The location was central, the staff member we met was friendly, and we liked that they were able to give us a map and restaurant reccomendations. The shower pressure was great and the bed very comfy.

“Great loa”
Great place to stay in caen. Perfect location in the centre. Nice clean rooms, small but perfectly fine for city centre location. Bars and restaurants all around close to shops. Close to bus and tram stops. Parking in nearby car park is bit expensive( not under hotels control)but at least it's underground and secure and easily accessible. Coffee and hot drinks and water available at no extra cost from the reception was a bonus. We didn't pay extra for the breakfast on this occasion. Family run hotel, very nice and accomidating owners as we had to adjust our bookings. Would 100% recommend this hotel. If I'm in caen again this is where I'll stay

The hotel was perfect for 1 night in Caen before we went off to a Wedding. Our room was decorated to a high spec and was very clean. The bed was really comfortable.
