Hôtel La Côte Océane

There was no indication the hotel was under renovation, which was surprising to see upon arrival and no mention of it at all.

There was no advance mention of the renovation going on.

Absolutely nothing, except perhaps the room was clean

We can only give the proprietor the benefit of the doubt and think we were given a room not normally occupied by guests especially as the room did not appear to have a telephone. It was the smallest most depressing room we had ever stayed in and although it did have a wardrobe this remained locked during our stay. We could, however, see through a gap in the door that there was neither a hanging rail or hangers, so we did not bother to unpack. In the bathroom the shower head would not stay attached to its fixture so had to be held by hand. We thought the hotel was very tired and in need of some major refurbishment.

The owners couple of the hotel is very friendly. The hotel furthermore is simple, staircase to all the rooms, (was there an elevator?) and very basic and quiet old fashioned rooms. The sandy beach is 200 meters walking. Just in front of the hotel is a public parking area, free of charge. The French style breakfast was friendly managed by the owners couple.

The connecting rooms were simple. In one room (with twin beds) was a sink and in the other room (with double bed) was the bathroom with toilet. So the older kids had to pass the parents room always. It could be better when the beds are changed to the other room! The door between the connecting rooms could not be locked! So there is a lack of privacy. The toilet made a lot of noise ... poor neighbours!
