Although we are not American but French, we had a similarly bad experience at Hotel des Isles. We had booked (long in advance) for two nights, for what was supposed to be a romanting and enchanting stay. We had some difficulties locating the hotel, since nobody had given me any directions when I had called them and they had not... more

Their web site is brilliant. It is NOT the hotel however. The room had paint chips peeling off the wall. The front desk was pleasant and helpful. We traveled extensively throughout France for almost three weeks and spent two nights at this hotel. The food in the restaurant was of excellent quality, but the service was awful. All of the... more

We originally wanted to stay in its sister hotel a mile or so away but it was full and were luckily directed to the des Isles. The first two rooms overlooked the sea but were quite small. Then I was shown a double room at the same price. It was really comfortable and airy, though the hotel is a bit... more

What a delightful find! Just over 30mins from Cherbourg facing out to sea. The room was a treasure, although unlike ther reviewers we did find the bathroom small but adequate. The restaurant is great, we went for one of the menus which included a buffet starter, a main course and a buffet desert. The food was fab but the buffets... more

We love this hotel. Lovely, laid back atmosphere. Great for kids too. Food is the best around this area. Fantastic seafood. We always make sure we have a meal here at least once in the fortnight.

The staff were welcoming and friendly. Our family room (children of 3 and 5 years) was huge and very nicely decorated. It looks like the hotel... more

After checking all reviews, we decided to stay at the Hotel des iles for 1 night. We were very pleased with the service, the room, and the restaurant. The location is great: it's near the beach, just across the road. Very quiet neighborhood. The room: clean, nice, light blue paint on the wall and white furnitures, very new. We even... more

A really great little hotel. The room was bright, airy, clean...and had a great seaview. The bathroom was was nice and big too. We ate at the hotel in the evening...the food was absolutely delicious...we recommend the "Buffet de la Terre et la Mer". Breakfast was good too...loads of fresh and varied things to choose from. Great value for money.... more
