Ideally situated in a quiet location, within walking distance of everything. Room comfortable (toilet very small- but not a major problem, bathroom and room both spacious). Staff friendly and helpful (despite our lack of French). Train for a day trip to Bayeux was very easy and well worth it! Plenty to see in Caen too. Normandy beaches tour organised through... More

Yuck! I found this place thinking I had found a great deal in a quiet location. It resembled a motel 6 and worse I had a bad nights sleep-which is difficult for someone who normally sleeps like a rock! The rooms was very hot so I had to open the window then I could hear all the loud talking going... More

Like another reviewer has said, I'm not sure why this hotel has such great reviews. It was clean and comfortable enough, and definately cheap enough at 50 euros per night, but other than that, there isn't much going for it. Like the review below, we found the room to be very small, with very little room to move around, especially... More

Other reviews have summed it well. Although the hotel has had a renovation there was still a smell of sweat in the small room. Bathroom area very small, soap and other bits like shampoo sachets etc were not replaced every day. It was a very warm room and opening the window let in the fresh air but also the noise... More

Hotel Bristol is an excellent hotel that is well removed from the fray of the center of town and very conveniently located near the train station of Caen. The staff was incredibly friendly and helpful with maps, tour ideas, places to eat, directions, etc...We went to Mont St. Michel one day during our stay and my father became ill (I... More

My wife and I just spent one night at this hotel. We have to think this series of complimentary reviews is mostly that of friends and family of the owners. One poster suggests the room was "roomier than others in France"..huh? This was the smallest room of any hotel we have stayed at in any country anywhere! We have stayed... More

We stayed at this hotel for 1 night. It was excellent. The staff was super friendly and very helpful. Very close to the train station. The room was very comfortable and very clean. Breakfast was good. The hotel was very charming and nice decorated, and the staff made you feel at home. I would highly recommend staying here. More

I'm going to go ahead and give 4-stars and assume that the hot water situation was an aberration, but it wasn't a great way to start the day. Future posters can update us on how chilly the water is or is not.. I tried getting hot water out of the sink, too, just in case I didn't know how to... More
