Auberge Express sur Etretat

30/06/2026: A beautiful hotel in an ideal location. Super friendly, accommodating staff. The Sunday brunch was to die for. Highly recommended!

30/05/2026: DISAPPOINTED. We arrived during a heat wave and were told there was no air conditioning due to concern for the environment, and we were advised to open the windows. The room was intolerably warm during the day and still uncomfortable at night. There were no screens on the windows so all the insects flew in. Additionally, there were bedside reading lights and small lamps, but you couldn't turn them on independently. There was one master switch that turned on all of the lights, and you couldn't use the reading lamps without the bank of overhead lights being on at the same time. So, one person sleeping while the other reads a book with the aid of a discreet bedside lamp was not an option. The breakfast was €22 per person and there were no lunch or brunch options after 10:00. They only have the same limited menu that is offered at dinner. When you ordered on the terrace bar, they immediately charged your card before serving you and we weren't allowed to start a 'tab' for our group. While we were there, they were hedging every part of the property with a loud, gas hedge trimmer for two days, which began before 8:00. Of course, we had the windows open so this was very disruptive and sleeping in was not an option.
