So glad we stayed here! Can’t imagine a better location!
Pros:

Amazing location, just steps away from the cathedral and an amazing view of church of St McClou as well. Quaint, delightful village with charming Tudor-style architecture Fantastic restaurants just steps away as well. Cannot imagine a better location. Staff was lovely and breakfast was delicious—esp the pain au chocolate and the fresh grapefruit juice. Lift was helpful for our luggage.

Cons:

Bathroom was in an odd location and shower stall was minimal and unappealing. Sink was across the room. Just have to remember the building is very old! Public parking was safe and in a nice location but VERY hard to find the entrance using Google Maps!

Top locatie wel klaar voor wat vernieuwing van binnen
Pros:

Top locatie en een mooi gebouw

Cons:

Al het meubilair maar zelfs de handdoeken zijn wel een keer aan vernieuwing toe. Het is natuurlijk een oud pand en dat hoort er wat bij maar ik kon letterlijk door een handdoek heenkijken omdat hij zo dun was geworden van al het gebruik.

Cons:

Colazione senza scelta di dolci classici francesi , solo brioche , anche se molto buone .
Assenza di parcheggio e anche l’impossibilità di scaricare i bagagli davanti alla struttura ( sarebbe opportuno dare accesso temporaneo nell’area a traffico controllato abbassando la torretta a scomparsa per gli ospiti )

Zentrales Lage mit Abstrichen bei der Ausstattung.
Pros:

Das Hotel ist in die Jahre gekommen und könnte eine Renovierung vertragen. Die Unterkunft ist nicht mit dem Auto erreichbar und parken geht nur in einem Parkhaus. Das Hotel liegt ruhig direkt gegenüber der Kathedrale.

Cons:

Ausstattung stark abgenutzt und könnte ersetzt werden.

Un hôtel de charme, au coeur du centre piéton.
Pros:

La chambre formait un petit cocon tranquille.
La façade ancienne de l'hôte et l'entrée de l'hôtel sont très belles. La cour intérieure et la terrasse sur le toit ont aussi beaucoup de charme.
J'ai apprécié aussi la situation, au coeur du centre-ville piéton.

Cons:

Le mobilier de la chambre pourrait être plus pratique (coin frigo) , et la salle d'eau plus modernisée.

Fijne plek, vlakbij alle plekken die je wilt zien in Rouen.
Pros:

Mooi ouderwets pand met gezellige binnentuin. Wij hadden een fijne ruime kamer in de nok, met uitzicht op de duiven onder het dak. Lekker bed, met schone badkamer.

Cons:

niets

Wir waren mit dem Zimmer 9 im Altbau nicht zufrieden.
Pros:

Die Lage ist oprimal zu4 Besichtigung der Stadt.
Das Frühstück war sehr gut zu einem fairen Preis.

Cons:

Wir haben ein normales Doppelzimmer gebucht. Bekommen haben wir ein Dreibettzimmer zur Strasse. Es war sehr abgewohnt und schlecht renoviert. Die Dusche in der Badewanne war teilweise defekt. Zimmer 9 im Altbau kann ich nicht empfehlen.
In dem neueren hinteren Teil des Hotels sah es deutlich besser aus.
