Top Rouen Hotel Reviews

Hotel de Bourgtheroulde, Autograph Collection

8/10 Good

"The hotel itself is well maintained and very clean, and the location is excellent. The staff was also consistently friendly and helpful. However, there were a few things that fell short of what I would expect from a five-star hotel. On our first day, we asked for an extra luggage rack, but it was never delivered, so we had to ask again the following day. We also told the receptionist that the refrigerator in our room was not working. No one ever came to check it, so we were unable to use it during our stay. On another day, while we were sleeping late, the housekeeper attempted to enter the room. The door was latched, so he could not come in, but rather than leaving us alone after realizing that we were inside, he continued trying to open the door. We eventually got up and told him that we were still sleeping and asked him to come back later, at which point he pressed us to give him a specific time to return. These are relatively small things, but they are not what one would expect from a five-star hotel. That said, the staff was always friendly, and overall the hotel is attractive, clean, and very well located."

Mercure Rouen Centre Cathedrale

10/10 Excellent

"Room a good size and clean, well set up at checkin. Car parking is available at the hotel, although it is a restricted space and larger cars are a tight fit. It’s also quite complicated to reach the hotel the first time. Great breakfast with wide choice for the family. Fantastic location with easy access to historic Rouen and shops."

Hôtel Mercure Rouen Centre Champ-de-Mars

8/10 Good

"The hotel staff is amazing. From the moment we entered the property until we left they were very helpful and exceptionally pleasant. We were provided amazing directions on all the must see sites along with additional tips. The room was clean and comfortable. The amenities were bare with only a combination soft soap/ shampoo, no conditioner or lotion. Parking is tight but very secure. The location is superb. We enjoyed our stay."

Hotel Litteraire Gustave Flaubert, Signature Collection

10/10 Excellent

"This property has an excellent location!"
