Bra val för vår familj

Bra läge mitt i Caen. Skön säng.
Trevlig frukost.

Bäddsoffan till barnen gnisslade mycket. Varmt i rummet då det var varma dagar i Frankrike.

Rapporto qualità prezzo ottimo
Pros:

Posizione ottima, personale molto gentile, colazione ricca con prodotti di qualità. Pulito.

Cons:

Non è colpa di nessuno, ma con la canicul non avere le persiane e non avere l'aria condizionata è stato un problema.
Ma nell'anno i giorni cosi sono sicuramente eccezionali.

Pros:

Very friendly reception. We booked very late minute (10 minutes) but warm welcome. Room small but clean. No air conditioning on a very hot night but a good fan and it was too bad and it was the hottest day ever in France. Lots of nearby underground secure parking. Free water and coffee during reception hours.

Cons:

Nothing.

Clean, comfortable, convenient
Pros:

Small hotel right in the town center with walking access to historic sites, restaurants, bars, shopping, and easy parking right around the corner. Your typical smaller European hotel room, clean and comfortable, the service was helpful and attentive. We did not have the breakfast but it looked great, we only had the delicious coffee each morning. For someone looking for a no-frills, but nice, clean, centrally located hotel room, this fits the bill.

Posizione ok, ma camere…
Pros:

La posizione è buona, la zona consente un facile parcheggio, diverse boulangerie nella zona per fare colazione

Cons:

Stanze veramente piccolissime e poco curate, bagni scadenti, in generale basso rapporto qualità/prezzo. Comunque la pulizia è accettabile
