Top hotels in Caen City Centre

Campanile PRIME - Caen Centre Gare
"The family room was very small, but adequate. Clean and quiet for a quick overnight stay. Front desk staff were not welcoming or friendly AT ALL. There are probably better options in the area."

"Excellent property! Very clean and well furnished. Close to so many food options. Only issue we had was the gate to the parking lot wouldn’t open. It only happened twice and it was resolved quickly. We would definitely stay there again."
