Le Grand Hôtel De L'espérance

“A delightful french hotel”

A fully modernised hotel which has kept the the atmosphere and design of a traditional French hotel. Rooms are large and high ceilings give it an even greater sense of space. Evening meals were good and the restaurant patronised by local residents as well as guests

Loved our stay in this beautiful hotel with charming decor and modern facilities. Our room 394 on the 3rd floor was lovely with large secondary glazed windows and long black out curtains stopping noise from outside which could be heard only if you opened the secondary doors in front of the original windows. Bathroom was exceptionally clean serviced every day. It had an up to date shower and enclosure. Loved the old doors and very high ceilings. Our door key was bent and was a little troublesome but the lock was oiled after we had reported it to reception. The breakfasts and evening meals were highly enjoyed every day. Staff are welcoming and friendly and speak excellent English. Our trip organisers had arranged for our coach group to have a kettle and tea coffee sugar in our rooms which they honoured and replenished supplies for us every day. They also gave us fresh milk from the bar or milk cartons from reception whenever we asked. I understand they may not always do this. We Brits do love a cuppa! We had several early morning starts and staff very kindly opened the dining room for breakfasts very early on several occasions of which we were very grateful.

Our first overnight stop after crossing into France, the hotel is situated in Lisieux which is about four and a half hours from the channel tunnel. Found it very easily on the main street in Lisieux, it also has its own private secure garage parking which is part of the hotel building. Check in was good and quick. Nice clean room but again with daily high temperatures unable to open the windows during the evening/night. We had dinner in the hotels restaurant which was served at your table whilst breakfast was self service. Good location but think there are other hotels as good if not better.
