Really useful stopover in a great location
Pros:

It was perfectly located, near to all the places we were interested in seeing and a pleasant location within which to walk about

Cons:

room was a little small had we intended to stay longer - but given this was a stopover on a journey it was fine

Pros:

la cortesia, disponibilità e i sorrisi. la camera ben illuminata e aerata, il letto comodo e il piccolo ripostiglio antibagno. Pulizia ottima. Posizione ottima per la visita della città. Da consigliare

Cons:

Il terzo piano senza ascensore è l'unica pecca trovata ma i gestori sono stati pronti ad aiutarci con le valigie.

La posizione, ambiente pulito

Non abbiamo potuto fare la colazione perché iniziava troppo tardi, troppo rumoroso perché non insonorizzato

Voor 1 nacht was het ok, maar zou niet nog een keer boeken
Pros:

Locatie, parkeren voor de deur, aardig personeel

Cons:

Heel veel lawaai, feestcafé onder ons verblijf, constant motoren die met mega veel herrie de hele nacht voorbij scheurden, net zoals heel veel ander verkeer. Was blij dat ik oordopjes mee had, maar is echt niet te doen

Pros:

Posizione centrale per scoprire Caen a piedi.

Cons:

Vista la posizione centrale e le finestre aperte, si sono sentiti rumori dalla strada fino a tarda notte. Colazione un po' limitata senza delle vere opzioni salate.

Nel complesso, normale.
Pros:

La posizione e la gentilezza dello staff.

Cons:

1) La pulizia, gli asciugamani erano sporchi/macchiati (fortunatamente li hanno cambiati il giorno dopo) e le lenzuola avevano della polvere/sabbia all’arrivo.
2) Nonostante la gentilezza del personale, al quale non è imputabile la cosa, abbiamo avuto la brutta sorpresa che ci hanno portato via la macchina che era parcheggiata davanti l’hotel a causa del mercato domenicale.
Per un hotel che sfrutta tale parcheggio per i clienti dovrebbe essere il minimo segnalare che la domenica le auto vengono rimosse, anche perché, come riferito dalla Polizia Locale, e un problema per i turisti che si ripete ogni weekend, con conseguente esborso di almeno 150 euro per le macchine portate al deposito.
3) Non vi e la presenza dell ascensore, se si alloggia alle ultime camere e si hanno valigie ingombranti può essere difficile il trasporto.
