Wonderful location with views of the cathedral. Insufficient desk coverage - most of the time no one staffed the front desk. If needing help guests had to call staff. Only bath towels were available. There was no hair dryer available. Did not purchase breakfast. Would not recommend this to friends and would not stay again if we visited Rouen.

Great balcony corner views from our Room #10. The Christmas market had started the day we arrived and it snowed that night (in late November). Complete with the imposing sight of the Notre Dame Cathedral, it was a near perfect stay in Rouen.

Great location, in the old town right next to bars, cafes, and the beach. A little noisy, since right under a restaurant/bar. But it was worth it to be so close to everything.
