Hotel Litteraire Gustave Flaubert, BW Signature Collection
"A literary escape"

msgolondoner, 24 Septembre 2026

If you have a love for literature, France's literary-themed hotels are an experience in themselves. ✨ This beautiful hotel in Rouen is entirely dedicated to Gustave Flaubert, and every detail has been thoughtfully designed around his life, work, and literary world. From the moment I arrived, I felt as though I had stepped into a different era. The decor, the atmosphere, and the carefully curated but humble details made the entire stay feel deeply personal and wonderfully immersive.

"Charming hotel in the centre of Rouen"

Markus M, 22 Septembre 2026

Wonderfully charming and romantic hotel just in the medieval city centre of Rouen. We had a room with balcony overviewing the rooftops of the city centre with a view of the cathedral. Breakfast was excellent and the romantic package was a beautiful little add-on.

"Unique and special hotel"

mardimarvel, 14 Septembre 2026

This was a fabulous one-night stay in Rouen. If you are at all interested in literature and books you will be charmed by this experience. The whole hotel is themed around Flaubert and his works, there are copies of original scripts and some early editions on display, as well as interesting information throughout, almost like staying in a themed museum. Even down to the music played at breakfast, which is a compilation of the author's favourite pieces! The location is absolutely superb, right in the middle of the ancient heart of the city. The room (superior double) was very clean and attractive, and even had a small balcony. The staff were attentive and very helpful and the breakfast was copious, varied and great quality. I have only one small suggestion, there were no tea making facilities in the room, only Nespresso "coffee" which we dislike. Being English we do like to have our tea first thing so a kettle would be welcome. Otherwise really fantastic and we hope to return!

"Great location"

michaeldK9943YV, 28 Août 2026

First trip to Rouen and this was a perfect location to stay. Steps from the Place du Vieux-Marche with restaurants and bars, but still quiet and serene. The room was comfortable, with good climate control. There are very limited choices for food or snacks in the hotel. You will need to visit the nearby marketplace if you want have anything. Most of the main sites are within walking distance, if you are comfortable with walking one Km.

"Convenient Location Close to the Station"

J P B, 24 Août 2026

The hotel is very conveniently located, less than a two-minute walk from the railway station. The room was small and quite dark, but adequate, with tea and coffee-making facilities and a comfortable bed. The view wasn't great, looking directly into an internal courtyard, and the shower room was also rather cramped. The lift is small and looks somewhat antiquated, although it did the job. Breakfast was very good, with a decent selection of hot and cold food and drinks. The breakfast area was also a good spot for a bit of people-watching. The staff were friendly and helpful, and most spoke good English. The restaurant had a fairly small menu, with some of the dishes perhaps more of an acquired taste. The surrounding area was quiet at night, despite the hotel's proximity to the railway station. Overall, a convenient and comfortable base, particularly if travelling by train.

"You will want to read "Madame Bovary" after staying here"

Fab4SF, 09 Juillet 2026

What a gem of a hotel. Tucked away in a quiet spot just steps from the bustling Place du Vieux-Marché. Staff was highly communicative and professional. Room was clean and as expected. The elements of Gustave Flaubert were charming and interesting. Breakfast buffet had a lot of selections including excellent fresh fruit, which we love. Parking is off-site but only a few minutes walk away and very affordable (15 euros/day) given the busy location. We would stay here again, the location and comfort cannot be beat.
