Super establishment!…read more We ended up staying here on a whim and are so pleased we did! Very clean and comfortable room. Accommodating staff (the lady at the desk came up to our room at almost midnight to open our window). THE BEST breakfast buffet we had whilst in France BY FAR. Excellent location allowed us to walk around central Caen without having to rent a car.

The hotel provides an exceptional and extensive breakfast - Fresh pastries, breads, cheeses, sausage/eggs, FRESH squeezed orange juice, yoghurts, fruit etc. Easy 15 minute walking across to the popular shopping districts. (Pro tip - parking for the shopping mall is underneath the center and accessible directly to the hotel. But remember to take your parking ticket with you to reception to receive validation/discount. Otherwise an overnight parking stay can be 30 euro!)

Wow, just a fabulous stay. We visited for two nights in September (10th and 11th) for exploring…read morethe Landing Beaches, and World War II sites of Normandy. The hotel is situated on a nice square so we had very nice views out of our window. There is construction going on (improvements) to the square, but all the businesses were open and there was still lots of activity. The room was spacious and we received great housekeeping service every day. The hotel was super clean throughout. Breakfast, included in the room rate, was very good, and there was lots of variety. You were able to visit anytime during the several hours each morning that the buffet service was provided, rather than having to make a reservation for a table, which was great. The staff, including Laure, at the Front Desk, were very friendly and helpful in calling cabs, giving recommendations for restaurants, etc. She was especially nice and pleasant with each encounter. We had a great lunch/afternoon snack there, also, at the outdoor bistro, Café Coronne, at the hotel. We treated ourselves to the delicious "charcuterie" board, which featured the wonderful patés, sliced meats and cheeses, wonderful French butter, and assorted greens, and great bread. For dessert the creme brullee and café au lait was fantastic! This hotel is highly recommended as it's super conveniently located downtown, so you can walk lots of different places easily. The only drawback was the construction, which isn't the fault of the hotel, but did take away visually just a tiny bit. All in all, though, great visit.

The internet is free but not "unlimited" and only 2000MB permissible regardless if you stay is 1 day or 4.

The bed is stiff and no additional pillows available though it advertises as much upon request. Two sets of pillows are decorative and unsanitary to be utilized by varied guests to guests.

Stayed here with a military tour group for several nights in April 2015. Accommodations were ok. My…read moreroom was facing away from the street, which was great, but the only view I had was of a large, broad roof. Seemed much more like a motel than a hotel. The chairs were at least comfortable to sit on in the evening and there was Wi-Fi in the rooms. The beds were typically European - narrow - and anyone travelling with room-mates will find the cramped quarters something to get used to. The hotel did feature an excellent lounge and restaurant on-site, and we had a free breakfast every morning - I believe set up especially for our group, so I don't know that all the guests receive this. It was set up in a meeting room. Breakfast was well done with the usual croissants, sausage/bacon, etc. The hotel also offered a catered French dinner for our group, as we were celebrating our final day of a 14-day tour. There were some interesting choices and nothing outstanding but I suspect also the tour organizers may not have paid for the top selections. Meal was good for what it was. A comfortable stay. As well, the hotel is walking distance from a shopping mall, the transit line, and a McDonald's. Staff I talked to were courteous and helpful.
