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.

De la Fontaine hotel was wonderful. I stayed there two nights in July while visiting the Normandy area. The room was clean, comfortable, had a tv, double bed, private bathroom. There is free wi-fi, if you have your own laptop. It was in a relatively safe area, although you should stop by the tourist information place about 2-3 blocks away in order to have them draw a map for you to get to the hotel. Right near the tram, the buses, restaurants, supermarket. Owners are great, charming and helpful.

The only thing about Caen, is that it is not the city to go to in order to get all the Normandy Beach tours. Caen is a great city, and has a decent enough memorial museum to World War II, but its very narrowly focused. I ended up taking a train to Bayeaux to catch a tour with Battle Bus - IT WAS AWESOME.

Spent a night here last week for a 24 hour trip to France. It was clean, welcoming and warm in the centre of Caen.Parked in the centre and walked to the hotel. Not very easy to find. We got very close then had to ask a policeman. The receptionist was charming. The drew a map for us which meant at 7pm we could park the car outside free until 9.30am. Had a superb meal at Le Carlotta 5mins walk away on the portside. Superb value break
