It was lovely to be able to get drinks and snacks late at night after coming off the ferry
Ideally located only 14 km north of Caen, La Villa Andry makes an excellent base for discovering the protected area of the Pointe du Siège and the Côte de Nacre.

Lovely, homely hotel; friendly staff and very well located. I was on a short military history trip and it was an ideal sanctuary. I know it will get busier in the summer, and deservedly so, including my fellow Brits, but just sitting in the mornings and evenings with a few French holidaymakers this week has been wonderful. Thank you.

The location is excellent for using the ferry crossing in or out of Ouistreham and it's easy to find being only 3 minutes from leaving the ferry terminal. There is plenty of car parking. We arrived late but the remote check-in was easy to use. The hotel is still relatively new and the public areas as well as the rooms are bright, clean and airy. The bed was large and comfortable and the facilities in the room were very good. In the morning the staff were very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was good quality and plentiful. Overall, this is the best B&B Hotel my wife and I have stayed in.
Located in the heart of Ouistreham, a 5-minute drive from the ferry port, Hotel Le Cosy Riva Bella is an ideal place to relax after a day spent discovering the Côte Fleurie and the D-Day landing...

Hotel is well located for the beach and car ferry. Hotel room was functional and clean (although see below). This Hotel seems principally used for its Spa Facilities by a predominantly French client base (judging by car registrations in the Hotel Car Park).
Featuring garden views, Cocon Maritime offers accommodation with a terrace, around less than 1 km from Sword Beach. It is set 17 km from Botanical Garden of Caen and features bicycle parking.

It is a lovely place to discover, beautiful walkways along the the marina, the historic center is pretty. The big problem is the presence of the africans,, all young men with Iphones and trendy clothing, certainly not refugees, lurking around everywhere, day and night, breaking into UK cars, if they are big enough to try to get to England. They are squatting around every corner, littering , urinating etc. Really it is a shame.

We were getting there to eat at "La moulerie" in front of the Casino (for sea food) and get to the "Criée" early in the morning to buy fish and sea food. We managed to get everything done properly.

I really wasn't there long enough to say anything about Ouistreham itself - I stopped briefly in Caen on the way and I certainly enjoyed the old half-timbered houses in the centre. The Castle will be a must see on my next visit, as will the beautiful old Norman/Romanesque churches and the nearby coastline, such as nearby-Dives-sur-Mer, where I stayed on a previous trip to Normandy and I can certainly recommend with its ancient church. Falaise Castle, said to be the castle of William the Conqueror, is the far side of Caen.

We have been here 20+ times as it is our twin town.
We have been here 20+ times as it is our twin town. The beach is lovely, the town is pleasant and we always have a good time. We stayed here in the hotel for one night after a trip further south and chose the Hotel du Phare because of its position. It is a typical, old style French hotel. The drains smell was off putting: the breakfast was good and the staff excellent.

Be prepared to walk a lot, so comfy shoes a must, I did find out on my last day that you can hire push bikes at the beach per hour, which is great because Ouistreham and it’s surrounding are quite big, the beaches are spotless and very impressive as is the history surrounding the area, I would say the area is very geared up for French tourism, so a basic grasp of French is a good idea, as most menus, and staff only speak French, having said that, there are plenty of English speaking people around in case your struggling !!

The resort was a surprise, because we expected just the port, but when we went for a wander around after driving up from Guidel Plages we found the enormous long sandy beach and all the amenities. It’s obviously hugely popular on warm days and stretches for miles. Many of the 2nd WW beaches are within easy reach. This might not be the prettiest place, but it has a lot more going for it than we had expected.
Hotel was easy to find and there was free parking available close to the Hotel (ask the staff - the parking just outside is limited). The room was very clean and large and had a great view of the ferry port and lighthouse. The bed was very comfy and it was very quiet at night. The bar/restaurant on-site was very good and the food was of a really good standard. There were also other bars and restaurants nearby - much better than those in the town centre. The free WIFI worked very well.
Overall enjoyed our stay at Ibis Styles hotel, pleasant staff and nice breakfast. We traveled from Paris, so we took train to Gare Caen and than changed to a local bus, which cost only 2 Euro per person. Sandy beach is very nice and huge, in my observation it's better to go to the beach early morning as it is nice and no wind, after around lunch time the wind start picking up.
It was very quiet and clean, we relaxed a lot in the pools and me and mg mother enjoyed the different treatments. I really loved the relaxing massage although it’s only 25 minutes. The hotel is located in front of a big beach which allows for long and nice walks. Breakfast was really good with lots of choice.
Perfect location arriving as a foot passenger at night, the hotel is just across the road from the terminal. We were able to visit the beach and local museum on foot, before getting a bus to Caen for onward connections. Everything within a 10 minute walk. Nice breakfast.
The room was beautiful and clean. There is a real family-business sense about the place and service was good and was very personalised. The hotel was full of charm and I would definitely recommend on balance. Very relaxed but attentive customer service.
Nothing. It was so horrendous that we stayed for about half an hour before deciding the situation was unsalvagable, and we left and got a room at a nearby hotel. This us a terrible accomodation for someone who's got to catch an early ferry.
Friendly and helpful staff. Good value breakfast. Nice, clean and modern room with hot drinks supplied. Good location for exploring Ouistreham or the wider region. Close to the ferry terminal and town centre with good restaurants nearby.
Didn't have breakfast had early ferry to catch could start earlier but set up looked really good. Location perfect for bars, restaurants, boulanger, beach and ferry port. Staff very welcoming and lovely quintessential period hotel.
Proximity to ferry port, secure gated parking and very friendly staff. Good hotel a few miles from the ferry port with late check-in. Very pleasant lounge area with small bar. Rooms are clean and well appointed. Dog friendly.
Easy to find when coming off the ferry in the evening. Reception was open and easy to deal with.
Breakfast had a great choice of cereal, toast, croissants, yoghurts,ham and cheese and ham. All staff were pleasant and welcoming.
We arrived in Caen very late from the ferries and a member of staff contacted me to give me the code to get in to the hotel and left the keys with my name and instructions. I really appreciate it that.
Excellent location for ferry port, out of hours welcome worked fine and hotel is located in a walled compound which is secure overnight. Good range of items available at breakfast.
Just off the ferry and hotel was 2 miles down the road to Caen. Great value for a comfortable nights sleep stopover. No frills but really well done and good breakfast too.
Greeted and made to feel welcome instantly. Loved the hotel bar. Great service, coffee and wine!
Really comfortable bed and clean room. Thanks Hôtel Le Cosy Riva Bella.
