Le Grand Hotel de Cabourg MGallery Collection

Beautiful old hotel, with big rooms and lots of charm. Everything was clean. People were friendly and great service. One employee even rushed us to the station so we would not miss our train. Breakfast is good. The beach setting cannot be beat. Very pretty and lots to do for kids. Tons of restaurants and shops nearby. We chose this place because we wanted to be near the water, and it did not disappoint.

A piece of history in Cabourg. A beautiful grand hotel right on the beach, with friendly staff, a great breakfast, and plenty of Belle Époque charm. I’ll be back! There was, however, one surprise: using the hotel’s private beach costs an additional €90. Perhaps this reflects a difference between French and German hospitality. When I pay €350 for a night, I expect to be able to spend an hour on the hotel’s beach. Unfortunately, that wasn’t possible in my case. Therefore: 2 stars for service!

The hotel in my eyes has seen better days – it’s a classic grand hotel that feels quite dated. For the price, I personally expect more. Unless you book a room with a sea view, there’s unfortunately little to justify the high cost: for example, there’s no pool. What really surprised (and disappointed) me most was the fact that a sunbed on the beach directly in front of the hotel costs an extra €90 per day. This is something I simply don’t expect from a 5-star grand hotel. On a positive note, I’d like to highlight the excellent housekeeping team – friendly, attentive, and professional. Their service really stood out.
