Great balcony corner views from our Room #10. The Christmas market had started the day we arrived and it snowed that night (in late November). Complete with the imposing sight of the Notre Dame Cathedral, it was a near perfect stay in Rouen.

The hotel is in an ideal location right next to the cathedral. However, the rooms smell like mildew. I think the bathroom drains need to be cleaned. The sheets also smelled like mildew so perhaps the washing machine needs to be cleaned.

Great location, in the old town right next to bars, cafes, and the beach. A little noisy, since right under a restaurant/bar. But it was worth it to be so close to everything.

Location on Cathedral Doorstep

Very nice service, easy autonomous check-in, lovely staff. Quiet, staid and traditional feel which appeals to an older / veteran traveller, this place ticked all the boxes. Bring earplugs if you're coming for more than 1 night- the show on the Cathedral starts at 11 and it is loud. It was very nice staying here, Rouen has so much to see

Beautiful hotel, great breakfast, quiet at night, located right in front of the Cathedral and next to all points of interest and restaurants, very convenient! The only issue that we had was with the internet which at the moment of our stay the property had problems with the signal, further than that our stay was a great one!!!
