Hôtel très agréable ! Nous reviendrons encore
Pros:

La localisation de l'hôtel est idéale et le personnel très sympathique. Petit plus pour les bons produits servis au petit déjeuner.

Cons:

Je pense que des essuie-mains en tissu pourraient être mis à disposition dans les chambres pour les lavabos avec des porte-savons et des serviettes pour les cheveux.

Great loa
Pros:

Great place to stay in caen. Perfect location in the centre. Nice clean rooms, small but perfectly fine for city centre location. Bars and restaurants all around close to shops. Close to bus and tram stops. Parking in nearby car park is bit expensive( not under hotels control)but at least it's underground and secure and easily accessible. Coffee and hot drinks and water available at no extra cost from the reception was a bonus. We didn't pay extra for the breakfast on this occasion. Family run hotel, very nice and accomidating owners as we had to adjust our bookings. Would 100% recommend this hotel. If I'm in caen again this is where I'll stay

Cons:

Parking but it's outside the hotels control being city centre location

Bien para conocer Caen y alrededores en 1 o 2 días
Pros:

La ubicación es inmejorable. Si vas en coche, hay un aparcamiento en una plaza muy próxima, a 22 euros la noche. El propietario habla español y es muy amable.

Cons:

Habitación demasiado pequeña y sin aire acondicionado. No hay ascensor. Nos alojaron al lado de la zona del desayuno y a partir de las 07:00 demasiado ruido.
