Guest reviews
What travelers say
A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Had a great 2 nights stay, pre catching the ferry back to Portsmouth. Plenty of Parking within hotel grounds, had 2 Jack Russell's with us which were made welcome and because the hotel was very quiet, the dogs didn't make a sound. Restaurant close by and 2 big supermarkets 3 minutes walk away. Didn't have breakfast in the hotel but it was available. Staff very friendly, spoke much better English than I did French but they were simply very pleasant in their manner and interaction. If we need to stay in Caen again I would head for this hotel again. About 20 minutes drive to the ferry terminal so in a very convenient place in that regard.”
