Ibis Styles Lisieux Normandie

Comfortable nice rooms. Lovely dinning area and poolside. The staff are so friendly! Breakfast was great. Only downside, not all rooms are AC. But the reception attendant promptly passed me her personal table fan to use! I would be very happy to break journey here again.

We were in a coach party visiting Normandy, basing ourselves at this hotel. The hotel provided a package of B&B, plus evening meal. Our somewhat soulless room with its one kitchen chair was clean and adequate, though, being on the top floor, some of the bedroom area enjoyed limited headroom because of the sloping ceiling. It was said to have been recently refurbished, but they must have missed the velux window, which had flaking paintwork. Anyway, the bedroom and bathroom were acceptable for the three nights we were there. On the first night, the room came with a small bottle of water. After that, you must provide your own, as I was told the hotel policy is one small bottle free ‘per stay’. The breakfast was very good, being a self-serve meal providing the usual array of breakfast foods and I have no complaints about it. Our evening meal, served in a separate area from the main restaurant, was another issue altogether. Having a special (price-focused?) package, our arrangements were not that provided to the hotel's other guests, so my comments should not be taken as a view on the hotel's normal evening-meal provision. I won't describe the food dishes we were presented with, other than to summarise our self-serve evening meals as very poor fare indeed and I would have never accepted such food if it was served to me in a 'proper' restaurant. Staff were friendly and helpful, though on at least one night there seemed to be a shortage of staff, leaving people queuing at the small bar. I would not chose to stay there again, even as a regular guest. However, I did notice that the car park and restaurant on Saturday night seemed quite full, so others may have thought differently to me.
