Deauville, Normandy hotel rooms at the Independent

"Très bon hôtel, location centrale, personnel très sympathique, prix raisonnable, petit déjeuner magnifique. Top !"

"The hotel is very beautiful to look at. The (junior) staff are excellent. The breakfast is very good. But everything appears to be done with a view to appearances. The rooms are newly refurbished but the work has been done cheaply. It won’t last. There was no senior manager on site for much of our stay and the place seemed rudderless. There were occasions when there were no staff to be found. The swimming pool was gated and the gates locked by a mechanism that not one of the guests could...

"Hotel was fine, but my room was on second floor and the stairwell was narrow and stairs were level"

"Great stay. I recommend. Such a treat to have your room cleaned everyday. Although the curtains were dirty (everything else was spotless though). AC would have been nice. Great location and friendly staff. "

"Great location and big rooms! Will return."

"Great hotel for a few nights, a little modern and trendy and fun. "

"Air conditioning should always be available "

"No washcloths, no coffee second day, coffee maker worked poorly, food was left in microwave, rules for using kitchenware was extra charges if not cleaned and put away. No dish liquid soap provided. We did not need kitchenette and when reserving online did not indicate it. Can't call front dedk with room phone had to use cell phone.No shampoo and conditioner. Hair dryer button had to be held down entire time. I would not recommend this hotel. Made for not a perfect vacation. "

"We used as a stopover, apartments are very quiet and spacious. "

"We took the biggest and the most expensive room in this hotel. The room had an amazing big kitchen, yet no normal shelves in the bathroom. Room was big, bed was a tiny queen size. No air conditioner Phone in the room has no connection to the reception/room service/housekeeping etc. For us, the cold welcome, unfriendly attitude - were a first time experience and hopefully the last one.
