Very close to the ferry terminal and an excellent base for visiting Pegasus Bridge and the British & Canadian D-Day beaches.
Friendly and helpful staff
Adjacent to a small commercial centre ideal for stocking up with great French produce
Thalazur Ouistreham is located opposite the sea, 100 metres from the city centre. It offers 4-star accommodation, a thalassotherapie centre, a bar and a restaurant.
Located in the heart of Ouistreham, a 5-minute drive from the ferry port, Hotel Le Cosy Riva Bella is an ideal place to relax after a day spent discovering the Côte Fleurie and the D-Day landing...
Situated in central Ouistreham, this ibis Styles property is just 500 metres from the beach and the fishing harbour. It offers en suite rooms with elevator access and free internet access.

The hotel was conveniently close to the ferry but still walking distance from the sea front.
Ideally located only 14 km north of Caen, La Villa Andry makes an excellent base for discovering the protected area of the Pointe du Siège and the Côte de Nacre.

It is a nice historic property with a great sea front view
Mobil home 7 couchages, a property with a terrace and a bar, is situated in Ouistreham, 3 km from Riva-Bella Beach, 15 km from Botanical Garden of Caen, as well as 15 km from Caen Station.

It is a lovely place to discover, beautiful walkways along the the marina, the historic center is pretty. The big problem is the presence of the africans,, all young men with Iphones and trendy clothing, certainly not refugees, lurking around everywhere, day and night, breaking into UK cars, if they are big enough to try to get to England. They are squatting around every corner, littering , urinating etc. Really it is a shame.

We were getting there to eat at "La moulerie" in front of the Casino (for sea food) and get to the "Criée" early in the morning to buy fish and sea food. We managed to get everything done properly.

I really wasn't there long enough to say anything about Ouistreham itself - I stopped briefly in Caen on the way and I certainly enjoyed the old half-timbered houses in the centre. The Castle will be a must see on my next visit, as will the beautiful old Norman/Romanesque churches and the nearby coastline, such as nearby-Dives-sur-Mer, where I stayed on a previous trip to Normandy and I can certainly recommend with its ancient church. Falaise Castle, said to be the castle of William the Conqueror, is the far side of Caen.

We have been here 20+ times as it is our twin town.
We have been here 20+ times as it is our twin town. The beach is lovely, the town is pleasant and we always have a good time. We stayed here in the hotel for one night after a trip further south and chose the Hotel du Phare because of its position. It is a typical, old style French hotel. The drains smell was off putting: the breakfast was good and the staff excellent.

Be prepared to walk a lot, so comfy shoes a must, I did find out on my last day that you can hire push bikes at the beach per hour, which is great because Ouistreham and it’s surrounding are quite big, the beaches are spotless and very impressive as is the history surrounding the area, I would say the area is very geared up for French tourism, so a basic grasp of French is a good idea, as most menus, and staff only speak French, having said that, there are plenty of English speaking people around in case your struggling !!

The resort was a surprise, because we expected just the port, but when we went for a wander around after driving up from Guidel Plages we found the enormous long sandy beach and all the amenities. It’s obviously hugely popular on warm days and stretches for miles. Many of the 2nd WW beaches are within easy reach. This might not be the prettiest place, but it has a lot more going for it than we had expected.
Clean and spacious rooms. Looks like recently been refreshed/updated. We had a family room with enough space for a few nights. Free parking available outside the hotel. Central location for restaurants and Normandy beaches. The ferry port it literally across the road. Very soundproof rooms as no noise from ferry port or outside. Breakfast was good, bread, croissants etc. enough available. We would definitely stay here again.
The apartment is really amazing, very clean and we loved all the retro furnishings.
The maniquin was a little bit creepy at first but we soon got used to him, I named him Joe 😁
The location was great for us, 2 minutes from the ferry port. I parked just round the corner from the apartment, loads of parking!
Shops right on the doorstep 😀
Really loved this apartment!
It was very quiet and clean, we relaxed a lot in the pools and me and mg mother enjoyed the different treatments. I really loved the relaxing massage although it’s only 25 minutes. The hotel is located in front of a big beach which allows for long and nice walks. Breakfast was really good with lots of choice.
Room, AC, and comfort was just enough.
The fact that we could not get a meal as a resident, as the Best Western did not own the restaurant, was not advised to us, so could not eat there and had to make other arrangements, nearest restaurant was nearly 1 k away.
This will prevent me using this hotel again
Rooms were clean and modern. beds were very comfortable. it’s very close to the ferry port and the centre of Ouistreham, although you would need to drive at night. Although the hotel was full it was quiet. We didn’t have breakfast but it looked very good value.
Nothing. It was so horrendous that we stayed for about half an hour before deciding the situation was unsalvagable, and we left and got a room at a nearby hotel. This us a terrible accomodation for someone who's got to catch an early ferry.
Friendly and helpful staff. Good value breakfast. Nice, clean and modern room with hot drinks supplied. Good location for exploring Ouistreham or the wider region. Close to the ferry terminal and town centre with good restaurants nearby.
Didn't have breakfast had early ferry to catch could start earlier but set up looked really good. Location perfect for bars, restaurants, boulanger, beach and ferry port. Staff very welcoming and lovely quintessential period hotel.
We were made to feel very welcome and we had an excellent meal. Everything was spotlessly clean. Our room was very quiet and there was no disturbance at all from other hotel guests, unlike some other places we have stayed.
Convenient location ; hotel management demonstrating great sense of humour (british?) by calling the rooms "cabins" due to their size. Bathroom OK. Appreciated always-on power socket that can be used for electric cooler.
We arrived in Caen very late from the ferries and a member of staff contacted me to give me the code to get in to the hotel and left the keys with my name and instructions. I really appreciate it that.
Greeted and made to feel welcome instantly. Loved the hotel bar. Great service, coffee and wine!
Really comfortable bed and clean room. Thanks Hôtel Le Cosy Riva Bella.
We were on the 21-30 ferry and the hotel was very close to the ferry port, Friendly receptionist who was there when we arrived. The rooms were ready for us.
