A good hotel in a busy and easy access area. Quite a noisy road but still a good place to stay. Comfortable bed and very good shower. A basic breakfast but still good

No air conditioning. Convenient location across from Caen station, but lots of loitering and noise. No staff on site after 11pm, which really makes you wonder about safety and support. Not ideal if you’re looking for a comfortable or reassuring stay.

The room was very clean but the breakfast was terrible. There was nothing out when we went down. 3 croissants. No bread. We had to ask for it. No apple juice. It was empty. He had to get a new one. No milk. Had to ask. No butter. A fridge was there so you had to look inside for it. We had to pay 10 euros each. We would like to have this reimbursed. Most disappointing as the French was always known for their breakfast.

We purchased the daily breakfast plan that was served from 7 am till 9:00 am. Our guide for Normandy picked us up at 9:00am, usually the same time they finally woke up to open. Once open they put out a few pieces of bread and cereal. However they didn’t have any milk for the cereal. I figured it was an 80 dollar waste of money to pay for the breakfast. The part that is not the Hotels fault is that there is a gambling hall next door. That gambling hall attracted most of the new migrants from other countries which were not the best representation of Caen. The sights and city were wonderful, I would just stay elsewhere.

The room was fine, newly renovated, clean, but the rest if the place needs a good cleaning. The attendant was efficient and welcoming.
The neighborhood residents hung out, talking very loud most of the night. When we finally got to sleep, we were awakened by an ambulance attending to an OD below our window.
We selected this place because it appeared decent in the pictures, it was close to the car rental and we had an early morning train. Given the ease of the public transportation, my suggestion is to look elsewhere.

Convenient location to the Caen rental car offices

If it's convenience to the train station and rental car offices you need, this could be the right place for you. It was easy to find and just a few doors down to all of the major car rental offices. It is practical and good for a one night stay. You can add a breakfast for a reasonable fee. The check-in host was fluent in both French and English.

The hotel itself was clean and \"satisfactory\", but the area was not one I would want to be out in at night. I know it's near the train station, but it felt especially unsafe. The clerk running the front desk seemed \"out of it\". We asked for a fan, which he was happy to bring up to the room, but he LET HIMSELF IN to deliver it. As two women staying in the hotel alone, it felt VERY unsafe.

Clean and comfortable hotel in Caen!

Stayed two nights at Hotel Mary’s. The staff were very helpful and willing to call taxis etc.
Although I travelled alone I booked a double room. It was quite small for two people, but fine for me. The room had good facilities with everything you could need. The bed was very comfortable and I slept very well on both nights.
Everything was extremely clean, especially the bathroom! Fantastic shower, powerful and hot!
I would recommend this hotel to anyone who needs a reasonably priced hotel in Caen!

- Quiet and peaceful
- Fluent English and French spoken

This is an old-school, traditional French hotel, clean, friendly, with no elevator, AC, or bell hop.

Stayed during a record breaking heat wave and it was comfortable. Ask Mary for the local map and have her mark the train tracks and hotel.

The most unique quality of this hotel has to be the service and sincere effort provided by the owner. She is without question the most efficient, knowledgeable and helpful hotel receptionist we have met in our many travels.

There is nothing of importance to be critical of. The only thing we can think of would be a small \"stick-on\" or suction shelf yo hold toiletries while showering.
