a 5 stars hotel normally it is out of charge!

Excellent location on the beach. High quality of food and services. Belle Epouge atmosphere with modern facilities.

A bit expensive.

The staff were friendly and helpful. The view from our ocean side room was spectacular. The hotel had a feeling of old world style with modern friendliness on the part of the staff.

Parking, perhaps.

Such a beautiful hotel, wonderful clean rooms, friendly staff, beautiful sea view.

We liked everything.

Beautiful hotel in the best possible location in Cabourg. Enjoyed listening to the ocean all night. The most delicious tea in the room

The breakfast is suberb with a very comforting view towards the sea. Rooms are spacious with everything that is needed. The staff is very friendly and helpful. The location of the hotel at the sea promenade is excellent.

fantastic location. service was extremely helpful with outstanding discretion and efficiency
