Comfortable and affordable option in Caen, if the stairs are not a problem for you.
Pros:

Easy to find from the train station, friendly staff and clean, adequate stopover option.

Cons:

No elevator made the hike up to the 4th floor a bit tiresome, after a long days travel. The breakfast didn’t include options like cereals, but was still adequate.
