Really enjoyed this hotel. I had a water view room in the annex and really liked it. Nice sized modern room and very comfortable. Great bathroom with jet tub and separate rain shower. AC and flat screen. Nice view and despite facing the street the windows kept out all noise. The main building was right around the corner, and it... More

We stayed in the "new" addition of this hotel and were very pleased with everything about it...all new construction, clean, flat screen TV, spa/whirlpool bath--not at all what I expected when booking, but a pleasant surprise. We had a harbor view, which wasn't as great as I anticipated, but should have booked a hotel with a "basin" view, I guess....It... More

My husband and I stayed in this beautiful town in February 2012. The location of the hotel is great and it is within a very short walking distance to all the restaurants and sights. The rooms are still very quiet despite its great location. We thought the hotel was a good value but we did go in the off season.... More

This hotel is not quite on the harbor, but it is a lovely destination nonetheless. As I recall, the woman in reception told me the hotel dates to the 1600s, and it has all the character that age implies. It is a lovely building on a waterway that is meters from the main picturesque yacht harbor of the town. The... More

My first stop on the way to the Normandy beaches. What a pleasant stay! My first floor room had a walk-in shower large enought for 4 people! The bed was very comfortable. And perhaps the best part is the restaurant right across from the hotel (same name). The food was superb!

We had a great stay at l'Absinthe. Service was good, room quite nice. Location is outstanding - virtually on the water, right in the heart of the old town. The restaurant was top notch. And, don't miss the almond croissants at the boulangerie a few steps from the hotel.

We were catching a cruise ship from the port of Honfleur and booked a room that overlooked the harbor. Cost was higher than other rooms in hotel but was definitely worth the extra dollars. Room was in newer building and was very spacious. The next day I asked the lady at front desk if we could leave bags in room... More

We found L'Absinthe when walking around Honfleur after precipitously checking out of our previous hotel. We walked in off the street and the very friendly waitress/receptionist raced from her breakfast service to assist us. Although she spoke no English, we managed to muddle through with my rusty high school French, with which she was very patient. When we returned later... More

We stayed at L'Absinthe in April. The hotel is in an excellent position in Honfleur. You get a code to get in and out as there isnt much of a reception, but suited us perfectly. Parking in public car park nearby, 12 euros for 24 hrs. Hotel room very pretty, with large clean modern bathroom. Free wi fi. We ate... More

We enjoyed our one night stay at this hotel. It is perfectly located in the heart of Honfleur. We parked in the hotel garage, which was several blocks away, but was locked and private, We were using a friend's car, so it was worth the cost and slight inconvenience. Breakfast was extra, but served in a charming room and with... More
