Never again and will question the group at large
Thus was the absolute pits, parking was terrible to the point my car was blocked in and i could not leave for dinner, i complained to staff who did nothing i was given assurances but nothing happened. It cam to after midnight where i insisted something was done and they started calling rooms but still nothing. I threatened to call Gendarme and eventually they found the owner and moved the car I suffered by not being able to meet a colleague for dinner and my sleep was terrible and little. I want to iisue a formal complaint to the owners.

The hotel has been renovated and is well located
The hotel is conveniently in the heart of Caen in walking distance of all the key tourist sites and plenty of restaurants to choose from. The Hotel doesn't have air conditioning, however the staff will provide you with a fan to circulate the air in the room.

Nice hotel close to the chateau
I was there mainly to visit the D-Day museum. I could ride the bus from nearby and the tourist center was also close. Hotel was comfortable and had a great breakfast. I didn't eat dinner, but it is considered quite a gourmet paradise. I spent a little time in the cozy bar, writing in my journal. Staff was very nice.

Good base of operations to explore
Good hotel, close to castle and center of town, easy access to train station via tram.... free parking is tight, but we managed fine. It was a good place to stay to explore the beaches of Normandy, Mont St. Micheal, Bayeux etc

A real 'Old Europe' experience.
This is a charming hotel - modern but in a very old building. There is no elevatir so bags need to be carried up and down. The rooms and bathrooms are tiny but beautiful. The location cant be beat.

The hotel is at a great location and is clean. The lack of air conditioning made for a warm night. Parking is very tight and limited

Comfortable hotel in central Caen
We arrived early and were pleased to have our room available. Our cozy third floor double room had the feel of an historic attic but with all modern comforts. The helpful manager provided us good tips to sightsee, and we enjoyed a fine dinner in the hotel dining room.

Great Spot for backpackers or D-Day enthusiasts.
During my visit to the D-Day battlegrounds, I chose this hotel due to its ideal location. The staff was very polite and professional and the wifi was of decent quality. You're also close to an 11th Century Chateau as well as having plenty of restaurants in walking distance. The only negative was the parking situation, the hotel didn't have many spots and it was cramped...but the staff helped me out with finding spots too. I'd stay here again!

It was supposed to be charming
I chose the hotel because it was listed in an old nunnery and looked very charming. I had also heard that it was the best hotel in Caen. In fact, it was very ordinary. The room was small and could have been a Best Western anywhere in the states. It had no charm at all. The restaurant at the hotel was highly recommended. The food was good, the service good and it was all very expensive (even if it had been by Paris standards). Overall, I would give this hotel a pass.

rapport qualité/prix médiocre
Au vu du prix de la chambre (135€), mieux vaut réserver au best western Modern à 300 mètres de celui-ci, aussi bien placé avec chambres plus spacieuses, lits plus grands; enfin tout est mieux à moins cher. Il n'y a pas de spa mais il faut ajouter 15€ par personne pour y accéder alors que dans d'autres Best Western c'est gratuit. Donc je ne recommande pas cet établissement.

Bel hôtel, mais pas en ce moment.
Très faible notre générale malgré un hôtel de qualité. En effet il est en travaux et les chambres donnent sur un échafaudage. Ouvriers "sympathiques" mais présent devant vos fenêtres à partir de 8h30. J'ai signalé le problème à la réception qui n'a même pas eu un mot de regret. (pas son problème)

Bonne première impression et gros potentiel.
Arrivée tardive sur une belle bâtisse ancienne mais traitée de façon contemporaine, une première impression très positive. Déception assez rapide avec un intérieur en contraste avec la première impression et une décoration d'un autre temps et défraîchie. L'établissement mériterait une belle rénovation intérieure. Travail à faire sur la mise en avant des services proposés par l'établissement.

Fräscht hotell
Mycket rent och fräscht rum och badrum med separat toalett. Positivt med kylskåp, vattenkokare och safebox på rummet, men dåligt att hiss saknas. Jag fick släpa upp väskorna i en böjd trappa. Det går att åka lokalbuss från järnvägsstationen till hotellet som ligger i lugnt område, men det är ganska ont om restauranger i närheten. Provade inte hotellets frukost, då den var riktigt dyr.
