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

We took the Ferry from Portsmouth and we arrived at the train station in Caen at 8 AM. The hotel was in walking distance to the train station. The front desk staff did not speak any English. So, we asked to check into our room early. They got a room ready in one hour. The room was very big and... More

We stayed here one night to visit the D-Day Beaches and Caen Memorial. Our room was moderately sized by US standards (large by French standards) and very clean and comfortable. The front desk was staffed 24 hrs/day and very friendly but didn't always speak English. Main area attractions were too far to walk to from this hotel (but we had... More

This is not your fancy dancy hotel, but very clean and friendly and helpful staff and good breakfast! We stayed one night here as we were taking the train from Caen to Paris. After spending time in Normandy and renting a car (Hertz is right down the street) this was the ideal hotel to stay in. It is less than... More

Thought it was a bit of a joke really and decided to make a week of it and follow on afterwards to Honfleur. We weren't expecting much but my goodness, what a nice place. It probably wouldn't appeal to certain people but to us it was a bit of old France. There is a massive buiding site across the road... More

I stayed in the hotel for two nights over the weekend in August and I was pleasantly surprised by this hotel. The reception is clean, the staff were friendly although there were not many staff members about. Loads of leaflets and info, and when I woke up on my first morning and asked for directions at reception, the staff were... More

Hotel is very central. Close to Pont de Churchill. Being on Rue de la Gare it is fairly easy to find by following Gare SNCF signs. Rooms perfectly adequate for a city hotel - Nespresso coffee machine in room. Breakfast - plenty of choice: croissants,bread, toaster, ham, cheese, yoghurt, cereals, fruit juice, tea, coffee. Bar in hotel although we did... More
