Enjoyed my stay in Caen: what a wonderful place to visit. And the Campanile Caen Centre - Gare hotel was a great place to stay. Although the room was small it was clean and comfortable, and the bathroom was lovely, recently renovated it seemed, with a generously sized shower. The staff were extremely helpful, and the hotel was an easy walk from the railway station and the centre of town.

I don’t understand why this hotel has such good reviews. It’s very basic and overpriced. We chose it for parking but the car park was full so we had to pay to park in the multi story car park nearby. The hotel smelt of drains and both my kids felt very uneasy there. The room itself was clean and the beds were fine.

Caen, Center of Many Sights
A very convenient location to explore Caen and Lower Normandy. We made several day trips out from St. Michel in the west to the D-Day beaches. Caen has a lot to offer from William the Conqueror's tomb to wonderful restaurants.

Delightful hotel, walking distance from train station. Room was small, but spotless, well-planned, and with very comfortable beds and linens. Able to walk to nearby Sunday market, boulangerie next door. Breakfast was an excellent buffet. Would stay again…

Great location close to the train station and city transportation systems. Lot of restaurants and shopping nearby. The hotel staff were helpful and the breakfast was excellent. The room is very small and the wifi was not reliable.

First day no soaps in bathroom, had to tell reception which was sorted.Second and Third day water and coffee pods not replaced in room.On our last morning not enough staff to keep breakfast running smoothly.
They run out of hot food took a long time to replace,then no toast or croissants and again took long time to replace, but did find water and coffee in our room when we returned from a day trip.
So while clean comfortable and quiet fell short on room service and kitchen staff.
