Le Crystal Dinard, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western

The journey to the hotel went smoothly. The hotel has an underground car park only about 100 metres from the hotel, which was very spacious by French standards. Bravo. The architecture of the hotel itself is very reminiscent of the 80s and does not fit in at all with the surroundings. The reception at the hotel was dismissive and reserved. Our room turned out to be small and functional, but clean and with a great view of the bay. As our room was cold, we turned on the heating only to find that it had to be activated by reception, which was only done on request. However, the temperature was limited so that the room didn't get really warm. Obvious savings are being made here. The breakfast offer was very small and spartan, old baguette, old bread. In addition, the breakfast room lacked what the car park had in abundance: space. It was very cramped both at the small buffet and at the seats in the adjoining room.

We really enjoyed our stay at this hotel. Our room looked over the bay, and had a balcony with table, chairs and a sun lounger. The beds were very comfortable with really good quality bedlinen, very soft and smooth, and the housekeeping was excellent. Everything was very clean, and the linen changed regularly. We also had a bath, with shower above. So it was very comfortable. The location is excellent, convenient for walks, restaurants and shops and the staff were friendly. Considering there is no chef, breakfast offered a good choice. We would definitely stay again.

Good view of bay Easy free parking opposite hotel. No lift. Awkward stairs from reception to rooms. Not warm enough to use balcony. Room small and short of chairs. Two nights was enough.
