It is a nice hotel located outside the city center of Caen. Although listed as 5 star, it would be closer to 4 star in my opinion.

Lovely hotel with a fantastic restaurant. Stayed one night. Had tasting menu lunch that was paired with different wines. We had an exceptional meal with great service at the table. Breakfast was also a delight. The night watchman even served us a calvados after we returned from the SM Caen match vs St-Etienne at midnight. Highly recommended.

The room was amazing. Very comfortable and roomy. Staff was very good. Breakfast is highly recommended - it was a good selection and high quality. My only complaint is that the room had an amazing bathtub but on the two occasions that I tried to take a bath there was only enough hot water for about 4 inches of the bathtub. Pretty disappointing as I'm a real bath person.

We visited the WW1 and WW2 sites and cemeteries in Normandy area. Hotel was conveniently located to the areas we visited. The room was a decent size and well equipped. The hotel and facilities were very clean and well kept. The Michelin rated restaurant in the hotel was a wonderful dining experience. Don’t miss your chance to dine in an excellent environment. Book your reservation when you check in. I recommend “la selection de rapas en toute confiance”. An excellent 5 days in Caen.

Absolutely wonderful service

The standout part was the service - such friendly staff who are very accommodating. The room was large and well equipped and whilst the car park is small we managed to secure a space for all the days we were there. Bonus!: there’s also a cat!

From the moment we arrived the staff was outstanding. Friendly. Accommodating. I made an error in booking and they fixed it even though they didn’t have to. Parking is free and easy. The restaurant is incredible. The food, presentation and service were all next level. Next trip to Caen we will be staying here again. Thank you Ivan Vautier staff.

Liked: Property conditions & facilities
Disliked: Staff & service, amenities
While the room itself was pretty nice, the decoration with a lot of taste...., I must say that this hotel falls short of a five-star experience; I would rate it as a three-star establishment, at most. For example, Although they advertise 24-hour room service, it is nonexistent. The shower was leaking so significantly that I almost had to turn it off, and the room cleaning was average. The most disappointing aspect was the self-service breakfast—the food was utterly tasteless and unappetizing. Based on my experience, I will not be booking this hotel again.

The property is located about a 25 minute walk away from Caen city centre. The surrounding area is very quiet and safe with lots of delicious patisseries very close by ( highly recommend trying). The room has everything you need, is very comfortable, clean and air-conditioned. The hotel has an area for workouts, with 3 pieces of aerobic equipment. This room is not like a normal gym, it is carpeted with chairs and tables in ( presumably for those waiting to use the spa?) with no ac ( that I found). But can easily do a workout in there. The hotel has private parking. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast, which has everything youd expect from a continental breakfast. The staff are all lovely and very welcoming. Highly recommend.

Mooi hotel met eigen parkeergelegenheid. De kamer en badkamer waren heel ruim en schoon. Gegeten in het sterrenrestaurant. Het was op dat moment heerlijk weer, dus lekker buiten kunnen zitten. Het ontbijt viel een beetje tegen. De eerste ochtend was het wel goed maar tijdens de tweede ochtend werd er slecht aangevuld, terwijl het toen wel druk was met gasten.
