Residence Pierre & Vacances Le Castel Normand

We didn’t try breakfast. Aside from the shortage of outlets, I have no complaints: there was just one in the bedroom/living room, one above the stovetop, and one in the bathroom. The rooms were spacious, and we had a lovely balcony with chairs and a table overlooking a magnificent garden. The kitchen was fully equipped, and the bathroom had a bathtub. It was clean and quiet, and staff were available even when reception was closed. A washing machine was available at reception for €4.50 per wash. My children and I spent a week here over the Easter holidays. The residence is 100 meters from the beach, three minutes from a major intersection, and a five-minute walk from Le Morny cinema. We’d gladly return.

Everything you need for cooking was provided in our room’s kitchen, so we could make breakfast, lunch, or dinner ourselves. The rooms were clean and tidy, and the location was perfect, close to the beach, shops, and train station. Everything was a 5-10-minute walk away. The downside was having to pay for Wi-Fi, which was definitely disappointing.

Room 02 on the ground floor was clean, and reception was good. The chambermaid was especially friendly and helpful, thank you to her. But the bed setup made it hard to watch the TV without twisting around, and we kept bumping our heads during the night. The bedding was uncomfortable and the pillows were very thin. I asked reception for two extra pillows and am still waiting. The shower curtain was too short, so water ended up on the floor and our feet got wet getting out. The hotel looks nice from outside, but I'm not very happy with the stay.

We were welcomed very well, but the street-facing rooms are really noisy, so choose one on the garden side if you can. The cleaning could be much better. The bunk beds and floor creak, and having to pay for Wi-Fi is unacceptable.
