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

Pros - near train station, very affordable, great sound proof windows, free wifi, elevator, nice breakfast room (I didn't have breakfast.), nice staff, modern bath fixtures (to make up for the old bedspread.) Cons - my room (405) got terribly HOT! I could keep windows open during day but not when I went to bed because of the street noise.... More

This hotel belongs to the Inter-Hotel chain in France, which means nice, reasonably priced 2 and 3 star hotels. Good as a touring base. The hotel is located near the rail station and is a 10 minute walk to town center. The hotel is clean, quiet and the room we had was spacious. Breakfast was a decent continental affair. The... More
