Excellent location and value for money. Surprisingly good breakfast considering it was free.

Best Western Royal Hotel Caen
Nice hotel in a great location. The bathroom was a good size — something that can be hard to find in France. My only critique is that one of the front desk staff, the gentleman with the beard, could improve his customer service skills. That said, I still give this establishment five stars ...

Hôtel des Quatrans
Very helpful staff. Close to everything and especially restaurants like Monsieur Louis on Pl. Saint-Sauveur. Only small complaint would be how tight the bathroom was. A tall person would have trouble sitting on the toilet in the room I had on the 4th floor. But nice view from the balcony.

Hôtel La Fontaine Caen Centre
host Matthew was great!. I should have looked for a three star hotel that might have had an elevator. Room was quite small. Breakfast was OK no hot food.
