“Thanks a lot that we could stay at your hotel during the wildfire!! You were very kind to us! 5⭐+”
“Apparently the only hotel open in the off season in Cerbere. Very basic rooms but spotlessly clean. Very spacious. Perfect value.”
“Stayed at during my trip to Cerbère and honestly it was a very pleasant surprise. The hotel is simple, clean, peaceful, and perfectly located close to the beach, train station, restaurants, and the small streets of the town. What stood out the most was the calm atmosphere and the friendliness of the staff. The room was comfortable, well maintained, and great for relaxing after exploring the coast. The location is especially convenient if you are traveling by train or planning to explore nearby coastal areas near the French-Spanish border. The hotel also has a charming local feel rather than feeling like a generic tourist hotel. For the price, it offers very good value, especially considering the location and the quiet environment. A few tips: • Sunset walks near the coastline are beautiful. • Great stop for photographers and slow travelers. • The town itself is very peaceful compared to bigger tourist destinations. Overall, a comfortable and authentic stay in one of the most underrated coastal towns in southern France.”
“Nous avons passé deux nuits avec ma mère et nous nous y sommes senties vraiment très bien. L’hôtel est magnifique, chaleureux et tout est impeccablement propre. Les chambres sont simples mais très jolies, et je tiens particulièrement à souligner la gentillesse et l’accueil familial du service. Si nous revenons un jour en Catalogne Nord, nous choisirons sans hésiter cet hôtel à 100 %”
“Nice, quiet hotel with rather spacious rooms and a very nice courtyard. It's simple but clean. Check-in only between 16:00-18:00”
