Review summary

Based on recent reviews

L'Absinthe Hotel enjoys a superb location right on the harbour, making it easy to explore Honfleur, especially during the market. Many guests appreciate the spacious rooms, some of which boast harbour views, jacuzzi tubs, and walk-in showers. While some have noted limited breakfast options or the absence of a mini-fridge, the convenience of the hotel's private parking, a short walk away, is a definite plus for many.

A Decent Stay

clean rooms helpful concierge difficult location inconvenient parking

The location near the main harbor proved amazing. I could easily walk out to shops or restaurants. The concierge, Victor, was helpful and the rooms were very clean..

The hotel was difficult to find and the rooms were not connected to the reception area. Parking was not convenient. The room was very average with no surfaces to place items so they had to be on the floor. The bath was good though.
