Odalys Résidence Green Panorama - Varaville

We don't like to be right in the thick of things - and this was the perfect hotel for it. Located just off of the main strip in Trouville, things were easy to get to and far enough away that we weren't hearing people coming back from the casino at 4AM at night. The two women who run it (sisters?) were so incredibly generous with their time and gave us great recommendations on restaurants and even looked up train times for us upon our departure. If we ever go back to Trouville (from NYC) we will definitely stay here. A gem for sure. We didnt use the breakfast service (there is a boulangerie a block away) so I cant speak to that but the Wifi worked on my husbands cell phone just fine. *disclaimer - we live in NYC. so this hotel didn't feel very small to us as we live in a large studio. We didn't spend much time in it either so didn't have a problem with the size. in a town like this, you aren't going to want to be inside much anyway. Also, we obviously speak English and the women spoke some, too. Made it very easy to communicate.

We stayed in the second smallest room (the Roucoule), on above the inn's fantastic restaurant. It has slanted ceilings reinforced by old timbers, since it is an attic room, but had a big, comfortable bed, full bath that was newly refurbished, and a table chair/window overlooking the main courtyard, where you can play chess with oversized pieces. The restaurant's goats and cows can be heard from your room with your window open (not overwhelming, but nice), and the restaurant is the best we've been to in Normandy. The breakfast spread is substantial and is included in the "half-board" along with the medium level of the hotel dinner menu, which was quite extensive. Fantastic choice, and less than 10 minutes from the Normandy beaches. Plenty of free parking, and you can wander around the grounds to get a view of the surrounding countryside.

We loved the hotel. We made sure that they had a restaurant for our 12/23-12/25 stay because of the Christmas holiday, which is does. We were told that they close the hotel for the first 2 weeks in January - fine. Why did they close the restaurant on December 22? There was only one place in the town to eat on Christmas Eve - a hotel with only a very expensive 'prix fixe' meal available. This was a disappointment to us.

Hotel was great and perfect apart from its location and the very large advertising hoardings.
