About this stay
Positioned a fourteen-minute walk from the Memorial of Caen, this hotel suits travellers whose stay centres on the twentieth-century history museum rather than the medieval castle district further into town, and it sits just six hundred metres from the Chamber of Commerce and Industry. Rooms are fitted with a desk, a flat-screen TV, air conditioning and a wardrobe, with a private bathroom in every room. The buffet breakfast is available each morning before setting out, and reception staff speak French, Spanish and English around the clock, useful for international travellers arriving outside standard hours. Free private parking removes one of the main frictions of a Memorial-focused visit, since the site itself sits some way from the historic centre.

Our take
I would pick this hotel for a stay built around the Memorial of Caen, a 14-minute walk away, rather than the castle and old town further in. Free private parking is the main practical advantage, the reception is open 24 hours with French, English and Spanish spoken, and rooms are air-conditioned with a desk. The Chamber of Commerce is 600 metres away for business visitors. An 8.1 from more than 1,300 reviews is a fair score.
- ✓Use the free private parking if you are driving to the Memorial rather than relying on city-centre transport.
- ✓Ask reception in French, Spanish or English, staff cover all three around the clock.
- ✓Budget a taxi or a short drive into the historic centre if the castle is also on your list.

Free private parking saves a daily search, the reception works around the clock in French, English and Spanish, and a buffet breakfast is served each morning.
