Hotel Angleterre

Cant say enough to thank the managers Eunice and Emmanuelle for their welcome - and for the help given when my daughter lost her handbag (successfully found thankfully). Recommend the Angleterre for a few days stay in Cherbourg, a port city which so many travellers pass through rather than go to. Give it a try !

My partner and I stayed at this hotel for 5 days at the beginning of August. It was a booking at midnight as we'd been badly let down by a guest house elsewhere - after a 10hr trip from Kent to Cherbourg. Emmanuel looked after us late that night, and together with Eunice made sure we were okay throughout our stay. The hotel is a 2 star and being redecorated currently, some painting needed. We didn't sample the breakfasts, but the local shops and restaurants are very close by. It can be lively/noisy at night but we found it tolerable. Local people live in the surrounding streets, and you can park for free nearby or a short walk away. We requested a kettle to make our own tea in the morning, and Eunice and co were kind enough to supply a box of tea and some milk at no charge. Our room was small ish but entirely adequate. The double bed was firm, but due to my bad back I was able to use a sofa bed which suited me much better - provided by Emmanuel. The cleaning staff were very friendly too - I can't speak highly enough of the staff. The hotel was good for what we needed and I would recommend it to anyone who is not fussy and not looking for a plush room/experience (go for more stars if you are). We had poor weather, but the local restaurants, Cite de la Mer, museums and harbour made for a great experience for us, and we are so grateful to Emmanuel and Eunice for their great service.
