Ideal hotel close to Caen ferry

Friendly, comfortable, welcoming and so convenient for the Caen ferry. Recommended. Lion sur Mer is a nice little town with a fabulous beach close to a huge range of D-Day places of interest. Great fir an overnight stop or two.

Perfect room with charm, and a lovely window with a view of the church. It was small but lovely, and a great price, plus a short walk to the beach. Get a croissant across the road, they are top notch.

We stayed in early September, so not peak season. The owners are very helpful. Breakfast is excellent value if you want it. The hotel is very convenient for the local facilities and for the beach. It is easy to find being on the main coast road.

A gem of a hotel, clean, comfortable, warm, good breakfast and dinner, easy for parking, right in the town centre, 3 minutes walk from the beach. Friendly, welcoming owners and pleasant staff, very reasonably priced. I look forward to staying longer on a future visit. This is a good base for the D-Day trail, a seaside break, Caen and Bayeux (tapestry). Good choice of restaurants outwith the hotel too.
