Grave mistake.

I have never in all my years of traveling stopped at worse Hotel than this one. The room is extremely dirty. The room and toilet smell, is like a sewer. The shower head was broken they attempted to repair it (did not) said they would come back (did not). The reception is occasionally manned so often when you need somebody there is no one there. Most thing are broken, no handles on wardrobe doors, no heating. The place is a disaster and unfit for human occupancy. Do not go anywhere near the place.

OK for a one night stay when you get off the ferry, as it's very close. However, the bar closes at 10pm, which isn't good timing, as that's when the ferry arrives! Rooms are small, clean and basic. Good breakfast buffet with local products.

I do stay here 3 times a year but it’s busy. I don’t expect to be remembered but I was and that is welcoming. Particularly good as a solo traveller. I feel looked after in le phare. Plus I enjoy the atmosphere and location when having supper. The rooms are very clean.

Disliked: Room comfort

Super location for ferry, but several drawbacks.

Location spot on for overnighting before ferry crossing. Restaurant pretty good too. But our double room was comparatively small, as was the bed, with little room to move around the bed or room. No kettle, tea or coffee, nor water. Bathroom ok. Overall our 100 euro cost was, by normal French standards, well over the top.
