Centrally located, though I needed my Satnav to guide me through Caen's streets to find it. Parking a little limited outside hotel, but huge underground car park close by (I was lucky and only had to use this once!)
We stayed 4 nights... 3 of us in single rooms. Rooms were spotless and bed very comfy. Sheets changed every morning and everywhere vacuumed and polished.(One of my colleagues even found his laptop screen had been cleaned in his absence!)
Facilities good... ensuite bathroom with small but adequate shower area. I'm a big 6'4" chap and I coped ok in there!
Breakfast was sufficient for our needs and to be fair they honoured my for some "Pain au Chocolat" instead of the usual "Croissant". Very impressed.
Staff were cheerful and knowledgeable, and even understood my attempts at the French language.
The hotel was lovely and quiet at night, though I was woken early one morning by the charming call of a lark ( I think) singing.
Great for touring the WWII sights as we did. Caen at night is a lively and interesting place... plenty of restaurants for all budgets and bars for all styles (though drinking is not cheap these days as we found out!!!)
All in all a fantastic little hotel in a wonderful and interesting town.

We stayed at the Hotel de la Fontaine for 3 nights in May 2008.
It is centrally located in Caen. This was a plus as getting to public transportation was very easy. The taxi ride to the train station was less than 10 minutes and less than 10 Euro's.

The staff were outstanding and provided good advice on things to do in Caen. The room was small, but spotless clean.
For the price this is an excellent value.

I would stay at the hotel again, without doubt.

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.

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.
