Hotels in Caen: what our guests say

Le Carline, Sure Hotel Collection by Best Western
"Great Small Hotel Excellent Dinner and Breakfast"

Freelander56, 28 Septembre 2026

Great small hotel on the outskirts of the town but only a few minutes walk to the tram. Free parking with 4 EV chargers available. It is located near the University and student accommodation and a very large hospital. It was busy during our 1 night stay but there was no problem getting a table in the restaurant for dinner. We both enjoyed a very good 3 course meal for a reasonable price. There was a chilled buffet selection for the starter and pudding, no restriction on how many times you visited it. The house wine was so good we had a couple of refills. Breakfast was a very good selection and they actually had decent de-caff coffee served in a cafetiere. We would happily stay here again, if you are visiting the Caen WWII Museum it is only a 10 minute drive away.

"Perfect"

Marion K, 16 Août 2026

Super comfortable hotel room, not huge, but with a lovely view over the square in front. The receptionist Daphne was perfect, so friendly and helpful and made us feel so welcome. Location is ideal in the centre, and parking is right there. Would love to say again.

"Enjoying watching French life go by"

sandraian2016, 10 Août 2026

Great rooms looking out into the square where you can watch and listen to the hubbub of French life going by. Excellent breakfast with the key foods and well presented. Very helpful hotel staff and a neighbouring restaurant on the ground floor provides good food; and with seats in the square it's very handy for a casual drink in a lovely setting.

"Highly recommend this hotel in beautiful Caen when visiting Normandie"

seanzik, 26 Juillet 2026

Our family of five truly appreciated our stay at the Best Western Royal Caen Centre. The location was great, in close proximity to shopping and amenities, wonderful restaurants and neighborhoods with charm, and historical sites (notably the castle). The rooms are clean, comfortable, and perfect size. The staff at reception work very hard to ensure all goes smoothly. We were lucky that our rooms overlooked the Place de la République and loved the balcony. Air conditioning worked great despite that our stay was during a heat wave. Breakfast options The property is also well located for side trips to Normandie, close access to major arteries. In addition, the location felt very safe.

"Expensive vs facilities"

EmmanuelB75008, 26 Juillet 2026

Last minute booking to stay in Caen. Very old hotel, we book the most expensive room for the view, we had the view but the room was not the view we had on booking. Hotel is very old, but bed ok, clim was not great. We had diner at the other Best Western, restaurant Le Royale, the food is very good and the service super nice.

Best Western Royal Hotel Caen
"Friendly staff great location"

Howrenrob, 27 Juin 2026

Perfect location. Great staff and very accomodating. Has A/C but capped at 21.5 celcius aka 70+ F. I asked and they did have one fan they could loan me to help. Breakfast had variety (need to let them know night before if you are eating and when so they can accomodate and record charge). Very friendly staff.

"Don't stress, book it now!"

crookster123, 19 Juin 2026

Perfect location, interactive and attentive receptionist. Clean, big rooms and a super-large bed. I'm so glad I booked this hotel. Our room on the 1st floor overlooked the square and we had no issue with noise at all; there was also A/C in the rooms. Book with confidence "Top Notch"
