Hotel La Perouse

Amazing location, with a beautiful view of the bay and so many tourist attraction right in the door step. I’ve never paid £700 a night for a room before, and I’ve stayed in luxury private villas in madilves, Mauritius and Greece. This was not worth that room rate. Whilst it was a comfortable room, there was no 5 star service, we had a terrace which was quite industrial with air con units and extractor fans blowing food smells on you, and roof tops in the way of the view so you would’ve been better off being higher up with a balcony. The breakfast was basic but cost £60, wouldn’t recommend. It’s a shame because the location was great and whilst it didn’t ruin an amazing holiday, it’s not right that they’re charging so much.

The staff are exceptionally friendly, helpful and efficient. The restaurant serves superb food and the breakfasts are also first class. The only negative would be if your mobility was moderately impaired. We didn't see any access to the restaurant which would accommodate a wheelchair. The room was immaculate, and the service and cleaning impeccable. Thank you for the very happy four nights we spent there.

Superior double room has nothing superior about it. Room decor dated, dirty and in need of refurbishment. Double room had a connecting door impacting privacy, could hear people next door. No private balcony, its a long terrace shared with others. Bathroom is old and lots of scraps and marks on door, shower head is old and can't be adjusted, you need to hold it to get any benefit from it. The bed had a split in the middle like 2 single beds pushed together which was uncomfortable. The noise levels were high given the room is close to the restaurant so breakfast set up starts at 6.30am and then dinner noise continues until 11pm making the room unsuitable if you plan to sleep. The room requires you to use 2 steps of steps so not suitable for people with accessibility issues. I did ask hotel to change the room but it wasn't possible. Paying approx 650 euros a night was definitely not worth it. Staff were nice which is why the score isnt zero.

The location was amazing and the service before and during the stay was impressive. Some small things were distractors - room had a musky smell, there was a faint smoke smell at varying times, and the configuration with elevators.

It was our second stay at this classic hotel; and it again was very pleasant. We had two spacious rooms with balconies; and the staff were very pleasant and helpful: from the Bellman and the Reception team to the Housekeeping, and the Food & Beverage team.
