Hotel Gil De France

le calme et l'ambiance

The hotel was basic and what you would expect for a 2 star, so reasonably priced for the area and time of year, it was good as a late night arrival and an early morning leave, the staff were helpful and friendly, the room was suitable for a family of 4.

Did feel a bit seedy or that it attracted the wrong type of people as they gave you the TV remote when you checked in and you had to return it when you left, no facility for early morning check out or breakfast as everything was closed with shutters until 8am. The room was quite dated and you could smell the drains, which was still evident in winter so imagine it would be quite bad in summer.

I liked the staff, they were personable and hospitable. The pool was neat and it had a retractable cover so it was indoor/outdoor. I didn't use the hammam or spa services but would have if it would've if it had been easier to get an appointment.

I did not like that this hotel was in proximitity to the beach and had absolutely no services or amenities that relate to beach-going. They wouldn't let us take the towels from the hotel to the beach, but they also had no towel rental service either. We had to buy some really expensive towels at the beachside place then had to pack them home. I explained this to one staff attendant (who spoke little to no english) and he looked at me as if to say "not my problem." The hotel was a little seedy looking and the room was really small and cramped. And there was absolutely no place to hang wet towels or swimsuits. The shower had no curtain, so after showering the floor was flooded, and the towels were so thin you had to use more than one.

easy to find, and easy to park the car

room was not enough confortable
