Hotel Normandy  

We liked the originality of the hotel which is more like a B&B. It is basic, but clean and nicely situated. Lovely views from most of the rooms. Breakfast was fine and ample. The host and hostess were friendly and helpful; they are interested in art, design and fashion, having worked in these milieus. Very reasonably priced. Not a place for pampered (spoiled) older Americans but great for everyone else.

Liked everything about the hotel, though there is no elevator if you have heavy bags. Only problem is buses were jammed, taxis not readily available. Parking not easy, yet really do need a car to get around. Cap D'Ail is located on the side of mountain, so there's a lot of walking. Side streets are steep but beautiful.

Individual feeling. Friendly atmosphere. Very nice staff and assistants. Unique and quirky independent hotel. Good location and nice views.

This little hotel is a special place! It has a really good location, beautiful sea views from the rooms and the terrace, differs from every other hotel around and has a really friendly staff! We were grreeted very friendly with good tips for getting around and restaurants, the older ladies who are there for cleaning and breakfast don't speak a word of English, but are very friendly and do their job well! Everything is clean and the mattresses gave us a good night sleep. The younger ladies speak good to mother tongue English and are always glad to help out. It only takes you about a 15 minutes walk to the nice plage Mala, a beautiful beach in Cap d'Ail.

The furniture seem to be around 30 years old, we didn't even touch the fan being afraid we could break it by plugging it in. our bathroom was a bit older and some hooks come off the wall when you trie to hang towels on them. The water pressure is not too good, it's an older buidling, so when we had a no-flushing-toilet with water coming out of the wall we told it to one of the younger hotel workers and they assured us to check on it. Well, we don't know what they checked, but there was still water coming out of the wall... but the toilet flushed, thank God! There was no air conditioning so when you travel in hot weeks be sure to close the blinds on your window when you leave the room. When we left, we were sad but only because of the location of the hotel, not the hotel itself. If you are looking for a special place, Hotel Normandy is perfect, if you're looking for a comfortable one, better go someplace else.

I have mixed feelings about this hotel... When we arrived we were told that there were no rooms available for us and they didn't receive any reservations from our side. Hotel staff doesn't speak english at all (except the lady owner but she was tricky to catch) so it took us a while to sort it out. Hotel is full of old crap from junkyard (they call it - Art) with tiny, dirty rooms for midgets. Be aware there is no air-con so during hot days You be probably spending most of the time in cold shower like we did. We've had fan in our room (probably from junkyard as well) which sounded like a military helicopter landing somewhere nearby. In spite a lot of cons we quite enjoyed our stay. Location was very good. Monaco was 5 mins by car and Mala beach (nicest beach on French riviera) was 15 min walk. All in all You can't put a 'crap' label on this one... Owners are trying to make it a nice place but probably don't know how.

- no A/C - dirty

Location to Monaco and public transport

Tricky to find and parking

The breakfast - optional ,but the best value for money to be got on the Cote D'Azur. On arriving we were upgraded to a fabulous superior room by our hostess Michelle. An added bonus was our encounter with Fiona (from Ireland) who looked after us for breakfasting the morning.

A great small hotell run in a manner which makes you feel welcome and well looked after by the owner.The best breakfast we had on our french trip by far. Fresh coffee, wholewheat bread,fruit,yoghurt and lots more to give you a good start to the day.( A sort of Scandinavian/French style breakfast,).The hotell is perfectly positioned, not far from the beach,railway station, bus stop and shops.At the same time very peaceful and quiet.

A hostile type b&b, does not have a/C. 15 minute walk to the beach. If you are a family or couple looking for a seaside 3 star hotel skip Cap 'Ail and drive a few more miles east to Menton where you will find realy nice 3 star hotels right on the sea.

Booked a three day stay and left after 1 night, however we were charged for all three nights. Change modification agreement was in the bookings agreement so we did not argue, we paid for 3 nights.

The breakfast was nice. They had cereal, fruit, breakfast pastries, cheeses, coffee, espresso, juice and other things which made a nice variety from the typical continental breakfast that we had been receiving. The hotel was simple and well located with easy access to the main road and the bus system.

no air conditioner, no fan in rooms in such area seem odd. sleeping with open window is way too loud. Pretty negative experience for 100 Euros.

The room was very small and very basic

Very nice & friendly family owns it, great location, good price, clean, nicely decorated.

Excellent. Very nice owner. Very clean rooms. Nice view! perfect experience. Thank you.

Lage ist sehr gut.

Sauberkeit könnte besser sein. Renovierungsstau.

La personne qui nous préparait le petit-déjeuner : très charmante, aimable : a véritablement relevé le "niveau" de l'accueil.

L'accueil de la Directrice : à peine arrivés, elle nous a dit "vous avez un chien ; je ne les accepte pas" et de nous expliquer qu'il y a avait des pbs avec les chiens dans les chambres ; ce à quoi j'ai répondu, que sur lors de la réservation, j'avais noté que l'on venait avec un chien et que si cela l'embêtait, on pouvait aller ailleurs ;..du coup, elle nous a "gentiment" dit qu'elle nous faisait un prix 10€ pour 2 nuits pour le chien ....(alors qu'au départ, on ne connaissait même pas le prix) ; du coup, elle a fait ce qu'elle voulait. Je pense que c'est une personne de nationalité finlandaise qui confond l'hôtel avec chambre d'hôtes car on a vraiment eu l'impression d'être chez elle. On n'y retournera pas. On a d'ailleurs failli partir au bout d'une nuit au lieu de deux.

Familjärt hotell med personlig prägel och karaktär och med en charmerande värdinna

N/A

La gentillesse de l'accueil. La situation. Le calme. L'emplacement central. Proximité bord de mer. Vue. Les lits.

La proprété n'était que moyenne au niveau des sols de la chambre et de la salle de bain. Il semble que les femmes de ménages viennent de commencer.

Accueil téléphonique désagréable

le coté familial, peu conventionnel. avec une touche artistique.

Localisation de l'établissement (proximité de Monaco) Accueil

Literie en trés mauvais état Chasse d'eau fuyante Etat de la baignoire

Mi è stato addebitato un importo di 20 euro per I cani che soggiornavano con me, senza preavviso, nonostante avessi scritto all'hotel contestualmente alla prenotazione, circa la loro presenza. Ho pagato 190 euro totali (su 170 + tasse previsti dalla prenotazione) e, non sono attualmente in grado di verificare se, l'importo della prima notte (85 euro), che secondo la vostra conferma di prenotazione era già stato trattenuto dalla mia carta di credito, è stato poi stornato o meno.

sauf la proximité du bus et Monaco ,rien !!!

le mépris de la patronne ( nous n'étions pas là pour le yacht show ).elle nous a demandé de payer le séjour à l'arrivée y compris les petits déjeuner qui étaient minables .dans la chambre j'ai demandé un sèche cheveux que l'on m'a amené avec son support et les chevilles ( au cas ou je me promènerais avec une perceuse !)brûlure de cigarette sur la couverture .le jour de mon départ j'ai constaté que la chasse d'eau ne se remplissait plus et que de l'eau coulait derrière ,la patronne nous à carrément accusé de l'avoir cassée puisque avant il n'y avait rien ! je signale également que les photos sur le site ne correspondent pas à la réalité ,pas de salle à mangé avec de jolies nappes blanches ,mais des cendriers pleins de mégots sur la terrasse .la patronne n'a pas sa place pour reçevoir des touristes de part son arrogance et son mépris .la chambre que nous avions (affichée 100 euros ) ne mérite pas plus de 60 euros malgré la proximité de Monaco .il ne faut pas prendre les touristes pour des cons .

Et meget spesielt hotell hvor den gode atmosfære råder. Her er det små forhold, så du kommer tett på de andre gjestene. Dette er et hotell man kommer tilbake til.

La posizione vicino al mare e al centro

Si francamente la stanza era minuscola e non funzionava nemmeno lo sciacuone del water. Due stelle mi sembrano troppe!

L'Hotel est tres mal indiqué, il n'ya que peu de places de parking et trop petites pour des voitures supérieures en taille a une Smart..... La chambre dans laquelle j'etais etait toute petite avec une vue imprenable sur la une palissade. Pas d'ascenceur...... On vous parle principalement en Anglais.... Pendant le grand prix de Monaco, une chambre peut monter jusqu'a 390€ pour une chambre qui dans n'importe quel autre ville de France ne vaudrait pas plus de 65€.
