Another visit 9 months on. The room is clean and comfortable with plenty of hot water. We were in room 301 which has a small bath. Not much of view from the window but we only use it as a place to sleep. Little wall heaters were very effective as it was a chilly night. There are so many little... More

This is our third stay at the Ambassadeur and we had another thoroughly enjoyable visit. Our room faced the road but the double glazing is good so noise was minimal and we had a peaceful night's sleep. The staff are friendly and helpful and the hotel is in an ideal location for exploring the town. We recommend this hotel for... More

On the Quay near all the restaurants and bars but still nice and quiet even when in a front room. Staff polite and professional - we reserved by email and had a confirmation of booking within 30 minutes ! Rooms are clean, good breakfast. I would return without any hesitation.

This was our second visit to the Hotel Ambassadeur as part of a Brittany Ferries trip and we will return again next year. The hotel is ideally situated alongside the city quay and is within walking distance from the ferry terminal, Carrefour supermarket, bars, restaurants and the old town centre. The hotel staff are welcoming and were happy to book... More

Right on the quay and close to the keyside retaurants - so great location. For what they charge you cannot expect anyting betterf. Comfortable bed, everything works, friendly people.. Really speaking a large French B&B - nothing posh, quite low key - but delivers exactly what it promises. Obviously only continental breakfast so can only award that part a 3... More

We booked this based on reviews. We found this place ok but not excellent. The showers were not clean. Loads of black marks. The breakfast, although good was minimal and rationed to one croissant only. Choice was very poor for the price and as such did not find the hotel value for money. Facilities were basic.

A year since our last stay. What can I write different. Room spotless. Flat screen tv which receives BBC1 if you want to catch up on the news. Lovely hot running water in the bathroom. Comfy bed, crisp sheets, extra pillows in the wardrobe. Lovely fresh flowers in reception, not struck on the artificial flowers in the bedroom. So many... More

We stayed here one night and selected a harbour view room. Can't fault the location and whilst all the described services were available the hotel has a tired feel and is probably due an upgrade. A persistent oudour in the bathroom did not help. We didn't dine but breakfast was good

Hotel Ambassadeur is perfectly located on the quayside in central Cherbourg, handy for ferries, shopping and restaurants, with a cheap public carpark only yards away. Our welcome was polite rather than warm. The hotel is a little shabby and would benefit from some refurbishing; our room was simple and comfortable. Continental breakfast was of the old bread/jam/coffee type with excellent... More

We went to Normandy for the historic significance of the area and used Cherbourg / Ambassadeur Hotel as home base for the rental car / day trips to the surrounding countryside. This was a perfect place to stay, with very friendly owners who went out of their way to help us with every request - even replacing broken reading glasses!... More
