The fact that it had air con was the reason I booked it. It did have air con but I was told by one staff member it didn’t work, another said it only comes on when it’s hot which wasn’t true as others in the group managed to get there’s on. Basically it was broken in my room and didn’t work at all.
Hotel Riva Bella by Thalazur is located opposite the sea, 100 metres from the city centre. It offers 4-star accommodation, a thalassotherapie centre, a bar and a restaurant.

Hotel is well located for the beach and car ferry. Hotel room was functional and clean (although see below). This Hotel seems principally used for its Spa Facilities by a predominantly French client base (judging by car registrations in the Hotel Car Park).
Located in the heart of Ouistreham, a 5-minute drive from the ferry port, Hotel Le Cosy Riva Bella is an ideal place to relax after a day spent discovering the Côte Fleurie and the D-Day landing...

Not unhappy about this experience. The staff were friendly and a happy experience
Ideally located only 14 km north of Caen, La Villa Andry makes an excellent base for discovering the protected area of the Pointe du Siège and the Côte de Nacre.
Featuring garden views, Cocon Maritime offers accommodation with a terrace, around less than 1 km from Sword Beach. It is set 17 km from Botanical Garden of Caen and features bicycle parking.

It is a lovely place to discover, beautiful walkways along the the marina, the historic center is pretty. The big problem is the presence of the africans,, all young men with Iphones and trendy clothing, certainly not refugees, lurking around everywhere, day and night, breaking into UK cars, if they are big enough to try to get to England. They are squatting around every corner, littering , urinating etc. Really it is a shame.

We were getting there to eat at "La moulerie" in front of the Casino (for sea food) and get to the "Criée" early in the morning to buy fish and sea food. We managed to get everything done properly.

I really wasn't there long enough to say anything about Ouistreham itself - I stopped briefly in Caen on the way and I certainly enjoyed the old half-timbered houses in the centre. The Castle will be a must see on my next visit, as will the beautiful old Norman/Romanesque churches and the nearby coastline, such as nearby-Dives-sur-Mer, where I stayed on a previous trip to Normandy and I can certainly recommend with its ancient church. Falaise Castle, said to be the castle of William the Conqueror, is the far side of Caen.

We have been here 20+ times as it is our twin town.
We have been here 20+ times as it is our twin town. The beach is lovely, the town is pleasant and we always have a good time. We stayed here in the hotel for one night after a trip further south and chose the Hotel du Phare because of its position. It is a typical, old style French hotel. The drains smell was off putting: the breakfast was good and the staff excellent.

Be prepared to walk a lot, so comfy shoes a must, I did find out on my last day that you can hire push bikes at the beach per hour, which is great because Ouistreham and it’s surrounding are quite big, the beaches are spotless and very impressive as is the history surrounding the area, I would say the area is very geared up for French tourism, so a basic grasp of French is a good idea, as most menus, and staff only speak French, having said that, there are plenty of English speaking people around in case your struggling !!

The resort was a surprise, because we expected just the port, but when we went for a wander around after driving up from Guidel Plages we found the enormous long sandy beach and all the amenities. It’s obviously hugely popular on warm days and stretches for miles. Many of the 2nd WW beaches are within easy reach. This might not be the prettiest place, but it has a lot more going for it than we had expected.
Hotel de la Plage was perfectly located for the start of our La Velo Francette Cycle Route. The Hotel has a lovely terrace frontage, where breakfast could be taken. The Hotel is just a few minutes walk from the beach, sea front and numerous restaurants. The hotel is quiet and in a quiet residential location. Our bedroom was compact and a little basic, but adequate for our stay. The Hotel staff were friendly and helpful.
It was very quiet and clean, we relaxed a lot in the pools and me and mg mother enjoyed the different treatments. I really loved the relaxing massage although it’s only 25 minutes. The hotel is located in front of a big beach which allows for long and nice walks. Breakfast was really good with lots of choice.
Friendly, family run hotel with a great location, within very easy reach of the beach, centre ville and the ferry port. Clean, comfortable and (English speaking) friendly staff. Perfect for an overnight stay before catching ferry or a great base to explore Ouistreham and its environs.
This hotel is an ideal location for catchig the early morning ferry and they suppy breakfast starting at 6.30. The Ferry port is just 2 minutes away. The restaurant had the one menu but this was fine and a Monday night when eveywhere else seemed closed.
The room was beautiful and clean. There is a real family-business sense about the place and service was good and was very personalised. The hotel was full of charm and I would definitely recommend on balance. Very relaxed but attentive customer service.
Nothing. It was so horrendous that we stayed for about half an hour before deciding the situation was unsalvagable, and we left and got a room at a nearby hotel. This us a terrible accomodation for someone who's got to catch an early ferry.
Friendly and helpful staff. Good value breakfast. Nice, clean and modern room with hot drinks supplied. Good location for exploring Ouistreham or the wider region. Close to the ferry terminal and town centre with good restaurants nearby.
Easy to find when coming off the ferry in the evening. Reception was open and easy to deal with.
Breakfast had a great choice of cereal, toast, croissants, yoghurts,ham and cheese and ham. All staff were pleasant and welcoming.
We arrived in Caen very late from the ferries and a member of staff contacted me to give me the code to get in to the hotel and left the keys with my name and instructions. I really appreciate it that.
Close to the ferry port at Ouistreham (Caen)
Very clean and modern bedrooms
On-site free parking
