A really super hotel for a stay in central Caen. Clean and comfortable with very friendly staff. Everything is in easy reach and a wealth of places to eat and drink are very close by.
The Hôtel La Fontaine is highly recommended. It is so tastefully decorated and very clean and quite. The customer service provided is above and beyond what we have typically experienced….perfect!
I had a lovely stay in the Hotel Fontaine for the DDay commemorations. Secure underground car park very close by, a stroll to several good restaurants and the beautiful chateau.
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}.
Nice little hotel in the walking district. Difficult to regulate temperature overnight with heavy drapery and no top sheets…comforter only.

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.

Older small hotel, No elevator. Matthew the owner was an outstanding host.
host Matthew was great!. I should have looked for a three star hotel that might have had an elevator. Room was quite small. Breakfast was OK no hot food.
