Hôtel Mercure Rouen Centre Champ-de-Mars
8/10 Good
"We enjoyed this hotel a lot! But the infrared sauna and gym closed for repairs after 2 nights which was disappointing. Another issue was the room temperature ~ they couldn’t drop it below 19 degrees as it was too early in the season (?) for them…this was in april and it was quite warm.the meals at the restaurant were wonderful, and the cheese dome is worthy of a view and ordering a raclette was outstanding. It is walkable distance from the downtown and the churches, and rouen itself was charming."

Hotel is quite modern , clean and functional, as was the small double room we had, the bed was comfortable and the shower water was hot . Overall it was an ok cheap , clean one night stop with no frills ! "
Novotel Suites Rouen Normandie
6/10 Okay
"The hotel room is exact setting like the room I had in ibis style, but this room is much higher.
The parking entrance is very narrow. Also, when I arrived at the hotel, the staff didn't give clear instructions on the password and the parking zone until we asked about it. I first got the password for the main gate, then I drove around the car park and couldn't figure out which parking slots were available, as they all seemed to be blocked by barriers. My friend had to ask the staff again, and only then did they tell us that the yellow zone is for Novotel's guests. It took me half an hour to park the car. "
