My wife and I stayed in a 2nd floor corner room with one side facing the cathedral. We paid 60 Euros/night for the room. The hotel staff was friendly and very helpful when they were available. We arrived on a Sunday which can be difficult since the hotel is minimally manned on that day.

Our room was relatively small by U.S. standards and I think average by European standards. Previous commenters made reference to the lighting of the cathedral. Indeed it occurs and it is extremely bright. For a minute I thought I was above the Arctic circle but the hotel installed very heavy light tight curtains. They kept the light out very well.

The room was a little spartan in decor but I guess I'd have to say that I wasn't there to go sightseeing in the room. I did notice that there is no air handling of any type for the room I was in so if someone were to stay in the summer, it might be a little uncomfortable. But since we were there in February, it was just fine.
Would I recommend this hotel to someone else? Sure but with the caveat that it would be best during the winter months.

The hotel is reasonably priced and the rooms are comfortable. I stayed here because my other hotel had misplaced my reservation so I did not have my pick of rooms. The rooms facing the cathedrale are quite loud at night. In the summer there is a sound and light show that goes until around 11pm. In the early morning you can hear all the trucks making their deliveries. unfortunatly the room does not have air conditioning so closing the windows is not an option, although that does not drown out the outside noise.The drapes do not help in keeping out the light. I would not stay here again unless I could be guaranteed a quiet room. The hotel owner is quite friendly, however after 9 pm there is no one at the front desk.

We arrived from Paris by train on a very hot day without a reservation. The hotel was easy to find. Just look for the Cathedral and there it is. You could not be closer. The only room available was their family room which was quite large with a cross breeze and a fabulous view, a large bathroom but no shower. Even though it was over the cafes downstairs, the noise died out by 11 so it was not a problem for sleeping. The next day they moved us into a room with a shower, which we prefer. Smaller but still with that great view and much less money (not that room #1 was too expensive-both were very reasonable and a fantastic value). The breakfasts were among the best we had on our trip. The staff was very helpful and extremely pleasant. We loved dining out in Rouen. Fabulous restaurants including the one that Julia Child raves about in her biography - La Couronne. All in all, a very pleasant experience.

Right next to the cathedral, so central to the main (only?) attraction of Rouen and shopping, dining, etc. Can't beat the location in Rouen, but we didn't like Rouen itself, so our view of the hotel may be distorted.

Great location also meant difficult parking -- we walked 5 blocks from a garage with luggage, though we probably could've been a bit closer. The service was fine. The room was fairly clean by French standards. The beds and linens were tired, which is what we were after a fitful night of sleep. We had a balcony room but the plastic furniture and plastic green carpet made it all feel cheap.The hotel manager on duty during the day spoke good English but no one else (i.e., night clerk) did.

Bottom line: if you have to stay in Rouen, this is a decent option, but we won't be going back and wouldn't recommend anyone go out of their way for it...
