Hotel Chantereyne

Check-in was very fast and efficient - and friendly. The room was plain but very roomy. Breakfast was ample with a good selection of hot and cold and cereals and coffee on demand - no waiting for refills. The breakfast room looked out on a pleasant little garden. The hotel was very quiet and beside a pleasant marina. It was reasonably close to the quayfront restaurants and beside the cathedral. It was open 24 hours.

Probably the worst thing is there is no lift, although it is a low-rise hotel and the staff will carry luggage up to your room. The room itself had bars of soap and a shampoo dispenser but no moisturising cream, shower cap or hair conditioner. There is no public transport available at all in the area and taxis, which were an absolute disaster in Cherbourg, took 20 minutes to arrive after being called. Reception gave us a long speech about how this was due to the bridge being up but we had just walked over the bridge and it was down! You really need a car to stay in this hotel. The 'luggage room' was a cupboard already full with no lock or security check on the bags being taken away.

We have frequently used this excellent hotel while visiting friends in Cherbourg. As always, we were welcomed by cheerful staff (even though a late ferry meant that we arrived after midnight). The prices are v reasonable, so close to the town centre and the sailing harbour but with a wide open space of grass in front of it, and convenient parking in view of the hotel. The facilities are plain but well kept and very comfortable. Though this time we took breakfast with our friends at their home, we know the beakfast is excellent.

The weather!

Very helpful receptionist. Seeing our age and luggage, changed our booking from 1st to ground floor (there is no lift). Also gave information about nearby restaurants (all within a few hundred yards). 10 minutes from ferry.

The hotel has no car park but there is lots of well lit public parking within a hundred yards and within view of the hotel. The breakfast was fine but without a lot of choice. Cherbourg is digging up its roads so there may be disruptive roadworks nearby during the week (we stayed on a weekend).

The best part about this property is its staff. Every person I encountered from the hotel was very courteous, helpful, and kind. Although there was not time to partake of it, this hotel offers a good assortment of beverages from their bar. With a longer stay, I could easily imagine enjoying a cold beer or cider on the terrace. It’s a very short walk to see the surrounding harbor & even with the road construction happening throughout the town, it was easy to walk to the local shops and restaurants.

Extra large spacious room. Extremely comfortable bed. A bath!!! Hurrah. So few hotels offer a bath these days. Staff genial and friendly. Enough towels. Enough pillows. Good pillows. Fridge for drinks .complimentary water and plenty of tea/ coffee. Breakfast plentiful but a little disorganised.

Couldn't master AC - so room stuffy because reluctant to leave window open at night as I am a single woman on the ground floor. Breakfast a little disappointing... Sausages were frankfurters and eggs congealed. Tea very weak...and long life milk in room curdled in the tea. Entrance to hotel not signposted from road and busy traffic made finding entrance a little nerve wracking.

We liked the twin beds and also that there was room for a coffee table and armchair. The bathroom and toilet were separate,which was nice. The room was clean and smelled nice. The beds were comfortable and breakfast was plentiful.

There was traffic noise from the road, unfortunately we could not close the window as it was too hot in the room. We would have liked a ventilator in the room as it was very hot.

- Fast Check-in & Check-out - Comfy beds - Quiet and central location - Coffee & tea in the room - Nice breakfast, and they let us stay past the time when it was supposed to end which we appreciated

- Breakfast lounge could be cleaner / buffet could have more variety - Only one bottle of water in the room's mini-fridge for 2 people - The room was a bit cold, there seemed to be no heater/ac apart from the towel heater

Great location for us as it’s near the ferry port, and a dog friendly hotel. The beds were very comfortable! My sister was assigned a disabled room on the ground floor for her mobility issues with a bathroom very well set out in her opinion. She also had her two small dogs in the room (they were allowed in the breakfast area in the morning). We used the free parking facilities very close to the hotel.

Nothing, the staff were very helpful.

The location was perfect for the ferry to the UK. The bed was very comfortable. The breakfast was very good.

Because of the heat, we had to open the windows and people outside were noisy, including the drunks at 3.00am! There was no air conditioning - fair enough, it is Cherbourg - but there was a “radiator” which was capable of blowing air which would have cooled us so we could close the window. But the “radiator” had been shut down so it could be used in this way.

Great and friendly staff, very helpful and always smiling. Super-clean rooms, sheets and towels. Unexpectedly quiet for a hotel near a port. Nice view on marina. The room was big enough to feel cosy and comfortable. Location near city center and, 15-20 minutes on foot to museum or railway station. For the money we paid absolutely recommended!

Maybe make check-in a litte earlier and check-out a little later ))
