Top 10 hotels in Caen, France

August 7, 2022 Enedina Augsburger

Caen’s historic center—with its medieval monuments, Romanesque churches, and poignant memorials—stands testament to the port city's troubled history, caught in the crossfire of Normandy’s most significant battles. Today, a thriving student population injects modernity, bringing with it numerous bars, restaurants, and markets.

The hotel is ideally located in the city centre of Caen and the windows overlook the iconic Place de la République. The location is also practical with a supervised underground public car park 20 yards away - rare in the city centre. There is also a car park for coaches between the trees, beside the taxi rank. Our 47 rooms marry simplicity, comfort and modern conveniences. Each one will tell a different story of Caen and will leave you with a different recollection of the city centre. Our lounge bar is a pleasant place in which to unwind after a day out visiting or working. Our themed bookshelves are entirely dedicated to the city of Caen, Calvados and Normandy. They are full of ideas and will inspire you to go exploring. Every morning, you will find a hearty buffet breakfast in the comfortable, tastefully decorated dining room, but you can always enjoy breakfast in bed if you prefer.

Superb hotel and secure parking

Reviewed By davidm545

Couldn't fault our stay, we arrived around 22.00 from the ferry, checked and made our way to the bar, & even at this time was offered the food menu. If a light snack is all that you want the sharing meat & cheese plater is excellent, with the local beer. The room was superb clean fresh and plenty of space, fairly central but quiet and peaceful a joy to stop at. For bikers the knowledge that your bike is safe, behind locked gates or in my case in the garage for 7€ ?

Clos Saint Martin

Set in the historic centre of Caen, just off the Place St-Martin is this lovingly-restored mansion, dating from the sixteenth to the eighteenth centuries.Sylvie and Jean Noel have used traditional materials in the restoration, which has revealed the stone and timber ceilings and the superb curved staircase leading to the guest rooms, or rather suites as they are so very large and so richly furnished and decorated.Delicious breakfasts with candle are served at small tables in the ground-floor dining room.

A Lovely Place to Stay and Great Location

Reviewed By FLB

This is a lovely bed and breakfast in a great part of town. Our green room was very large and comfortable. David, the owner, greeted us upon our arrival and helped us with our luggage to our room. Our room was very quiet even though there were four people staying in the room next door. Using the bathtub/shower was a bit of a challenge getting in and out because the tub has a very high side to it. The continental breakfast included juice, fresh fruit, yummy bread and pastry, cheeses and a hot beverage. It was perfect for us and the woman serving us was lovely. The big downside for us was when it was time for us to depart there was no one there to assist us with our luggage. We are seniors and were traveling with 3 pieces of luggage, each weighing about 30 pounds. The stairway is winding and hard to maneuver with the luggage. If we were still in our 20s and were just traveling with a backpack it would not have been a problem.

Great staff, comfortable room

Reviewed By Mrandmrspipkin

After a long day we finally arrived about 9pm. Staff wonderful and spoke excellent English. Room comfortable and clean. Unfortunately our mini bar fridge didn’t work so we had to throw away some bits we brought for our toddler but not the end of the world. We were going to dine here on the Saturday evening but unfortunately only a bbq was on , no 24 hour snack menu like it says on their website. Again not the end of the world as we managed to get pizza delivered. Would stay again.

Very reasonable and ideal for a one-night stopover

Reviewed By Aitch222

No issues with our one-night stopover. Check-in and out were a doddle, reception staff very friendly and parking was good. Rooms are sufficient in size, double bed more comfortable than it looked and a cubicle bathroom (see Travelodge) that works fine (good shower, shame it has a curtain) though no hairdryer. The price reflects the amenities, it's fairly basic but it isn't selling itself under false pretences. No restaurant on a Sunday but there are a few eateries within easy walking distance that do open in Sundays. For a one-night stay I would recommend though you may consider paying more for better quality and facilities should you be staying in Caen for longer.

Brit Hotel Caen Nord - Memorial

hotel is OK, but staff is not correct

Reviewed By patrick G

I arrived on a Sunday evening at 20:00 pm without reservation. Only 4 - 5 cars on the parking place in front and plenty of rooms available on booking.com. Nevertheless the receptionist told me the hotel was fully booked. When I showed her the booking app on my cellphone she agreed to check 'if the were no cancellations'. And yes she could offer me a room for 20€ more than the booking.com price. When I said in that case I would go out and do the booking by booking.com from the parking place, she agreed to charge me about the same price. This is not my custom way to do business but the lady forced me to do it as such. Why? Correct (but rather small and low) room. Confortable bath room but broken soap (and thus empty) soap dispenser in the shower. Did cleaning staff not remarks that?
