The property is located about a 25 minute walk away from Caen city centre. The surrounding area is very quiet and safe with lots of delicious patisseries very close by ( highly recommend trying). The room has everything you need, is very comfortable, clean and air-conditioned.
The hotel has an area for workouts, with 3 pieces of aerobic equipment. This room is not like a normal gym, it is carpeted with chairs and tables in ( presumably for those waiting to use the spa?) with no ac ( that I found). But can easily do a workout in there.
The hotel has private parking.
The hotel offers a buffet breakfast, which has everything youd expect from a continental breakfast. The staff are all lovely and very welcoming. Highly recommend.

The room was amazing. Very comfortable and roomy. Staff was very good. Breakfast is highly recommended - it was a good selection and high quality. My only complaint is that the room had an amazing bathtub but on the two occasions that I tried to take a bath there was only enough hot water for about 4 inches of the bathtub. Pretty disappointing as I'm a real bath person.

We visited the WW1 and WW2 sites and cemeteries in Normandy area. Hotel was conveniently located to the areas we visited. The room was a decent size and well equipped. The hotel and facilities were very clean and well kept. The Michelin rated restaurant in the hotel was a wonderful dining experience. Don’t miss your chance to dine in an excellent environment. Book your reservation when you check in. I recommend “la selection de rapas en toute confiance”. An excellent 5 days in Caen.

Lovely hotel with a fantastic restaurant. Stayed one night. Had tasting menu lunch that was paired with different wines. We had an exceptional meal with great service at the table. Breakfast was also a delight. The night watchman even served us a calvados after we returned from the SM Caen match vs St-Etienne at midnight. Highly recommended.

Absolutely wonderful service
The standout part was the service - such friendly staff who are very accommodating. The room was large and well equipped and whilst the car park is small we managed to secure a space for all the days we were there. Bonus!: there’s also a cat!

From the moment we arrived the staff was outstanding. Friendly. Accommodating. I made an error in booking and they fixed it even though they didn’t have to. Parking is free and easy. The restaurant is incredible. The food, presentation and service were all next level. Next trip to Caen we will be staying here again. Thank you Ivan Vautier staff.

Go to dinner...it's worth every euro
When we first got there we checked in and then wanted to have a drink at the bar. At first it seemed like a one man show, and it took a while, but it worked out fine. The room was nice enough and clean...the shower in our room was different..the hose and shower head were closer to the bathtub faucet, and the easiest way to shower was to sit in the bathtub. Another funny thing is how tall the toilet was, but it was all nice and clean and workable. My favorite part of the stay was our dinner experience. The food is amazing and the wine pairing was perfect.

Ok... but things didn't work as they should
I am a bit disappointed. Not the service you would expect for $200 night. The bath tap was loose, the water was not hot enough so the tub was not usable unless you like a cold bath...
Coffee machine didn't work etc. finally due to covid restrictions and bad organization we could not even access the spa.
I told the staff when leaving and didn't even get an apology just ok I will tell maintenance

Great stay in Caen
We stopped here after a long day in Normandy. Relieved that there was parking. Walked in and got our room very quickly. Staff was super nice and spoke English. Room was very spacious, especially for European rooms. Bathroom was nice. I would stay here again.
