Hôtel Le Vivier - Wissant Vue Mer — Hotel in Boulogne-sur-Mer

What an odd hotel...

This company has two hotels. One in the centre of Wissant and one on the edge. This hotel is the one on the edge.

There is no reception you instead get a WhatsApp with the lift code (which is inside a dark garage) to get you up to your floor and the room is open with the key on the bed. The staff were very responsive via WhatsApp when we had questions so that was a plus.

However the booking site did have photos of the hotel in the village on it as well as this one so it was confusing when we drove up.

Parking is limited but there is public parking just down the road on the opposite side.

The whole place really didn't look like its pictures and looked very tired. Worn and stained carpets. Room numbers on bits of tape. Damage to bits in the room. Tired furniture. Some mold around bits of the bathrooms.

However on the whole the rooms were clean despite its tired look. And the beds were comfy. There are no facilities at the hotel for tea/coffee/drinks etc. Other than a breakfast they do each morning which we didn't try.

The centre is in theory walkable but probably easier to drive as we found.

The view from the room is great but doesn't make up for the misrepresentation of the hotel and price.

I don't think we'd...

We stayed in the hotel on the outskirts of this beautiful un touched village and the army had closed the village so they could detonate a ww2 bomb on the beach. Originally booked the one in the village. The owners were so welcoming and sorted out a room with no hassle in their other hotel. Room was clean and comfortable. Price was Great for family of 4. Recommend booking direct with them. Breakfast was traditional and lovely. Can't recommend this place enough if you have a young family and need to be together. Village is so beautiful and everyone there loves children. Definitely returning here.||||Catherina...

Location is good but the actual hotel is average and overpriced. The restaurant wasn't open the evening we were there and neither the terraced area. Breakfast was uninspiring and expensive for what it was we were charged €10 each for average coffee, plastic cheese and boiled eggs. The café next door cost €7 for better coffee and croissants . Staff were lovely and were very pleasant. I didn't like the fact that dogs were in a room next to us and were quite noisy so sleep wasn't great. I would not want to stay here again mainly due to it being...
