The Augeval Hotel is a mid-range property with 32 rooms spread over two buildings. Exteriors are charming and traditional and the garden and pool area are small but pleasant, but some interiors could use a little love. The hotel is located within walking distance of most of Deauville's attractions and is a 10-minute walk to the beach. A modest spa, jetted tubs in some bathrooms, and 24-hour room service are unexpected extras for this level of hotel, and it's a good-value alternative to the many more expensive options closer to the beach.

Scene
Characterful and charming hotel spread over twin historical buildings
The Augeval Hotel is spread across two characterful, historical buildings that look like they could have been pulled from the pages of a fairytale. Both have almond green semi-timbered facades and coned red-tile towers typical of the 19th century. Inside, the lobby has a vaulted ceiling, medieval-style brickwork, and exposed beams that are oddly mismatched with modern furnishings and an abundance of tourism pamphlets. There's a small garden at the rear of the hotel with a tidy lawn, neatly trimmed shrubbery, and plenty of tables and seating. The atmosphere at this boutique hotel is laid back, friendly, and just a little rough around the edges, but with enough charm to appeal to travelers seeking a cheaper alternative to the pricier options on the Deauville seafront.
Location
Set in a quiet residential neighborhood, a 10-minute walk from the beach
The hotel is located in a central but quiet residential neighborhood of Deauville, a 10-minute walk from the town's sweeping, sandy beach and seafront promenade. The Deauville-La Touques Racecourse is just a block away behind the hotel, while most of the bars and restaurant can be found in the town center, around 15 minutes away on foot. The Trouville-Deauville train station also takes about 15 minutes on foot or a five-minutes by cab, and the Deauville-Saint-Gatien Airport, which has direct flights to London City Airport, is a 15-minute drive away. Paris takes just over two hours to reach by car.
Rooms
Some rooms have marble-topped bathrooms with jetted tubs
The hotel has 32 rooms spread over two villas: Villa Augeval and Villa Trait d'Union. Rooms in both buildings are styled with a mix of homey modern decor and antique accents and furnishings. Each room comes with free Wi-Fi, a minibar, and a flat-screen TV with satellite channels, and many open to small furnished balconies. Bathrooms are generally well finished -- some in marble with jetted tubs -- and all include wall-mounted hairdryers and Lauren Hutton brand toiletries. Some rooms overlook the stables of the nearby racecourse, and a lack of air-conditioning means windows might need to be kept open in the summer.
Features
Heated outdoor pool with lounge chairs and spa with steam room
A buffet breakfast is served in a medieval-style room with arched brick ceilings and crisscross windowpanes; alternatively, a continental breakfast can be ordered to rooms. Around-the-clock room service is also offered, unusual for this category of hotel. There is a tiny garden with tables, chairs, and a ping-pong table as well as a small heated pool flanked by lounge chairs at the back of the main building. The hotel's small spa has a treatment room, a steam bath, and a sauna, while a games room has darts and a pool table. Wi-Fi and parking are both free of charge.
