Good location from the ferry and easy check in even if you are quite late. Bar and snacks available. Ample breakfast and efficient check out. We stay there on a regular basis.
Thalazur Ouistreham is located opposite the sea, 100 metres from the city centre. It offers 4-star accommodation, a thalassotherapie centre, a bar and a restaurant.
Located in the heart of Ouistreham, a 5-minute drive from the ferry port, Hotel Le Cosy Riva Bella is an ideal place to relax after a day spent discovering the Côte Fleurie and the D-Day landing...

We visited as a starting point for pursuing our interest in the Second World War Normandy D Day events. Ouistreham is ideal for this. We were able to get by bus to the new British D Day memorial (although it would have been better if a more frequent service), could reach Caen easily, and other key areas by public transport, although we didn't do this on this short trip.

Easy to visit the historical areas from this base and close to the ferry port. We hadn't planned it as a 'seaside/beach' type of holiday, but looking at the local towns and the area in general, it's worth returning. Much nicer, cleaner and quieter than UK seaside towns. Less touristy than Spanish/Greek beach holidays. A lovely, surprise find.

On this occasion we only stayed overnight but we have had two previous week-long stays with grandchildren in rented accommodation. The beach is stunning and what fun to watch the ferries coming and going! This is a place very much overlooked by British families looking for a nice French holiday. As elsewhere the weather can be variable but when sunny, it’s glorious. And there is so much to do in the area with all the Normandy Landing history on the doorstep.

It is a lovely place to discover, beautiful walkways along the the marina, the historic center is pretty. The big problem is the presence of the africans,, all young men with Iphones and trendy clothing, certainly not refugees, lurking around everywhere, day and night, breaking into UK cars, if they are big enough to try to get to England. They are squatting around every corner, littering , urinating etc. Really it is a shame.

We were getting there to eat at "La moulerie" in front of the Casino (for sea food) and get to the "Criée" early in the morning to buy fish and sea food. We managed to get everything done properly.

I really wasn't there long enough to say anything about Ouistreham itself - I stopped briefly in Caen on the way and I certainly enjoyed the old half-timbered houses in the centre. The Castle will be a must see on my next visit, as will the beautiful old Norman/Romanesque churches and the nearby coastline, such as nearby-Dives-sur-Mer, where I stayed on a previous trip to Normandy and I can certainly recommend with its ancient church. Falaise Castle, said to be the castle of William the Conqueror, is the far side of Caen.

See reviews by guests who stayed at hotels in Ouistreham
The staff is amazing, helpful, kind and happy to assist, the hotel is perfect for a short trip by ferry from Portsmouth as it is within walking distance from the port, commute to Caen is easy and the bus stop is just opposite, nice breakfast, the bedroom was confy and clean, obviously is not a 5 star hotel but if you are not fussy/posh you will be happy.
Needed somewhere close to the ferry terminal to stop off overnight before heading south. I was able to check in just before 11pm. Breakfast was offered at 9 Euros but I left before it was served. The Hotel is very handy for the ferry port and the location was quiet. The room was dated but everything (including the free WIFI) worked OK
Room, AC, and comfort was just enough.
The fact that we could not get a meal as a resident, as the Best Western did not own the restaurant, was not advised to us, so could not eat there and had to make other arrangements, nearest restaurant was nearly 1 k away.
This will prevent me using this hotel again
It is perfect for an overnight stay. It is close to the ferry port, and it is such an easy route from the hotel to the port.
The receptionist was helpful and welcoming.
The bedroom and shower room were good.
We would book it again.
Didn't have breakfast had early ferry to catch could start earlier but set up looked really good. Location perfect for bars, restaurants, boulanger, beach and ferry port. Staff very welcoming and lovely quintessential period hotel.
