This was a brilliant place to stay. The hostess (coffee queen) could not be more helpful and worked hard to make the stay a pleasure. Location is great being in the old city - easy walking distance to nearly everything. I would enjoy returning.....

Room was clean but spartan. If you are only interested in a place to sleep it is great. We had the breakfast… slightly overpriced but very nice yogurt, coffee (hot chocolate) bread/ croissant with jam and delicious Normandie butter! Worth in in my book!

The toilet was dirty. We had to ask someone to clean the splatter behind the seat, which was visible when the lid was closed. They cleaned it promptly after we mentioned it, but some splatter remained. The toilet seat also slid around, making it uncomfortable to sit on.

Very romantic court yard where we had a nice lunch. Then we visited the famous Rouen Cathedral and a very good Art museum nearby. Great dinner at a restaurant Pascaline. After it we saw a free light show at 10 pm in front of the Cathedral. Highly recommended by us.

Room was not fancy, but bed was surprisingly comfortable. If driving there, ask for parking info ahead of time--driving in central Rouen is very complicated! lots of one-way streets, and easy to find yourself suddenly in a tunnel (which wasn't too bad, but could have been avoided).

It was hard to find by car as the street is pedestrianised and my email asking about parking was not answered. We eventually parked at the Palais du Justice which was very close. As we checked out we were given a free pass by the hotel receptionist, but hadn't been told about this in advance.
We were given the wrong room, which was tiny and dark, with a view of a wall. Unfortunately we didn't realise we'd booked for a superior room with a garden view until the evening, but all staff had left by then.

The breakfast was in the hotel restaurant and was ok, except I noticed the server handling all our meat and cheese, having just wiped tables and not washed their hands.

Ok for an overnight stay to see the city.

Great location but….

The photos were misleading. It looks charming but was quite rundown. Great location though.
Our stay was spoiled by the guests in the next room complaining to us for making too much noise - my partner was having a shower. We weren’t making any other noise. The wall must be very thin. There was a door joining these rooms, which was fortunately locked.

The hotel is a great historic building with lots of charm. The room had been renovated and was very clean. The owner was very welcoming and provided excellent suggestions for dinner. The breakfast was very good with fresh baguette from the boulagerie across the street as well as artisanal cheeses. I would not hesitate to stay there again.

What a gem of a property! It is so quaint, that you feel first thrown back in time and -after mastering the steep slanted stairs- bathed in colors. The rooms are excentrically decorated, adding to the overall charm of this medieval house. It is also a restaurant, serves a lovely breakfast in the morning and once you step out of the courtyard you are in the center of Rouen.
Walking is easy to domes and cathedrals, the horloge and historial Jeanne d'Arc.
Shopping, bars and restaurants all around.
Parking is in a nearby parking garage for €12.-

We had a wonderful stay. Room is clean and spacious although no air conditioning room stays semi cool if you sleep with your window open. Location is fantastic and most restaurants stay open until 10 or 11 pm. Hotel has breakfast for about $11 however we did not indulge but it looked good. Host are kind and allowed us to keep our bags there during the day after our check out. Hotel also offers a discounted price for the under ground parking which is convenient if you have a car.

No frills but the room was fine and the breakfast was good. The only problem was spotting the small hotel sign as it is in a small courtyard just off the street.

Good location in old Rouen

This small hotel is in a good location in the historic part of old Rouen. We had a top floor room with a ton of stairs to access it. It was a very small room. We enjoyed the breakfast each morning and the fee for the breakfast was reasonable. There is an underground parking garage a block or so away which the hotel gives you a discounted rate to use in case you have a car to visit sites out of town such as Giverny or the Jumieges Abbey ruins.

Comfortable and quaint!

I stayed here for one night and had an excellent reception, stay, and check out. I was very early arriving, but happily was allowed me to enter, leave my bags, and was given a list of touristy things to do until check in. Upon returning, I found that the room was very clean and comfortable. The building has a lot of charm and character, and is well placed in the old town center. I left too early to try the breakfast, but. Checkout was very straightforward.

Lovely!

Picturesque and charming. It was a treat to stay in a beautiful old exposed-timber building. We were on the 3rd floor and the stairs up were narrow and uneven so it was tricky with luggage but it was worth it. I asked the owner a question about a bottle of wine I had bought and he lit up and was happy to discuss the merits of Bordeaux vs Bourgogne.

A unique gem in historic Rouen

As soon as we saw the courtyard view photo we knew this was where we wanted to stay, we were not disappointed; the small, beautiful courtyard in old Rouen led to the entrance of this character full small hotel and Salon du Tee. Hotel guests and local diners were all made welcome by the friendly Patron and all the staff. The French style breakfast and lunch was delicious with high quality ingredients. So many hotels blur into one, but this will be remembered individually with pleasure for years to come.
