Caen Hotel Guide - Family Friendly Hotels in Caen, Calvados

Our stay was good, The staff was quite helpful and the meal was excellent.

We are American, so we probably expect a little more out of our hotels. This hotel was a typical European hotel with small bedroom area and small bath. We didn't have A/C and we were in a room on the ground floor, so leaving the window open at night was a little dicey. Overall, this was a typical European hotel.

We were visiting friends so we needed a hotel in the centre of the city. The hotel was very good value and had good facilities. The hotel was manned over night so we were able to return late after a party.

I use this hotel when arriving at Caen/Ouistreham on the afternoon sailing. It's very easy to find; leave the périphérique west at the Caen Memorial and it's straight ahead on the second roundabout. Unlike many of the hotels, it is still staffed at that time of night. The staff are always very pleasant, the rooms are clean and comfortable. The ensuite facilities are quite adequate. There's plenty of safe parking. The breakfasts are basic but I'm not a big breakfast eater and there's plenty of what there is. This hotel is what it is; good value you for money. If you want 5⭐ luxury go elsewhere and pay for it. I've stayed here many times now and never been disappointed.

The Mercure was extremely well situated and convenient to all major attractions. We were very pleased with Ms Amy of the hotel staff. She was extremely helpful in getting us settled in our room as well as providing great information concerning local sights.

There is no elevator and room/bathroom were tiny. There was about 2 feet of space around the bed and a small table with the tv. We were only there over night so was doable. No room for suitcase! Staff friendly and helpful, great location, clean. They are building a new hotel on the property that will have an elevator and I expect larger rooms. Great stopping place from touring Normandy area. Had a great meal and loved the Cathedral in the middle of town.

We stayed here the night before our ferry. It worked really well as only 5mins from the Caen war memorial and 20 mins from the ferry port so location was excellent. The staff were very helpful and the room was clean and comfortable. The shower was nice and hot and powerful and the bed comfortable.

I do not like you force me writing more than I willing too.

This hotel was a real find. Large room (especially for Europe!), friendly service with most speaking fluent English (shout out to Quenton, who was the best!), good location (especially if coming by train), and free parking (lot was tight but they seemed to squeeze everybody in, including our oversized car). Internet was a bit spotty but they worked it out eventually. Good breakfast, and nice to have a bar for after the long days.

Very nice apartment-style hotel rooms: - kitchen with mid-size refrigerator, microwave, mini induction cooktop, mini sink, hot water pot, dishes, utensils - roomy bathroom with shower and hot towel rack useful for drying clothes, too - some rooms have a nice view of the Orne River - within walking distance to the Caen train and bus station and local sights - down the street from the Orne RIver Shopping Center - cold breakfast for 11 Euros/person had a lot of choices: fresh pastries and bread, fruit, cold meats, fresh eggs for boiling
