Pays d'Auge, Normandy hotel rooms at the Independent

"Absolutely amazing in every way"

"Really convenient as a stopover, room is basic but just right at the price"

"Superb"

"Beautiful property with very friendly staff. Lovely attic room. "

"We had a great stay at the Barriere Royal. The staff was extremely helpful, friendly and accommodating. As we are kosher they not only were able to heat up our food for us but picked it up for us since the establishment wouldn’t deliver. The spa was great, breakfast was delicious and expansive. It is right off the beach and walking distance to all the great shopping. The hotel does feel like it needs a refresh - much of the decor is old. Also I was disappointed to have been charged such a hefty fee to get a beach chair given that it is a beach hotel. "

"Good location with parking "

"This hotel has no lift. It is over 3 floors. The stIrs are narrow. Our original booking had us on 3rd floor. I contacted the hotel because of my poor mobility and they put us on the first floor and helped carry up luggage."

"The hotel is near the beach and the estuary. There is plenty of cheap parking nearby. Our only criticism is that there is no air-conditioning. Apart from that we would recommend the hotel. The town is well worth visiting. "

"Great stay to explore Normandie. The breakfast spread was amazing. We had the family suite, 2 levels and very private. Bathroom and cups/dishes could be a bit cleaner, otherwise the rooms, bedding were all great. Free night parking right outside. Felt very safe at the marina. "
