Hotel is very well located, close to the nearby Cathedral and the Chateau. In a very quiet area, mainly shopping businesses located nearby. The owners were great - very helpful, let us drop our bags off early, checked with us if we needed anything when we saw them which wasn't often as we were site seeing from 8 am to... More

This was our third stay in this hotel. A couple of years since the last one I beleive. This time we managed to park right outside and just pay for an hour and then it was free until the morning. Very pleasant young chap checked us in. We were in room 11 and could see our car from the window.... More

The word "basic" is a good one when describing this hotel.... It is basic, but the location and hosts make it even better. The hosts were extremely nice and accommodating, and the location was perfect! Caen is an amazing place to visit, and we will definitely go back! We felt comfortable staying here, and our room was spacious, clean, and... More

The plus is the location. Staff was friendly and helpful. The breakfast is convinient (don't go to the bar next door or you will end up paying 3,50euro for a cappuccino!!). No lift and small room without air conditioning (even if Caen is not the hottest city it would be good to have one!). That's about it

The hotel is located in the city center. The staff was helpful and friendly providing me info about the trains to go to Mont St. Michel and Caen. The room and the bathroom were pretty small but clean (clean towels and bed sheets). It's a very basic hotel, maybe it needs much maintenance.

There were a few parking spaces outside the hotel which are free between 10pm and 9.30am which was ok for us but would be annoying if you needed to park during the day. The host was very friendly and could speak a bit of English. The hotel decor was very dated but it had a tradiotional old French feel to... More

I had the opportunity to spend more than 2 weeks in this hotel for business. Price is more than far compare to the others 2stars options in the surrounding such as Best Western, IBIS. Do not waste your money, go there and check, you won't be disappointed. I think about British visiting Normandie as well as backpackers who are looking... More

This was the only 2 star hotel where we stayed during our vacation in Europe this past summer and after staying here I promised my wife it was the last!! It wasn't awful it just wasn't good but there was no parking as advertised, the bed was dorm room quality, and the bathroom was tiny. Stay somewhere else
