Getting there
Great for walkers
Places to stay are graded on a 0-100 scale. The higher the grade, the easier it is for travelers to find restaurants and things to do within walking distance.
Nice little and simple hotel, located directly at the sea, with small but clean and functional rooms. Ideally you book a room on the third floor with a view to the sea. Its an old house with narrow, steep stairs, you have to be a bit athletic. The house has a great atmosphere, but is not a hotel with 24-hour reception or room service, more like a bed & breakfast. The owners only speak French, but they are very friendly and you can make yourself understood. Check in is unfortunately only possible from 4pm and there is no parking at the hotel. You stay here for the fantastic location and atmosphere. The view from the hotel is breathtaking. The hotel also has a small guest appearance in the Netflix series Lupin.

Dear Sterfk, You got it all right ! L'Hôtel Le Rayon Vert enjoys the best location in Etretat : as close to the sea as can be and with a unique 360° from most rooms. The atmosphere is definitely friendly and casual, and we are working on improving our staff's English ! We're glad you had such a great time and thank you for your review !

We opted for a city side room on the 3rd floor in February. The receptionist accompanied us and even offered to help us carry the suitcases. Please note there is no elevator so for people with difficulties take a room on a lower floor. Possibility of sea view with balcony surely very good in spring and summer. The room was clean apart from a few stains on the curtain, but it was acceptable. We didn't have breakfast but it looked very good. On the other hand, no parking at the hotel, for your information, parking is 15 euros for every 5 euros nearby, otherwise you have to move away a little and the price drops to 7.5 euros. This should be taken into account for a stay longer than one night like us. A priori free parking about twenty minutes walk away. Finally, a lot of things are closing and which opened on February 17, I recommend going there from March. We will come back if we pass through here again.

We booked this hotel to enjoy our first time in Étretat and to have a view of the cliffs at daybreak. We therefore reserved two rooms with the request that they have a sea view. Our wish was respected and we were even upgraded to one of the two rooms because there was availability.
The managers are all friendly and attentive, the hotel is very beautiful and contributes to the atmosphere of the place, and what can we say about the view from our balcony... sublime...
The breakfast is plentiful, although we would have appreciated a bit more pastries and perhaps a little hot savory (like bacon) but that is just a detail because everything that is offered is excellent!
We will come back !!

Comfort bedding Restaurant adjoining the hotel where we ate for 2 days in a row given the quality

I had the pleasure of visiting this hotel last week for a one night stay. The location is perfect, just on the beach and was very easy to find. The building is old and has a lot of charm while still ensuring rooms are up to standard.
The staff are very nice and knowledgeable of the region and can give lots of tips on where to go in this fantastic region.
In the hotel is also a restaurant that service very nice food to reasonable price.
The service was very good and the staff really tried to make the stay a pleasurable and memorable one. I needed to be up relatively early and the staff did their utmost to ensure I got a proper breakfast even if it was earlier than normal breakfast time. I highly appreciated that.
Next time I'll visit Etretat, I'll definitely come back to this hotel

Extra ordinary view of the Etretat arches; it is absolutely necessary to take a sea view room; the beds have a good bed base and the reception is very helpful and accommodating. Ask for parking before arriving, to organize. An address to keep precious.

The stay starts badly, we take procession from the room and go for a walk. Back in the room, water flows on the walls and high humidity. We contacted the reception and the night watchman came to help us mop the wall to spend a “decent” night as the hotel was full, he had no possibility of relocating us and no other solution. In the morning the receptionist found us a solution and moved us to the cottage next to the hotel. We therefore spent a very good night in the cottage and recommend because even with the first complicated night, the next morning we were found solutions to continue our stay comfortably with an “upgrade” and a free breakfast.

Stayed for one night. Good location, pleasant welcome. Hotel not busy but wouldn't allow us to access room until 4pm (we arrived at 2pm) which seemed a little petty. Room ok but decor tired. Just small annoyances, no milk for morning tea, not enough hot water to fill bath (bathed in 3 inches!). Room not very cosy but nice view of sea. No parking for hotel so need to use public car park down the road, not a major issue but can only pay for 5 hrs max ((free overnight til 9) so have to return to feed meter. Hotel restaurant food was lovely.

Dear Pam, We do our very best to please our guests and we wish we could have given you access to your room earlier if it had been ready. We're sorry about the exceptional lack of hot water, but milk was surely available if you had asked and there's nothing we can do about the parking issue as we kindly explain over and over again to our guests. We're certainly glad you fully enjoyed your diner at our restaurant. Thank you,

A weekend that was supposed to be a very good time turned into a nightmare and sleepless night as the restaurant associated with the Pension was privatized into a nightclub. I can't sleep. No intervention on our part was successful until midnight 08. If we had only been warned we would not have chosen a beautiful sea view room for nearly 300 euros. We were led by boat all evening announcing that the huge noise would stop within 30 minutes. Absolutely scandalous and not at the level

We had the pleasure of discovering this establishment through a gift. Magnificent room with sea view. The staff is full of little touches that make you feel exceptional, kindness, friendliness and smiles are apparently part of the DNA of this establishment. We had the joy of having breakfast on the balcony of our room, a real treat.
