Hotel First Eco Dieppe

Location and Accessibility: The hotel is conveniently situated near ferry terminals, with easy parking and a short walk to the town center.

We booked this room on the way north to Dieppe. On arrival, we were shown to a room on the ground floor which stunk of urine and tobacco smoke. We checked out the 'shared facilities (showers and wc)' which were not fit for use, i.e., they were filthy and stunk to high heaven. We cancelled our reservation due to the above (non refundable for obvious reasons). So if you fancy sleeping in a room smelling like a latrine gutter, this is the place for you. Always remember that cholera is a pretty unpleasant disease.

Honestly this chain needs a major update. No sink in the toilets is not really acceptable anymore, especially as the shower next door didn’t have one either. But I forgot that the showers and toilets were shared anyway and it was a let down. You also don’t get any towels. Inside the room the bed was rock hard. It wasn’t a mattress, more of a pad that was really hard and thin. There wasn’t a duvet but a top cover blanket thing which was really worn. The bedroom was tiny and the door hit the bed when we opened it. It was also noisy and smelt like smoke. A bit of a shame. A B&B hotel on the outskirts of Paris was not much more expensive and had great rooms, a large bed and a bathroom and air conditioning. A refurb might improve things. The staff are all very friendly though.
