Best Western Hotel La Mare O Poissons

We stayed here as part of my husband's business trip last weekend. An excellent hotel, welcomed warmly by the staff and they couldn't do enough for us. When we arrived the carpark was full of vintage VW cars (some dating back to 1913) as well as a wonderful De Lorean and a couple of English classics. Unfortunately, by the time we got back from our evening meal in the town, all the cars had gone, so we missed a photo opp. Enjoyed the stay, wi-fi was strong and the bed and other facilities were excellent. Thankfully a lift to the upper floors so we didn't have to lug our bags upstairs. We didn't stay for breakfast (had to make an early start) so can't comment on that. Very convenient for the ferry port too. less

Not sure what to expect of this Hotel I had booked it through Brittany Ferries but this Hotel has exceeded all my expectations fantastic rooms , great staff , new indoor swimming pool , and the most amazing food , try the three course set menu with great choices for each course my choice was oysters , rump steak , and apple tart it was superb , I would recommend this Hotel to anyone in the area especially those travelling on the ferry from Ouistreham . less

With friends, I stopped here on my last night of a motorcycle tour through France. I arrived and it took 15 minutes to find anyone to check me in. I checked into a single room. I asked when the restaurant would open and was told that it was closed that night because a self-congratulatory promotional marketing bash for local dignitaries was being held by the hotel. How about the bar snacks menu on all the tables? No. The kitchen is too busy. Where is the nearest restaurant? 5 minutes by taxi but no taxi was available for 80 minutes. Or a 20 minute walk. So we walked to the nearby Macdonalds through a petrol station and empty supermarket car park watched by what appeared to be illegal migrants looking for a ride. That wasn't the French cuisine that we were looking forward to on our last evening. We walked back to the bar to find that a 500ml Stella was 7 Euros. Far too expensive. The next morning I checked out early to find that it took 10 minutes to get any staff onto the checkout desk. The one staff member visible was occupied in the breakfast room. Then I find that my single room at €105 has overnight become a double room at €120. He had no idea why or how and the manager hadn't arrived before we had to go to check in for the ferry. So I paid the extra amount to escape the place. We saw lots of hotels in Ouistreham when we went to the ferry. Don't use this hotel. It's expensive, isolated, gives you little or no choice of food and drink and worryingly there are gangs of illegals in the woods nearby. less

This is a lovely boutique Hotel set in nice surrounding just a short walk from the beautiful town of Quistreham. The rooms are well set out with good decor. The staff are extremely helpful, especially Claudine who serviced and hired us two bikes to cycle into town while answering the phone and checking people in, she is a star for this business. There are also in the process of building an indoor pool which will add to this hotel. we will certainly return soon. less

This hotel was very clean quiet and pleasant. Staff helpful from initial booking to departure. The room was small but comfortable. Tea and coffee provided. Tv shower etc. Breakfast excellent. Hotel had some building work which was unobtrusive and indicated that it was being invested in. Restaurant looked good too The bar was closed when we arrived but that was irrelevant as we only wanted to go to bed. Definitely stay here again less
