The property is in an excellent position in central Rouen. It is a budget option with the rooms, particularly the bathrooms, showing their age. However the linens were clean and the bathroom was very clean and shower worked well. The breakfast buffet was very good. Downside was the lack of aircon in a 30c heat. Staff lovely.

Great location & service

Location, staff, & service are great. Lights turn off after 8 pm in the reception area. I felt unsafe walking in late at night to a dark hotel. It’s pitch dark in the hallway (4th) until a motion detector lights up.
Room itself was roomy & comfortable. Staff was nice when I asked for a replacement of the stained pillowcase. I didn’t realize the towel also had stains. I’m glad I brought my own towel.

The location of the hotel was perfect and close to all the monuments. It’s was a maximum 10 minute walk to any place. However the hotel needs a renovation. The bathrooms are dated and worn out. In mine the shower head was calcified and water was everywhere. If not for the location and staff the stay would have been less pleasant.

Rouen illuminated cathedral light show ROCKS!

Hotel Bonaparte is in the heart of the actio in Rouen, walking distance to the cathedral light show, shops, cafes, cathedrals. The room was a typical French hotel room, but I must say - the most comfortable hotel pillows I encountered on my trip. Don't really understand how may hotels just don't get that it doesn't cost that much for a COMFORTABLE pillow (most are hard, thin, horrendously cheap lumpy abominations), but the Hotel Bonaparte had very soft, plump, comfie ones. Rouen is really cool, it was my favorite French city on our visit - DO NOT MISS the 11pm illuminated cathedral light show - we are artists and we found it AMAZING. Some artists made a few artistic projection films that fits the cathedral and it's WAY cool. Good little shopping street, cafes, some cool antique architecture and the Musee des Beaux Arts was FREE and FABULOUS. Don't miss having a snack or lunch in the BEAUTIFUL courtyard of the museum, surrounded by gorgeous statuary and two huge beautiful paintings. But BEWARE - driving in the central area of Rouen is AWFUL - one way streets, bus-only and bike-only lanes, it was a NIGHTMARE driving our rental car there. Must be a university there also because the local bars were packed with heavily drinking students. But overall, I highly recommend a visit to Rouen, if for the cathedral light show and Musee de Beaux Arts alone, but many positive attributes other than driving in the city center.

An affordable, conveniently located, clean and comfortable hotel. Parking was a bit more complicated than it needed to be.

Funky hotel with character

The new owners and staff are wonderfully helpful. For that reason alone, it would be a good hotel to return to.
The lobby tells the \"funky\" story, with paraphernalia relating to Napoleon Bonaparte, including a tricorne hat, a small statue of Bonaparte, paintings, etc, etc.
The rooms are typically small, the linens clean, but there is an \"old\" smell in the corridors and in the rooms, and you can sense the damp.
The whole place needs some renovation, but then the price will augment as well. We felt very safe here and central. It is close to the Cathedral, the Mairie (city hall), within walking distance of the major Art Museum, the antiques district and the old city.
When we changed plans and left early, they helped us find new hotel accommodations. Their underground parking is difficult to negotiate, and the owner was always willing to bring out the car for us.
For a budget hotel, it's quite acceptable.

Excellent location, Friendly Staff, Great Price

We stayed at a variety of hotels in our 2 weeks trip across France. Hotel Bonaparte was one of the most charming. The staff were very friendly and chatty. Rooms were clean and well appointed. The best thing about this hotel is the location however. It is stone throw away from L'Hotel de Ville and few minutes walk from museums, cathedral and Gros Horloge. Few things to watch out for would be, 1. Reception closes at 8PM and the hotel-secure parking is a steep descent from street level and getting back up can be tricky. Room size is average-small but clean and well appointed.

Not the best experience...

The staff was really nice and the hotel is in a great central area. However, the rooms are gross. The shower was broken and you had to hold the shower head because it wouldn't stick to the wall (the piece had fallen off). The bed was gross looking and I wore shoes in the floor the whole time. When the maid cleaned my room she forgot to replace the washcloth and the hand towel so I only had a bath towel (luckily I had only used one of the two I was given). Don't count on using their shampoo. There was also some weirdo religious ceremony going on which was extremely loud. The curtain is thin and also gross looking, and does not trap the light out. There is a metal security (I guess) window shade but that creaped me out too much to use. The wall paper is pealing and you can hear movement in the hallway really easily. Overall, it has a lot of potential in the area, but the whole place needs to be renovated and new furniture for all the rooms. Maybe thicken the walls a bit too. August might be a good time to work on it since all the stores in the town literally shut down. Don't bet on going to every restaurant you pick out... odds are half are closed.

Ok European hotel in a nice location

The hotel was not \"polished\" by any means but it was clean, in a convenient location, and had all that I needed. The staff spoke English enough to have a basic check-in conversation wiithout any problems. I didn't have the breakfast so can't comment on that but overall I was satisfied for the hotel at the price that I paid.

Convenient, if a bit dank

Convenience is a strength, as the hotel is about a half mile from the train station, and within walking distance of Rouen's major attractions. It's definately not the newest of facilities, however, and smells more than a little musty. Breakfast was worth the price. The tiny little pillows might annoy picky travelers. Overall, we were OK with it.

Good price for reasonable quality in great location

This inexpensive, no frills (breakfast is available) hotel is fairly comfortable and in a location very convenient to the old part of Rouen and its walking streets, lovely old half-timbered buildings, cathedral, shops, etc. Wireless Internet is free and worked well. The rooms are small, but not tiny, unlike most such hotels in Paris. The decore and facilities are dates and worn, but largely not in disrepair or dirty. The bed was small (we had twin beds), but reasonably comfortable. Several of the reception staff did not speak English, but tried to be helpful anyway. Others spoke good English and were very helpful.

Great city; not a great hotel

Hotel is conveniently located for the Rive Droit station and the sights. But the room was dingy and needs new walpaper and carpet. Wash basin had no plug. Tea and coffee are not available in the room. Breakfast is available at a price and is adequate, but it would be cheaper to eat at McDonalds. The window has a metal shutter instead of curtains which is awkward to operate and does not keep out the light. There was a strong smell of cleaning fluid in the corridor.

Perfect base to explore Rouen

A more than adequate and very good value city-centre hotel - perfect for exploring Rouen. The rooms are big by French standards and all the facilities more than adequate. Lift to all floors and wheelchair-accessible rooms available.
Underground parking is small and tight - an easier option is the City Hall (Hotel de Ville) car park about 300m away.
Lynda and Yasser were really helpful and friendly hosts.
This is a city-centre hotel without air conditioning, so don't be surprised if you need to keep the windows open at night in the summer - which means there will be street noise.

Quick walk from Train Station

I liked my room, amazingly powerful shower and hot water. Also room was quiet and roomie (but small bed) over all it was great. Staff were efficient and helpful.

Take note, if you leave the Hotel and head right from the front door, you can find a great neighbourhood where pubs, bakeries and restaurants are not touristy and prices are very low but quality high. For a 4 block walk away from the tourists the meals were superb and the locals fun. get off the path - for cheap eats.

Good location, mediocre rooms

If you are looking for a relatively inexpensive hotel to use as a starting point for your trip to Rouen, you should consider this hotel. The location is probably the best aspect of the hotel. It is very close to the main pedestrian only part of the city. The public spaces of the hotel looked recently renovated, but the rooms were a bit of a disappoinment. Overall, this is what I expected from a 2 star hotel.

Bonne situation. Petit-déjeuner buffet fort satisfaisant. Propreté irréprochable.
La réception n’est ouverte qu’à certains moments; il faut donc faire appel à quelqu’un via un interphone. Objectivement, l’employée asiatique qui m’a reçu a bien fait son travail en m’accueillant très aimablement. Je pouvais même laisser ma valise en consigne, mais j’ai préféré la trimbaler. Il paraîtrait que cet allégement extrême de la présence en réception soit dû au fameux virus, qui a décidément bon dos.
