The hotel was comfortable, clean, quiet and an easy walk to the main Cathedral in the centre of Rouen. Rouen was a stopover from the west coast of France to Calais. It was a bit tricky navigating in and out of Rouen but a good number of parking spaces at the hotel once there. Overall well worth the extra effort to see Rouen. Beds were very comfortable, shower great, TV large, decent size, and all clean. No tea and coffee making. Breakfast was generally good with standard French buffet. Staff helpful and friendly. Only small downsides were that some of the car parking spaces were smaller due to trees. Also the room card keys needed quite a few goes to open the door. Overall a very enjoyable stay.

“Excellent for this type of hotel.”

I've given this a 4 rating - it's not a 4 star hotel, but is very good for its type. It's a Travel lodge type 'budget' hotel, with good standards. I stayed 4 nights on a Leger holiday. The staff were welcoming, friendly and helpful. The rooms are fairly basic, not very large, but serve their purpose for sleeping and showering in. The décor wasn't particularly to my liking, but it was clean and comfortable. As a solo I had a big double bed. Those that were sharing a twin bedded room did say that the single beds were very narrow. The shower is very good - others have mentioned the step into it, but I solved this by dropping down the shower mat onto the floor to step down on to. Didn't find the actual shower particularly slippery, but there are no grab rails. The air con worked well, very adjustable, plus you can open a window. Breakfast was very good - cereal and muesli, hot food (scrambled egg and bacon), fresh fruits, bread and rolls, a toaster, a small selection of cold meats and cheeses, yogurts, croissants, cakes etc, plus hot drinks and fresh fruit juice. All buffet style. There are no evening meals apart from pizza ordered at the bar. Didn't try these, but others said they were tasty. The hotel is situated about 3 minutes walk from the Seine - from there it is a nice walk of about 10/15 minutes along the river to the edge of the main town - at your entry point you are in the old sector and market place where there are lots of lovely restaurants, cafes and bars. Then about another 5 minutes walk to the centre. Outside of the main entrance has been pedestrianised, so can't be used for drop offs. If you're on a coach it has to park about 100 yards away and you have to carry your cases, though our drivers offered to help anyone who might struggle. All in all, a very pleasant stay.

“Clean and comfortable, within easy reach of the river Seine and Rouen centre”

Staff were extremely helpful and informative, nothing was too much trouble. The hotel I would say is of an average travel lodge style. The beds and pillows were comfortable with an open hanging/shelf area in corner of the room but, unfortunately, there was no drawer space. The towels were changed and the room cleaned on a daily basis but before this took place, the bathroom tended to be a little smelly. There was a seating area for breakfast and light snacks situated near the reception area . The establishment was sited near the university/student accommodation and within easy reach of the river Seine where a multitude of restaurants could be found. It took a good half hour to walk into the city from the hotel with several historic areas of interest. It seems to be in need of little updating and would recommend for short stays.
