Absolutely loved the staff despite our room had no wifi signal. Avoid room 116 at the very back of the hotel if you'd like to use wifi in your room. Hotel is near several restaurant choices, all walking distance. Walking distance from William The Conquerors Castle as well. It has secure parking with big gates, however the space is very... More

I chose this hotel as I thought it was close to the Ferry port. I'ts about 20 mins away by car but with the one way system in Caen its best to get clear directions, particularly if you are getting an early ferry. There was on site, secure parking and free wifi .Very close to the town centre. The room... More

I liked the hotel because of the location, which was very close to the train station. The staff was friendly. The furnitures were very new and the room was very clean. The room was a little small but I only stayed one night. The breakfast was excellent. Many types of bread and cheese. What I didn't like was that it... More

The location near the train station is very convenient for travelers. Other than that, it's a basic chain hotel, with no character whatsoever. Street noise can be a problem, especially since the room would get very stuffy quickly and the windows needed to be opened to air it out.

The hotel is less than a 5 mins walk from the SNCF station. All the staff spoke english, were friendly and were helpful. My room had everything I would expect from a 2 star hotel. It overlooked a side street so was very quite. There are a good selection of restaurants along the river bank some 5 min walk away.... More

Stayed in Caen as a base for visiting D-day sites. This hotel is a 2 minute walk from the station and bus stop so convenient if you plan to tour without a car. (If you do rent a car, the rental companies are also very close by.) Clean spacious room (we had a triple room) with hot water and all... More

I chose this hotel because it was close to the train station and the price as we were here only 24 hours. It has great value: clean rooms, comfortable beds, great continental breakfast, close to The Memorial. The staff were very friendly. It is not luxury but for one or two nights, it is great. My only negative is that... More

Clean and confortable place, at 15-minute walk from the castle. The bathroom is a bit small, but appart from that, the place does it's job. There is also a parking accommodating a few cars, without an extra charge, which was nice. From there, it's a 10-15 drive to the Memorial de Caen. In all, good value for money for a... More

Stayed 2 nights in this hotel in April 2012. To me, the best thing about it is it's proximity to the train station and at the same time you don't get the noise from it. Ideal hotel if you have several pieces of luggage to lug to and from the station. And good too if you don't want to have... More
