“Very good location”
The location is very good. It is very close to the Château de Caen which is the historical centre and where nice restaurants gathers. I also love that the room has a very vintage feeling but also feels clean.

Location-near city centre & Abbeys. Table-fan in room was greatly appreciated; would have been difficult to sleep otherwise.

The woman at reception was so nice. Very pleasant and accommodating both upon arrival and departure. She explained parking in detail and even came up to the room to explain where everything was. A very nice way to arrive.

Very friendly and helpful staff. The small terace garden was a gem. Perfect to relax there with a glass of wine and a book. If you are there on a Friday, do not miss the morning market, just around the corner.
