Hotel de Normandie

We stopped here for lunch during our day in Arromanches to visit D-day sites. We had a good lunch with a great serving of grilled sardines, a huge French omelette and the biggest Cafe Gourmande with practically several cake portions each. We were quite late but service was fast corteous and at a very good price.

Dated hotel in need of maintenance. Very poor condition.

Stayed here for 4 nights as a base in the middle of the landing beaches. Hotel is only a few meters walk from Sword beach. Hotel is a little run down. Parking is limted to 5 spaces and always seem to have staff cars in it. Parking mext door was chargeable 7am to 7pm but parking on local streets nearby is free if you can get a space. Hotel was having scaffolding erected when i arrived so if i paid for a room with a sea view i would have been angry. Room itself was pokey and a little mould in the bathroom but nothing major. Bed was comfy.

The cheapest Affligem in Arromanche, but that's the best I can say about the bar -restaurant. We didn't eat in the main restaurant, maybe in there you get a better experience. To be fair we arrived around 8.30pm and hadn't booked but we were shown to a table and given menus. My husband ordered the mozzerella and tomato starter, I the duck terrine. The starters were OK, nothing to shout about though. For main course he chose the risotto, I took a risk and ordered the fish and chips. We hadn't finished our starters when the waiter came and plonked down our main courses! He saw our bemused faces and said the kitchen was very fast! It didn't bode well for the risotto that it had taken less than 10 minutes from ordering to arriving at our table. Honestly it was like mush! We've had over cooked risotto before but this was on another level. Rice pudding would have been less mushy than this. My husband couldn't eat it. The fish and chips... not fresh made batter, in fact if you'd said it had come from the frozen isle at a supermarket I'd not be suprised. It was shockingly bad. The service was swift, in fact you have to be careful you don't get whiplash from the waiters as they zip here and there. Definitely avoid, there are better restaurants in Arromanche. Absolutely no love showed to the food or to serving the customers.

Cheap & cheerful in a good spot Very good position opposite the beach. Lady in reception was very nice & helpful. The hotel was cheap & cheerful, rooms are upstairs from the restaurant. There is no lift , rooms are accessed by stairs only. Breakfast was very good & cheap. A few free parking spaces behind hotel

This is a cute historical hotel that is right behind a beach with some of the D-Day relics on it. Great location close to shops and restaurants as well as historical sites. We could park our rented car for free in the neighboring lot. The bed was also one of the most comfortable that we slept on for our entire stay (we stayed in 6 different hotels) so we got a good night's rest. Highly recommended.
