ibis budget Caen Centre Gare 2 stars

Hotel was basic but o.k. for my needs (overnight stay after ferry from UK before going on to Paris). The entrance , next to a bar, was a bit off-putting with a group of loutish lads hanging around the doorway - some security measures by the management might help.

OK but there was much evidence of people having smoked cigarettes in the building which made my room smell.

Despite the rather unlovely neighborhood and broken entry door, this hotel provided everything I needed on a dark, rainy night. It was a refuge from a tiring drive out of heavy Paris traffic. The personnel were friendly and welcoming, setting me at ease for a restorative night’s sleep.

Friendly, helpful reception. Comfortable room, very convenient location. Tea/coffee making facilities in the room would be nice. Had to run off a huge amount of cold water in the shower before it became hot - I suppose I was the first person in the hotel up.

Group of men loitering around the front door and walking back and forth in front of us as we tried to enter and exit made me nervous. Front desk insisted we pay both nights in advance, and this was not our experience in Rennes. Staff not very friendly. Parking was a issue.

My sojourn at the hotel was calm, peaceful and enjoyable but with only one major issue that the hotel management need to immediately address to ensure that guests are not put-off rebooking or cancelling their vacations. Both sides of the main hotel entrance are book-ended by food-establishments that are open substantially long hours selling non-French foods with a substantial amount of youths hanging around trying to pass time. To elderly people like me that type of behavior, albeit peaceful, is alarming and off-putting. there is also an aging wooden ramp that is, in my view, getting dangerous and should be immediately replaced to ensure no accidents. when the window was partially open in the room then ALL the street noises could be heard at all hours. But when closed it was quiet. THE ACTUAL LOCATION OF THE HOTEL IS GREAT FOR SEEING ALL AROUND CAEN AND going to the beaches with the relevant bus stops almost directly outside the main door. Would like to stay there again when I return in the Spring but I will not because of the main door cluster.

seedy area. did not feel safe

Good location, helpful staff.

Sorry the hotel was full of students, which made it noisy, loud music, doors slamming so won't go there again

Wonderful location with public transport in immediate vicinity, friendly stuffs, nice atmosphere and room... overall delighted experience.

Suitable option for spending the night in Caen. The hotel is within walking distance of the station. Friendly staff. Service, the rooms in the breakfast are traditional for ibis Budget. The hotel is suitable for transit travelers and those who need to stay in the city for several days.

Adequate Ibis Budget but spoilt by people hanging around outside hotel who should not be there. Same inside one night very noisy group inside with cigarette end on the floor. Hotel needs to be in a better art of town really

Hello We arrived late and seriously I did not think any hotel in the accor hotel group would be so low standard Just thought it would be basic but not feel unsafe I am sorry to have had this experience and seriously hope all the money will be refunded on my card as I left the hotel and moved to another accor hotel in same city at 11 pm in the evening

Located in an extremely loud neighbourhood, lots of people out on the street well into the wee hours of the morning. It did cause some so concern for vehicle security as well. Staff were friendly, rooms clean.
