Comfort Hotel D Angleterre Le Havre  

In the centre of the Quartier Perret, a UNESCO World Heritage quarter. A short drive to Honfleur and Deauville, with the Pont de Normandie close by and the Etretat cliffs about 30 minutes away. A handy base for Normandy coast escapes.

Entirely refurbished in 2010, the hotel offers a fresh, practical vibe with simple, contemporary rooms. It’s billed as the perfect starting point for sightseeing around the coast. Reception hours: Mon–Fri 07:00–22:00 and Sat–Sun 08:00–22:00; if you arrive outside these times call the hotel the day of arrival to get the entrance code.

Buffet breakfast is available for around €12 (subject to change). Fuel up with a simple morning spread before heading out to the beaches and cliffs.
