Not good experience at all!

Staff was so rude in the check in. There is no lift and no warning beforehand. There is no parking available to carry suitcases easily. If you can find space there is one 5 mins walk distance and very expensive (€22 per day). Staff will say there is free parking after 7pm but you need to be very lucky to be able to find spaces. Sofa bed was horrible bed ever. It’s squeaky and I inclined down significantly. And pillows were like an inflated balloon, quite uncomfortable to sleep. There also is no control of heating. It’s cold at night and they didn’t turn on fully. Especially if you have a baby, think twice.

Cosy little hotel in central Caen

Mathieu and family made us feel very welcome in this lovely little hotel. The rooms are small and simple, but tastefully designed and very comfortable. It's a small hotel, so don't expect a huge buffet breakfast - just good bread, cheese, homemade yogurt and the local speciality teurgoule. The location is perfect, within walking distance of the castle and abbeys, and there are lots of buses and trams (get the Twisto app}.

Very central location. They have 3 floors but no elevator, so that’s something to keep in mind. The stay was comfortable for a short two days. No complains.

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Room was nicely decorated and very clean. But it was very small. Also no lift a four storey building so if you on top floor like us a lot of stairs to climb. Breakfast was very poor and could be improved. No eggs or yoghurt. No fresh milk only long life milk. Car parking at €22 per day is a bit stiff. Admittedly hotel doesn't own car park. But i think hotel should try and make alternative arrangements for clients. The two brothers who run it are very nice and helpful.
