“Great Vaue and Excellent Staff”

Hotel de la Fontaine

Oct 25, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

I stayed at the Fontaine for 5 nights and used Caen as a base to see the sights of Normandy.

The hotel is excellent value and is located in the heart of Caen - not too far to walk to the main attractions in the town and a short taxi to/from the railway,if necessary (the walk is quite OK).

The staff were excellent - courteous, very helpful and full of good advice regarding the sights both in Caen and the surrounding precincts.

I would stay at the hotel again, without doubt.

“Great basic hotel”

Hotel de la Fontaine

4 of 5 stars
Hertfordshire, England
Sep 20, 2007
1/1 found this review helpful

We spent a Saturday night here as a break in the journey between Brittany and Calais. The rooms were basic, but comfortable, clean and had some character. The hotel was centrally located, and not too difficult to find, as it is signposted from a few streets away. We didn’t find it at all noisy; the bar that is located beneath it having closed down.

Breakfast was fresh bread and croissants and was good and there was as much of it as required. The proprietor was helpful and attentive without being pushy.

Overall it is a good simple hotel, very centrally located and at a great price.

One tip - you can park in the underground car park in the square that is about 100m from the hotel, however if you want you get out on a Sunday, all of the entrances are locked. This caused us, and another family, some panic as we had visions of waiting until Monday to get our car out. However there is a pedestrian entrance to the car park near the main car entrance. You have to use your car park ticket as the entrance key to the door and then use the automatic payment machine when inside.

This is a central hotel parking in underground car park is 8 euroes a few yards away. The room was clean and staff welcoming after a long drive.Walking to places of interest and restaurants is easy. triple room consisted of a double with en suite and an adjoining single with shower and washbowl. Bedding was spotless. Breakfast was friendly in the morning giving chance to meet other tourists. Never heard anyone complain about the hotel. So go ahead book it .

“A nice stay”

Hotel de la Fontaine

4 of 5 stars
Staten Island, NY
Aug 30, 2007

For the price we paid, we got a very reasonable deal. The hotel can be difficult to find, it's not far from the Republique parking garage, and it's not much to look at from the outside, but I would stay there again. The receptionist is very nice and her English was very good. The room was not terribly big, had a TV and was clean.

When I booked this room, I forgot to consider that I had a train leaving Caen at 6:40 that evening and so had no place to leave my luggage between check out and the train departing (I was very much looking foward to visiting Caen). Fortunately, the receptionist had no problem holding our luggage for the day in their private room while we did our sightseeing. This was a huge help and was very happy that they were willing to do this for me.
