Hôtel La Fontaine  

We would strongly recommend a stay at the Hôtel La Fontaine. It is a hotel without pretensions, run by a couple who keep it spotlessly clean and go out of their way to be friendly and helpful. The location is ideal being in quite street in the centre of Caen. We travel a lot and in our opinion, the Hôtel La Fontaine offers the best value for money we have experienced in Europe in recent years.

Good location and good value for money.

Location was good, we explored a different side of Caen other than the old town. There is parking in the street, however underground parking is available which is secure/CCTV, overnight parking costs 3.20 euro. Breakfast was excellent for just 5 euro pp. I would recommend this Hotel and use it again when travelling this area.

Helpful staff, clean hotel, paid parking on the same street and underground parking in 3 minutes walk.

Noisy toilet separated from the room with weak fold doors. So, between the closed doors you can see your partner laying in the bed. Soft bed mattress very uncomfortable in case of back aches. Screaming colors in design. No elevator.

An inviting, well-run family hotel, beautifully clean, offering excellent value. The room was quite small, but had everything necessary for a stay of a few days. I would happily recommend it, and would stay there again.

The staff, the room and the location were just perfect, especially for this price.

The wi-fi wasn't working for us 80% of the time.

Very obliging staff. The location was excellent. Good value.

There is a young couple who have only owned the hotel for 4 months. They are very nice and helpful. We enjoyed our stay with them. It is not luxurious, but comfortable and in a good location for seeing the city.

The color scheme of the room was a bit much but hopefully in time they will redecorate. I would recommend this hotel.

The staff were very friendly and helped us solve many problems including making an appointment with a technician to fix our laptop computer. The position of the hotel was superb with shopping centres around the corner, the castle and cathedral a block away and numerous cafes and restaurants close by.

The staff is incredibly friendly, and very eager to help in any way they can. This hotel, while somewhat dated, is in a great location and is a tremendous value.

No air conditioning - only a big deal during the summer months.

The owner's were nice, very accommodating and helpful, it was like staying at home, and breakfast was good and affordable.

The bathroom had a leak making it a bit dingy

The location was very good - close to buses and lots of shopping and restaurants.

I felt that the bed was a little bit hard and wished that I had an extra pillow. I also wished that the people working at the hotel spoke English a bit better, but perhaps they don't have many English-speaking guests.

The staff were very friendly and helpful. Room size not too bad, bathroom a little small, but everything worked. Good choice for anyone on a budget. Very handy location.
