We stayed there last night.
When we booked the hotel or when we arrived, nobody bothered to tell us that outside our hotel was a public celebration that would last until 1 am.
I should also add that we are a young family with a 3 year old son that could not sleep and cried until midnight because of the loud music.
There was no one at reception at 22:30 when we came down to ask for a change of room, even though the sign said that someone should be there until midnight.
We suffered, we were frustrated and there was no one to talk to.
The next morning we asked for the manager that claimed the following:
1. He didn't know we had a child with us - that info was provided on the booking website and the booking was for a family room
2. He can't give us compensation since we already paid for the room on the website (booking.com) - lie! He later charged us for the night in cash (after a long argument, gave us a 10 euro discount on 94 euro bill)

We will never ever stay in that hotel again and will not recommend it to anyone.

Cher Monsieur,
Mon attachement à satisfaire tous les clients est un engagement de tous les instants qui ne souffre aucune exception. De l’arrivée au départ, tous les moyens, dont je maîtrise la gestion, sont mis en oeuvre pour permettre à nos clients de passer le meilleur des séjours. A l’impossible, nul n’est tenu, spécialement pour des évènements extérieurs à notre établissement tels qu’une fête foraine locale qui s’est terminée à 24h30. Je veux bien comprendre une certaine gêne devant tant d’incivilité nocturne et je vous exprime à nouveau mes plus vives excuses concernant ce point de votre complainte.
Par contre, je ne peux laisser sans réponses les inexactitudes (euphémisme) de votre commentaire.

Vous n’avez pas réservé une chambre familiale mais une chambre triple et vous n’avez pas rédigé de demande particulière concernant l’âge de votre enfant. Je tiens la copie de votre réservation à votre disposition et celle de Trip Advisor). Je vous rappelle que l’hôtel n’effectue aucun pré-paiement et qu’il est bien inscrit sur votre réservation que vous n’avez pas payé votre séjour.
La réception est même ouverte toute la nuit (il suffit juste d’utiliser la sonnette de nuit qui est à votre disposition et un numéro de téléphone d’urgence est indiqué dans le hall de l’hôtel.
Vous avez demandé une compensation financière (ce fut bizarrement rapidement votre unique préoccupation) qui vous a été octroyée après avoir refusé de vous voir offrir les petits déjeuners puisque commandés puis annulés à plusieurs reprises!!!
Puisque vous semblez vouloir qualifier de mensonger notre comportement, je ne voudrais pas mentir par omission en oubliant d’indiquer aux internautes, très intéressés par ces discussions électroniques, que vous alliez quitter l’établissement sans avoir régler votre séjour !!! Sans l’intervention de la responsable, c’était la double peine, commentaire désastreux à venir (et grivèlerie.

En qualité de professionnel de l’hôtellerie je comprends et j’accepte d’être soumis à la critique de la part des clients lorsque celle-ci est fondée, honnête et se rapportant à des faits ayant lieu dans l’environnement de l’établissement, ce qui n’est pas du tout le cas en l’espèce. Dès lors, cher Monsieur, vous comprendrez que c’est avec plaisir que je prends note de votre décision de ne plus venir dans mon établissement.

Dear Sir,
My attachment to satisfy all customers is a commitment of all the moments no exception. From arrival to departure, all ways, I control management are implemented to enable our customers to make the best stay. At the impossible, no one is required, especially for outdoor events such as a party at our local carnival which ended at 24:30. I can understand some discomfort to many night incivility and again I express my deepest apology for this point of your complaint.
For cons, I can not leave unanswered inaccuracies (understatement) of your comment.

You have not booked a family room but a triple room and you have not written in a special request for the age of your child. I hold a copy of your booking at your disposal and the Trip Advisor). I remind you that the hotel does not take any pre-payment and it is listed on your reservation that you have not paid your stay.
The reception is even open all night (just had to use the ringbell at your disposal) and a emergency phone number is shown in the lobby of the hotel.
You asked for financial compensation (it was oddly quickly your only concern) that was granted after refusing to see you offer breakfast as ordered and canceled several times!
Since you seem to qualify as lying our behavior, I would not lie by omission by forgetting to tell users, very interested in these electronic discussions that you were going to leave the institution without pay for your stay! Without the intervention of the head, it was double penalty, comment disastrous future and making off without payment.

As the hotel industry professional I understand and agree to be subject to criticism from customers when it is based, honest and relating to events taking place in the environment of the establishment , which is not at all the case here. Therefore, dear sir, you will understand that it is with pleasure that I take note of your decision not to come to my hotel.

We stayed here so that we could easily visit the coastal resorts like Honfleur, Deauville and Trouville. The double rooms were quite small and, although the twin room was more spacious, it was on the second floor, accessed by a tricky twisty staircase. (No lift). Excellent shower with bath and plenty of hot water. Breakfast was adequate. The patron was very friendly and spoke excellent English. Several cafes and restaurants in the vicinity. Nice hotel garden and parking.

Room tip: No lift, no rooms on ground floor and stairs not easy for anyone with mobility problems.

Arrived cold and tired but were soon brought back to normal by the warm welcome from the owner and a great hot bath - a real comfortable one which is not usual for some hotels on the continent. The room was very comfortable and beautifully furnished. A very comfortable bed and garden view ensured a great night's sleep. Our host recommended a wonderful restaurant and in the morning he supplied one of the best breakfasts we had in France. A great place to say close to Deauville, the ferry ports and because of its facilities is well worth a detour.

My Fiancee and I recently stayed at the Petit Castel Hotel while making arrangements for our wedding in the area. The hotel was very clean, quiet, had spacious rooms, and had private parking. There's even a quiet large backyard area to relax in with tables and chairs. The location is perfect for anyone exploring Normandy as it is an easy drive to many of the main sites. The English speaking owner was MORE than helpful with anything we asked. He even volunteered to walk us to something in town that we were looking for and even stayed and translated for us! Now that's service! We will definitely be staying here again when in the area.
