Very good place to to stay and visit Normandy. The rooms are spacious, clean and quiet. The toilette is, especially, very comfortable. The personnel was very kind and very helpful. They resolved where I could keep my bike and lent me a socket to recharge my devices because I forgot it in my house. Many thanks.

An excellent hotel the room was spotless and the staff very helpful. Great transport links with the railway station across the road and tram and buses passing regularly. Highly recommend this for exploring Normandy.

Whether waiting for a car rental to be ready or early for your train, this is a great spot to have a drink and a snack. The owner is a kind and friendly guy. They have a toilet you can use too! And you can pay with a cc, debit card, or cash.

My wife and I found ourselves in a tight spot as we missed our train, which happened to be the last of the night. This place was right across the street and was very reasonably priced and comfortable! The owner/manager was very friendly and helpful when we came to get a room. We were really pleased with our stay here!

This small hotel was just great. The owner was super helpful. The rooms were small(typical) but very nice and clean and quiet. When we found that all the tours of Normandy battles were sold out, the owner started working for us. Before it was over, we had a private taxi with a very friendly and information driver that took us to Omaha Beach and the American Cemetary. Then on the return took time to take through bayeux. I love French people now.

Conveniently situated opposite Caen station this is a very reasonably priced hotel. Spotlessly clean, perfect for anyone spending a few days exploring the area. Julien is a very helpful, attentive, and personable host. Nice continental breakfast, once again very reasonably priced. I have no hesitation in recommending and promoting this hotel to travellers.

I stayed at this hotel for 2 nights and it was perfect as a bace for our visits to the cote fleurie . Very reasonable price, clean somewhat small rooms but situated opposite the railway station. Almost all car rental agencies are situated in the same street. The owner/manager was polite, helpful and kind and assisted us with planning our trip. I can highly recommend this hotel!

I didn't stay in the hotel, but was in the cafe on 3 occasions during my 2 day visit in Normandy. The waiters are very friendly and helpful, and a few of them speak great English. Excellent meals as well

The owner was very, very nice. He runs a little cafe with free light breakfast as well. Very basic, sort of Spartan accommodations. Right across the street from the train station, which was convenient, but I didn't factor in the noise, which can't be helped. If you're on a budget for a short stay, an option to consider.
