L'Abri Cotier sur Le Havre

06/12/2025: Staff, with professionalism, proactive approach and top-notch organization

30/11/2025: Really fantastic. Rooms are simple but spotlessly clean and the bed is seriously comfortable. Tick. We paid for breakfast after waking up at 6am with jet lag and it was amazing! Simple, but fresh and lots of local produce - one of the best buffets in years…sorry for eating the whole of that small dark rye and grain loaf! If you’re arriving by train, this is very convenient (100m walk) and the funky docks area is a 5 min walk. Two supermarkets within 300m and the tram to the beach is similar. If you come to Le Havre for the first time, and the weather is ok, throw on your walking shoes and just explore through the old streets for a few hours… keep heading up the hill and you’ll be rewarded with views of a friendly, honest and very historic city. The staff at the Novotel are amazing too - a real credit to the hotel. We will be back! Photo is of a late Sunday night croque monseur (ham and cheese toastie). So good!
