I would highly recommend this hotel. Railway station is opposite so great if you want to use the trains which will connect you Bayeux Paris etc. All the trams and buses pass here too so easy to get about Caen. My room was spotless and cleaned every day could not fault it. The staff are friendly and very helpfull if you need any information just ask them. The reason for my trip was to visit the D-Day sites and i found it an excellent base to expore from. A big thank you to the staff for a plesant stay.…I would highly recommend this hotel.
