Premiere Classe Caen Nord - Mémorial
A budget base four minutes from the Memorial
Superb · 4490 reviews
About this stay
Positioned a four-minute drive from Caen Memorial, this budget-focused hotel keeps things simple: rooms are accessed by lift and decorated plainly with a flat-screen TV and an alarm clock, each with its own en suite bathroom. Free Wi-Fi covers the whole property, and a buffet breakfast with daily newspapers gets guests started before a day at the Memorial or further out toward the coast. Typical French restaurants are a ten-minute drive away in the centre of Caen, so evenings usually mean a short drive rather than a walk. The N814 motorway sits a seven-minute drive away and the N13 4.5 kilometres from the air-conditioned hotel, with free private parking available.

Our take
I see the Premiere Classe as a sensible base for a Memorial visit and a loop of the landing beaches, not for exploring Caen itself. A 7.8 rating across nearly 4,500 reviews reflects a simple formula done consistently: en suite rooms, a lift, free parking and a terrace. Guests who want to walk to dinner in the old town or around the château should book somewhere more central instead.
- ✓Drive rather than walk to central Caen for dinner, restaurants are a ten-minute drive rather than a walk from here.
- ✓Use the free private parking rather than paying for a spot closer to the centre.
- ✓Pick up a daily newspaper at breakfast if you want a low-key start to the day.
Why we love it
- Four minutes from Caen Memorial by car
- En suite bathrooms with lift access
- Free Wi-Fi throughout the hotel
- Easy access to the N814 and N13 motorways
Why guests love itA no-frills stop that suits a family on a D-Day itinerary: the Caen Memorial is a four-minute drive and the landing beaches about twenty minutes away. Rooms are simple, with a flat-screen TV and an en suite bathroom, and the lift helps with pushchairs and luggage. Breakfast is a buffet each morning, and free parking makes early starts easy. Do not expect a pool or play area here; the value lies in the location.
