Pros:

Excellent family hotel, well placed in the centre of Caen. Great value for money, the room was quiet and spotlessly clean, simply but tastefully decorated. The breakfast was excellent with a selected choice of fresh local products and pastries. Easy parking, and also a few minutes walk to the bus which takes you to the airport (about 30 minutes ride). Good restaurants around the hotel, and all the sites reachable by foot. Would definitely recommend. There are indeed steps and stairs up to the hotel and rooms, but you know this before you book, and the staff can help you with luggage if necessary, so I don't think this is a reason to knock points off the hotel!!

Propre mais minuscule
Pros:

L'accueil sympathique et efficace
La propreté irréprochable

Cons:

La taille minuscule des sanitaires.
Difficile d'entrer dans la douche , la porte s'ouvre dans la douche et prend toute la place.
Lavabo ridiculement petit, pas une seule tablette ne serait ce pour poser sa brosse à dent, un seul crocher pour les serviettes de toilette (chambre pour 2 adultes) ....
Matelas plutôt mou
