The hotel is fine for people on low budget bus tours, who are happy with mediocre breakfasts, but it lacks any local culture and is located in a boring part of town, but staff were friendly and there was nothing horrible about the place.

Bom para curta estadia

A estadia ocorreu tudo bem. O quarto é bem grande mesmo, e esse foi o ponto alto. Tivemos espaço suficiente para nossas malas e tudo. O café da manhã é bem simples, sem muita opção, mas bom. O hotel aparenta ser um pouco antigo também.

Chambre 308 salle, meuble abîmés, présence de poil et cheveux dans la salle de bain, sur le mobilier de la chambre. WC mal nettoyés aussi. Lit confortable et propre. Petit déjeuner à 12 euros qui est vraiment décevant, et ne met pas en appétit.

Great reception. Very helpful staff. Room comfortable. Great bathroom. The hotel is very well situated next to a shopping centre. There is also a restaurant next door, "l'atelier" where you get 10% off meals with the hotel.

The hotel is dated and looks a little worn. But the best part was the incredible staff that helped make sure our stay was great. Without the staff this would have been a 3 star review.

Glacial

J'ai l'habitude d'aller dans cet hôtel et n'ai jamais été déçu, sauf cette fois, où il faisait un froid glacial dans la chambre, sans possibilité de mettre le chauffage. Je veux bien qu'on fasse des économies d'énergie et qu'on soit éco-responsables, mais on ne vient pas non plus à l'hôtel pour tomber malade !

Ottimo hotel per un soggiorno in Normandia

Hotel molto buono, ci siamo trovati bene. La posizione è decentrata, il nostro era un viaggio in macchina per cui è stata una soluzione ottima per andare a Caen, ma anche per andare a visitare la normandia più in generale. Si raggiungono con poco tutte le arterie stradali. La camera era confortevole e pulita. Il personale gentile. Consigliato
