"This location was unbeatable. Couldn't have asked for better. Staff were friendly and helpful. Elevator is very tiny so we had to do multiple trips. We were very lucky and got a car.park in the street but that might be a challenge normally. Breakfast was basic but enough. Room was a bit hot but we slept with window open. Could see this being a problem in hot summer months. Would highly recommend this place!"

Top Centre Ancien Hotel Reviews

Château de Bellefontaine

8/10 Good

"The property’s setting is exceptional and please don’t miss out on having dinner at their restaurant. It is great value, delicious and very convenient. Their breakfast was very good and had lots of options. We had a deluxe room. The only reason way it wasn’t a 5 star is that the toilet is in a separate room from the show. The minor inconvenience made up for by being on the ground floor walk out and having lots of place in the room. We also liked the parking. Merci à tous!"

Village Normandy Garden Pierre & Vacances

8/10 Good

"Accommodation very clean and well equipped, in need of some tlc paintwork very damaged ,beds very comfortable we all slept well . Food in the restaurant really good ,its a shame the bar area is open very limited times so if you wanted a drink or a coffee only available when restaurant open ,nothing else close without a good 15 to 20 min drive.Good pools but awful smell in the changing rooms ."

Sure Hotel by Best Western Caen Mémorial

8/10 Good

"A warm reception from the staff, good English which always makes me feel guilty! Clean, comfortable and well maintained with every staff member engaging, helpful and professional. Rooms were comfy, food although a limited choice, was well prepared and tasty. Breakfast though was a little light on choice, but was ok. It has a small gym and a heated pool. My one little criticism is if it's raining there is nowhere outside that is covered. What i mean is there are no overhanging shelters of any kind. So if you are a smoker then rain will mean you need an umbrella. Other than that, plenty of parking, good location close to the memorial museum and only 30 mins from the ferry"

Hôtel Libéra Restaurant & Spa Caen-Colombelles

10/10 Excellent

"A terrific location - close to the center of Caen as well as an easy drive to many lovely towns and historic sites. The hotel was quiet and clean and the staff were so friendly and really pleasant to interact with. We would definitely stay here again."
