Hotel Carline  

It was surprisingly good value for the money. The room and bathroom were small but of adequate size, and clean. The bed was comfortable and the restaurant was excellent in value and quality. The breakfast was also very good value. There was a tram stop about 100 meters or so away, for an inexpensive run to the city centre. Free Wi-Fi and car parking was also very welcome. Using a gps, it was easy to find, just a short distance from a ring road.

I would have liked air conditioning, which would have enabled the closing of the window and removal of road noise from the nearby ring road- although the noise wasn't particularly loud.

tea facilities although not essential, very welcome

Difficult to find

The location is good to reach the city center (close to the tram) but especially nice to access Bayeux and the D-Day beaches.

The room we stayed at was extremely tired, with stained carpet on the floor and strange smell. Also it is extremely small.There was almost no hand-washing and bath soap/gel when we arrived at the room. The only reason to stay here is really the location like pointed above, and only recommended if one does not spend almost any time in the room. For 60 euros per night one would expect a bit more (two star hotel)... I would not give more than 30-40 euros for such place.

The staff were excellent, they spoke enough English to communicate with us which was great, they even taught us a little French! The room was very simple but all we needed for one night's stay. The free parking was a real plus. Breakfast was delicious.

It was about 4km our of the city, which isn't very far but means there is some time in travel to get into the city, there is an excellent tram system just across the road at the hospital.

Close to tram service to the city centre, ideally situated for my purpose with friendly and very helpful staff.

We enjoyed stay in Hotel Carline because it is comfy, not so far from the city and easily reachable (we had a car). The staff is cordial and friendly. They have a good policy regarding the respect of the environment. The breakfast is served in a big hall; we enjoyed that too!

You get what you paid for. Very nice hotel at the outskirts of the city of Caen. Very good hotel to stay if you have a car and you want to visit the coasts of Normandy. The restaurant of the hotel is closed in the weekend, but there is a very nice restaurant called 'Buffalo Grill' next door.

No complains.

Foyer was clean bright and functional and gave a good first impression, staff were helpful and friendly, good range of tourist information.

Rooms were cramped, basic and run down and smelt stale (old cigarette smoke??) and in urgent need of redecoration. Bathrooms were very tired with E.G. discoloured floor and wall coverings, but were prepared to a reasonable standard of cleanliness. We had two interconnecting rooms for a family of 5 - TV's had different channels available in each room with bbc world news only available in kids room. Tea/coffee making faciliteis were a small kettle, tiny plastic cup (positively dangerous with a hot drink in) and a tube of coffee, sugar and one tea bag each. Disappointing compared to other similar hotels we have stayed in.

Convenience of hotel and suitability of rooms, ie. an apartment with a twin room for kids and a double for parents.

Felt a little stark and 'unloved'

Great location for the ferry. Very close to tramway which offers cheap and easy access to caen centre. Nice restaurant .

The service. Welcoming attitude, ready to answer questions and help.

It was cheap and cheerful.

L accueil et l'excellente cuisine !
