We were 4 friends travelling to Etretat to see the cliffs. We took a room for 4 people in the hotel, it was really nice: big enough, with a clean bathroom, lots of towels, everything in working condition. In the evening before supper, we went downstairs and discovered a very cozy common room, with a free selection of tea, and... More

They have great unusual decor in the rooms. We had a little record player and colourful painting on wall. It's a nice place and very friendly. Characterful. More

well situated in the centre of etretat, close to an accessible municipal car park, this apparently standard french hotel is run by an enthusiastic young eccentric anglophile. the rooms are themed along the lines of a nostalgic range of detectives, we stayed in the miss marple room , which my wife found delightful and very funny.this is not an hotel...

We stayed in the CSI suite for 4 people. 1 bunk bed, 1 double bed and a bathroom. No luxury, but perfect for 4 friends traveling together. The themed idea made it a fun experience as well. Very comfortable and clean. The owners were extremely friendly and spoke great English. More

You will either love or hate this hotel, we prefer to love it. Charming friendly owners. Excellent French breakfast. Yes the rooms are small and not all the bits work, but 3 nights for £220 including breakfast is fine, especially in France. Etretat is a town on the Normandy coast and a joy to visit. At weekends it is rammed... More

Etretat is a small village, but this hotel is right on the main driveway and 20 mts from a public parking. The rooms are interestingly themed around detective tv programs. We stayed at the Magnum PI. We had booked for a 2 twin-bed room, but found a double bed. The owner immediately offered to change it to a 2 twin... More

Every room has a different detective theme. The Hercule Poirot was nice without being 'overthemed'. Lots of detective stuff around the hotel which made it quite fun. The bar looked nice but unfortunately closed before we returned from supper - typical small town France. Good breakfast. Overall good value. More

The detective is a very nice hotel. Well situated in the center of Etretat. Rooms are small but nice. I definitely recommend this hotel. The only point is the poor breakfast. For 8€ you could find much better deal in Etretat. More

Location very good to get around the town and parking nearby in the town hall carpark. Pictures on web were quite deceiving as we thought the rooms would be better decorated.No space to put clothes just a few hangers.Hotel a bit tired needs updating really but for 2 star ok. More

We stayed one night, and the experience was up and down. From TripAdvisor recommendations, I googled the property and they have their own website, in French and an English version. I emailed them for a room for two on such and such a date, and quickly a reply, "book through the website." Why only rely on that? Email and phone... More
