Hôtel Le Richelieu

Le Havre


Inside one of the architecturally intriguing buildings along the rue de Paris, Le Richelieu offers very clean, bright and often vividly decorated rooms (lilac and marigold lovers rejoice) – it's great value for both comfort and location. Bathrooms are tiny, though, and there's no lift, but some rooms come with balcony. Breakfast is €8.60.
