Inns in Vallées d'Auge et du Merlerault

"We are regular travellers to our house in France. We are about to buy an electric car and wanted a hotel with charging points so we chose this hotel. We wish we had found it years ago. Very clean and well appointed rooms, simple but lovely restaurant and perfect breakfast. We will be back."

"We had a very good 2 night stay at Le Grand Hôtel de l'Espérance in Lisieux. The room was basic but very clean and practical. They still provided a kettle and tea and coffee. A mini fridge would have been nice though. The bathroom had shower only but it had a good amount of storage space. We had one dinner in their restaurant which was good and good value for money. The service was good and efficient, even though the restaurant was full and only one person serving. The breakfast was excellent. They had 2 Camembert style cheeses, Emmental, spicy sausages as the hot option, hard boiled eggs, good quality cold cooked ham, good grilled ham, yoghurt, croissants, 2 types of homemade cake, fruit salad, and one of the best apple pies we have ever eaten. The selection was constantly replenished. The people at the reception very friendly and professional. If we were to visit Lisieux again, we would stay there again."

"Bonjour, Seul bémol, la moquette dans la chambre et la salle de restauration par endroit. Sinon personnel très sympathique et souriant. "

"Clean and accessible Thanks"

"Great. Nothing to complain"

"Very nice Hotel"

"Check in was easy and fast. Hotel was spotless and brightly lit. Very colourful interior. Rooms while small felt spacious. Shopping just across the road. Lots of places to eat within walking distance. Breakfast was good. Budget price but got so much more. Fantastic hotel. Will definitely recommend this hotel "

"Stayed for a solo St Therese pilgrimage. Centrally located hotel near many shops and restaurants and 15 minute walk from train station. It's next door to Cathedral of St Pierre and a 10-15 minute walk from the Carmel of Lisieux, the Basilica of St. Therese, and Les Buissonets (all in different directions). Nice breakfast and friendly staff."

"It’s a motel, not a hotel. Facilities are very poor. The desk is not operating after 9pm so no requests can be fulfilled. We booked as 2 but only had one towel. The “air conditioning” operated not as a heater so it could not cool the room. We will never book a B&B hotel again. "
