Faded glory! Once a great hotel, now living off its reputation. Unfortunately, very tired with…read moremediocre service. Good for large tour groups.

This hotel is a fifteen minute walk from the Deauville-Trouville train station...we had to walk as…read moreno taxis or Uber's were available when we arrived. The hotel is beautiful from the outside with a nice little garden area with benches just in front of it. The lobby has nice sofas and tables and there is a bar on one side with the restaurant behind it. We were charged 30-something euros per night for buffet breakfast for me as my husband was part of a conference. I tried to opt out of it as I would have preferred to try the small cafes outside but I could not. The back entrance has some outdoor bistro tables and chairs and across the road are tennis courts. Along the back road is the convention centre, Olympic pool and Deauville beach. Right beside the hotel is the Deauville Casino and tons of shops and restaurants within walking distance. The room we had was a smaller one with king bed. A door separates the bedroom from the entrance and closet. The washroom has its own door from the entrance area and the toilet area has its own door.....allows for quiet sleep for one person as the other is getting ready. There was no iron in the room....we had to request it and the cleaning staff would try to remove it daily but I told them to leave it for our entire stay. There is a safe and coffee maker and a small closet. They replenished toiletries daily and I requested our towels to not be changed (by hanging them up) in order to be "green" but it looked like new towels daily. The disposable coffee cups and lids, and daily plastic water bottles negated any "green" initiative. I did like that common washrooms on the main level lit up with movement and were not left on at all times. There is a tiny elevator but stairs are close by. The gym is small and limited and the pool is decent (small) with loungers and sofas. The pool was not busy during our stay. The concierge was not too helpful when I asked for info on tours. They said they had none and we could hire a car for 100 euros per hour and hire a guide for 500 euros for the day The walk over to Trouville took me about an hour to get to the beach...at a strolling pace. We used our rental car to go to Juno beach. The buffet restaurant in the hotel was large, extensive and good quality. Plenty of pastries but I would have liked more fruit.

The hotel lobby is lovely and very traditional. The hotel rooms however are run down and…read moredisappointing. The room we were upgraded to had a beautiful view of the beach and the ocean, and normally costs up to €1000/night is tired with dated furniture. The carpet is patched in areas and stained. The details in the room are badly executed. They didn't bother restocking coffee, water or any details in the morning or at turn down. Waste of money. We had a very expensive dinner in the restaurant the first night, and while I understand they may have just reopened, it was mediocre with very disappointing over priced food. The staff were friendly but untrained. Would NOT stay here again.

My wife and I stayed at the Royal Barriere twice, the first time was 10 years ago and most recently…read morelast week. Both stays were wonderful! It's difficult to cast my mind back to 10 years ago, so this review is based on our recent stay. Our room was located on the 6th floor and we were fortunate to secure a room that overlooked the beach. The view is amazing, my wife and I enjoyed looking out at the beach and watching horses running along the beach. The room was nicely appointed with a king size bed, a flat screen TV, USB ports, and a large soaking tub in the bathroom. The room probably could've been cleaner. For example, the grout in the shower was dirty and there was dirt on the bathroom door. Overall, the room was nice! Perhaps the best part of the hotel was the service. The entire hotel staff was excellent. From the Front Desk, the Concierge, Dining Room/Bar Staff, and to the Housekeeping Staff, everyone was very helpful and accommodating. We may not be coming back to Deauville for another 10 years, but when we do, we're looking forward to staying at the Royal Barriere again.

Hugely disappointed. No toiletries in the bathroom. No hand towel. Only 1 roll of toilet paper. No…read morebox of tissues. No electrical plugs; 1 very small trash can -only in the bathroom. Plugs are only on one side of the room- close to window- so if 2 people need to charge gadgets, the other person would have to walk around to the other side. No water kettle, no teA/ coffee maker. The good: wifi is fast and free. Breakfast has Madeleines and a good assortment of breads and cheese. May i suggest that the hotel provide a faster coffeemaker in the breakfast room. There's a huge line that forms because of the slow coffeemaker. Pick the Mercure Hotel 2 blocks away- for the same rate.

Dirty, small rooms. The rooms seemed old and in need of a deep cleaning. Just looking around at…read morelike corners in the bathroom and shit grossed me out so much. My mattress kept falling off too. Combination of shitty bed and me being a weird sleeper? Heard dinner here was awful. My family went and they said it was like the worst dinner they had on our trip to France. I was sick and opted not to go so I was able to avoid the nastiness. I guess it's located well in deauville? But I was too sick when I was on deauville to really explore. I just observed the grossness of the rooms.

I stayed there for 1 night in November 2015. I really recommend staying there. Convenient location…read more Rooms are really clean. The staff is really nice, and on top of it, the breakfast is awesome! The chef was a baker for 34 years and serves home-made croissants and chocolate croissants. Yummy!
