Quiet and comfortable. The staff were very friendly and attentive. It’s good that they have their own car park, even though it is a five minute walk away. Breakfast was good and it was quiet at night. We would certainly return.

Hotel was easy to find and is in a very central location. Private parking was just a short walk away. Upon check in with Victor who is really friendly, we were shown to our ground floor room which was charming and spacious. The bathroom was huge and really well equipped with bath and walk-in shower, plenty of towels and a modern decor. Victor suggested we dine at the restaurant L’Escale situated right next door which turned out to be an excellent choice and great atmosphere. Food was superb and our server was very attentive. I would definitely stay at l’Absinthe again when I visit the vibrant town of Honfleur as I could find no fault with the hotel, location and service.

A wonderful visit!
Our stay at L’Absinthe Hotel was wonderful. The location in the heart of Honfleur harbor with dozens of smart cafés, restaurants and boutiques cannot be matched. The hotel itself is incredibly charming and comfortable. The owner, Victor, as well as the rest of the staff were very warm and welcoming. I cannot recommend this hotel enough.

Disappointed
We did not understand that the room we were allocated would not be part of the main hotel. Parking was far away and getting our bags to the room was quite difficult. That night directly below our room, room 9 was a party going on in an open roofed area with a large getto blaster. We did not get to sleep until midnight. Breakfast the following morning was disappointing for 15 euros.

Great old hotel, property is nice. You are smack dab in the middle of tourist ville so it can be pretty noisy. Location can’t be beat, I mean you are right in the heart of it.

Perfect stay in Honfleur!
After a delayed flight we almost arrived too late to check but the host at front desk called to check on our arrival then helpedwith our bags and even managed to get us the last table at the amazing restaurant next door for their last seating. Perfect location and loved walking and exploring the next morning. Would love to go back!

Great hospitality
Wonderful stay in Honfleur! Victor at reception was so incredibly friendly and helpful with parking, dinner recommendations and information. He alone made it a great visit. Hotel and restaurant have different owners now and hotel is small but worth it on harbor and in the midst of old town.

Honfleur by the harbor.
The location by the main harbor is amazing. You can literally walk out the entrance of the hotel and start to shop or eat. The trade off is the lack of onsite parking. There is a wonderful secure parking area for the hotel but it requires you to walk 600meters. Victor, the concierge was very helpful and the rooms were very clean. Lights on
