    The wifi wasn't working, we have asked staff about about it a couple of times but they couldn't care less. They also haven't explained us properly how discount ticket to the parking should work, had to return and ask them as we couldn't leave the garage. Might be a language barrier thing as we didn't speak French.

    The hotel is located in the old city center, in a walkable distance to all main attractions. The amenities were a bit outdated, but everything was clean. We could enjoy the view to the beautiful building of Rouen Court from our room. There's also a possibility to park your car in the underground parking close to the hotel with a discount from the hotel.

    Hotel is in the city centre, perfectly situated for seeing all the nice places. The room wasn't too big, but the view to Palais de Justice was very beautiful. The hotel itself is in an old Normandy style building. Parking system with Parking Palais de Justice was a good addition to hotel's service and worked fine.

    Only thing to keep in mind that it's an old building with steep stairs, no lift and its a challenge if you have heavy luggage. Also, very good acoustics. You can hear the neighbors.

    great location with a magestic view on the Justice Palace, very easy to access from the train station, you wake up in the morning from the bells of the Rouen Cathedral (personally, favorite way to wake up), the staff was accomodating, even though our arrival and departure time was out of the working hours, it was very well explained how to access the property. Surrounded by lovely cafes, shopping center, and historic sights, its everything you need. The room is clean even though understandably old, heating works well if you need to feel cosy inside after a winter walk.

    A little more space in the room. Forget the bath and put in a proper shower.

    Fabulous location to explore Rouen from. We had a view of the Palace of Justice. Room was small but just about manageable but good value for it's location. We didn't spend any time in it and we had a reasonable night's sleep but that was due to the road cleaners starting very early! Late check out time which is helpful and a deal on parking close by. We didn't have breakfast there as prefer to explore our options. Common parts are very tired and need a freshen up as did the bathroom. Suited us for the night though.

    As made clear on booking, there is no lift, and the steep and narrow staircase - 78 steps to the fourth floor in our case - could make it a real challenge for anyone with heavy luggage. Small room and rather pokey bathroom, with a small bath and just a handheld shower.

    Very central location, overlooking the Palais de Justice, but quiet. Straightforward self-entry arrangements. Quite adequate for a one night stay

    This hotel was perfect for us and Rouen was magical with so many excellent and unusual museums.

    There was no wall outlet within reach of the hot water pitcher on the table with the coffee supplies. I ended up plugging it into an outlet in the headboard and put the unit on a chair beside the bed. Just be aware that the stairs to the rooms would not work for you if you have mobility issues.

    Our room looked out over the Palais de Justice which was like something out of a fairytale. The large windows allowed a wonderful cross breeze along with the incredible view. The bed was the most comfortable I have slept in in a very long time and the long bath tub was perfect to soak in after a long day of site-seeing. The location is truly central to everything one would want to see. The lunch we ate at the restaurant below the hotel was the most delicious we have enjoyed during our visit to France. The continental breakfast was definitely a good value and they serve the most flavorful baguettes we have tasted during our stay in France- including one month in Paris. I highly recommend "Les Initie's Hotel".

    Beware if you have poor mobility then this place is not for you as we were up 4 sets of stairs (78 steps) the rooms below are up 2 sets of stairs also. Not a real problem to us but could be to others. Bathroom could do with a revamp and a tidy up

    The location in the heart of the city centre was amazing and was a good base to explore all of the sites, which were only a few hundred meters away in every direction. The staff were friendly and attentive and the discounted city centre car park was only a couple of minutes walk away. The views of the palais de justice from our bedroom window were amazing.
