Amazing experience in an unforgettable setting…read more Atmosphere/decor: Nearly identical to the black and white photos of yesteryear, this historic setting takes you back to a different time while holding an elegant and special vibe. The huge ceilings, original embossments and mouldings are gorgeous. The large windows provide a great view of the sea and boardwalk. Unfortunately it was a big humid and warm in the room but expectable with the style and culture of the place. Everyone gets seated with a view. Service: lovely old-school white glove experience. Attentive, professional, and polite. The servers have typical non-disturbing stance of European restaurants with the added attentiveness one expects of fine dining. Food: the 3-course meal was delicious and beautifully plated. Small but flavorful portions. The crab starter was one of the most gorgeous plantings I have ever seen. Unfortunately the taste was somewhat bland and did not accentuate the crab. Some might call it delicate but I think that would be a scapegoat. The lamb two ways was magnificent. I asked for medium rare and both pieces were amongst the best lamb I've had of my life. Savory, just ever so gamey, and delicates salted. The chocolate coconut dessert dish was to die for -- decadent but smooth and creamy on the tongue with a nice counterbalance or coconut flavors--coconut can often be too underwhelming or overwhelming and they balanced the presence perfectly. One of my companions had the sole (Prousts favorite) and said it was the best he'd ever had. Unfortunately the sole does not come on the 3-course menu option (understandably) and necessitates ordering other dishes separately/individually. The chariot of cheese (hah! Bravo!) allowed an unlimited amount nearly 15 local and regional cheeses. Drinks: Impressive menu of mostly French wines. Luckily a few options of by the glass purchase for those of us whose companies couldn't/don't drink. Cocktail list is nice as well as apertifs and digestifs. Pricing: the 3-course meal is a good deal in the 75-100 euro range. Drink pricing was expectable for the scale of the restaurant. Very reasonable pricing for such fine dining and service. $350 Euro for 4 people with only two of us having by the glass drinks. I recommend all try it who can and would absolutely return--even dine multiple times during a stay at the Grand Hotel if I could visit.

Stayed here with a military tour group for several nights in April 2015. Accommodations were ok. My…read moreroom was facing away from the street, which was great, but the only view I had was of a large, broad roof. Seemed much more like a motel than a hotel. The chairs were at least comfortable to sit on in the evening and there was Wi-Fi in the rooms. The beds were typically European - narrow - and anyone travelling with room-mates will find the cramped quarters something to get used to. The hotel did feature an excellent lounge and restaurant on-site, and we had a free breakfast every morning - I believe set up especially for our group, so I don't know that all the guests receive this. It was set up in a meeting room. Breakfast was well done with the usual croissants, sausage/bacon, etc. The hotel also offered a catered French dinner for our group, as we were celebrating our final day of a 14-day tour. There were some interesting choices and nothing outstanding but I suspect also the tour organizers may not have paid for the top selections. Meal was good for what it was. A comfortable stay. As well, the hotel is walking distance from a shopping mall, the transit line, and a McDonald's. Staff I talked to were courteous and helpful.

I went to Etretat last weekend, ended up eating here twice. Once for dinner at the bistro and lunch…read moreat the restaurant. Food was amazing at both. At the bistrot I had oysters and the linguini alla vongole, clams and pasta. The oysters were delicious, so fresh, served on a plate of ice. The pasta was also delicious. Service was very attentive and well done. We sat outside and enjoyed the sunset views. We had lunch at the restaurant a couple of days later. I had this beautiful grilled octopus leg. Perfectly seasoned. Service was not as good at the restaurant. IDK why, they acted a bit rude. Perhaps because we didn't order many things? It was unnecessary to behave that way and for the 50€ I spent they could have been nicer. It took half an hour to get water. The food is good but seriously not worth the aggravation. Go to the bistro and skip the restaurant. Both have nice views.

We booked room #3, because we wanted a scenic view and boy oh boy did we get it. The king sized bed was extremely comfortable and we appreciated the modern bathroom and that there multiple outlets in the room, The grounds were spectacular, and offered beach access. We had dinner in the bistro and enjoyed the fish and chips and friendly service. If the opportunity presented itself, I would happily book a stay at the Hotel Dormy House.

Most speak excellent English and are very service-minded. The daily menu is a good deal and quite delicious. We had sea bass one evening and steak the other. We felt welcome like family here. It's small, so they come to know you. This is very kid friendly and comfortable. It's a great place to stay if you want something quiet, homey and charming. I now feel like I have experienced a French manor after staying here.

We got as far as Bayeux by train but it was the off season and everything was shut down so we were having a hard time finding a way to get to the beach. Nothing was open anywhere. We wandered into the Hotel le Bayeux and even though we weren't staying there, the really friendly staff took the time to help us find a rental car and gave us perfect directions (all in English!) for getting to the memorial, cemetery and beach. We were flying out of Paris the following day, if it wasn't for their help, we would have missed all of Normandy. Instead, it was the best day of our trip to France. The location is great, the hotel looked really nice and if the rooms are half as good as the staff, its worth a stay. Hope we can go back some day and spend a few days here.

If I could give this hotel a "0" I would. While the location is ideal, the owner of this…read moreestablishment is neglectful and unprofessional. There are very young inexperienced people taking care of an entire hotel that offers free breakfast. The rooms are dilapidated and not clean. Amenities are nonexistent, and any problem addressed with the front desk receives the response "I have to wait until the owner gets here" and then you never hear from the owner. I'm not sure there is one. Breakfast is okay but the bacon is raw and put in a warmer with the hopes it will cook. Everything else is cold and you must microwave it to be warmed. Coffee machine broke often; ice machine worked intermittently. The rooms are better explained through pictures. Last day the cook didn't show up, the night manager was back in to cover and the young girl who was afraid of her own shadow grabbed her coat and left at some point. This place was expensive and not worth it at all.
