My wife was having some medical issues and it was really difficult for her to climbed three flights of stairs. After explaining my situation to the manager he was unwilling to give us a room on the bottom floor. Parking is really difficult to find if you get back late.

Charming room
Overall a pleasant experience. The room is spacious and has a nice character. The location is great, just few steps from the pedestrian city centre area.
Overall the room was clean but not spotless clean ( I made the mistake to put my bag over the wardrobe…. And lots of dust came down). In general I would say great value for money

The hotel is an older, interesting property in a good part of the city. The rooms were comfortable and the staff was great. The owner, Isabella, was lovely and watched over our every need. We would highly recommend this hotel.

Lovely location
Very convenient for the centre of Caen and easy to find with a map. Lovely location near the chateau and a nice church, which is just visible from the quaint court yard outside some of the ground floor rooms and enclosed within the hotel. Medieval building, so lots of character. Breakfast was an additional cost to the price of the room. Our family room was adequate and had a TV and the beds were comfy.

Great value and very convenient for onward travels
Great value for money. An attractive hotel with basic but comfortable rooms. We didn't have breakfast as we wanted to explore the old city and have breakfast in one of the many cafes. We were made very welcome.

Very good location, reception staff was very welcoming and was on hand to give map of Caen and relevant information about restaurants nearby.
Breakfast was very good too and again the staff made sure that there was always a supply of food (croissants etc..)

On a quiet street
Well located to see the major historical sights in Caen on foot, near major shopping and eateries, but in a quiet narrow street. The service was superb. While my single room was small, it was well laid out and efficient use of the space.

Lovely old building, small room was a bit cramped and overall lighting was poor. Room was on second floor which didn't help as there is no lift, but it was my fault that I had not specified limitations.
