Campanile PRIME - Caen Centre Gare

Campanile PRIME - Caen Centre Gare

8/10 Good
"Excellent location: very close to the train station. The room was very clean and quiet but very small. The bed was comfortable and I was able to get a restful sleep. The breakfast buffet had freshly baked baguette and freshly squeezed orange juice, very fluffy eggs, plus other choices of food."

Novotel Caen Cote De Nacre

Novotel Caen Cote De Nacre

8/10 Good
"The hotel was generally clean. Some parts were a little run down, but nothing major. The pool was very cold, despite been listed as heated - even in the August heat wave! The hotel advertises air conditioning - it does not have A/C!! It has a general 'air cooling system' which doesn't cool the rooms in the slightest. You can't alter the temperature in the room and no cool air comes from the vent. This was confirmed by reception when we reported our 'A/C' not working."

"Accommodation was perfect for our one night stay over on our way back to Cherbourg. A bit dated in places, walls need a fresh layer of paint and kitchen needs to be refreshed. Beds were comfortable and we had plenty of space. We checked in after 8pm so we used the after hours check in process and it was clear and easy to follow."
