About this stay
Set back on a quiet street rather than a main thoroughfare, this two-star hotel sits two hundred metres from Caen's marina and five minutes from the train station, close to downtown without sitting on top of it or its evening noise. The eighteen non-smoking rooms were laid out and decorated with care, each with a private bathroom, and some are adapted for guests with reduced mobility. Reception hours run from 14:00 to 22:00, with check-in from 14:00 to 21:00 and check-out until 11:00, and pets are not permitted on site. A buffet breakfast starts the day before guests head out into the city centre or along the quiet marina promenade.

Our take
A two-star on a quiet central street, 200 metres from Caen's marina and five minutes from the station, with non-smoking rooms and some adapted for reduced mobility. The buffet breakfast is a good start to the day. Guests rate it 8.2 across nearly 1,000 reviews, a solid result for a simple hotel. I recommend it to rail travellers and anyone who wants a calm, well-located room for exploring Caen on foot.
- ✓Check reception hours before arriving, they run only from 14:00 to 22:00.
- ✓Ask specifically for an accessible room if reduced mobility is a factor, not all rooms are adapted.
- ✓Walk to the marina in the evening, it is two hundred metres and quieter than the main streets.
Why we love it
- A quiet street two hundred metres from the marina

Why guests love itHôtel de Caen sits on a quiet street in the city centre, 200 metres from the marina and five minutes from the train station, which makes arriving by rail with children easy. Rooms are non-smoking with private bathrooms, and some are adapted for guests with reduced mobility, useful for families travelling with grandparents or a pushchair. A buffet breakfast is served each morning. I would use it as a calm, central base for walking to the marina and the old town.
