Appart'City Classic Caen

The location, just outside of the city centre couldn't be much better. It's located about 100 meters from the ring road making it ideal for getting to the Normandy sites. About a 15 minute walk from the town centre and 10 minutes walk to the large supermarket. The staff were friendly and helpful. We asked if the bedside light bulbs could be changed for less powerful ones and they were. The soap dispenser was effectively empty and was replaced. The room was clean and comfortable. The socket under the desk was accessible for laptop and other sockets could be used for phone etc. Equipment was just about adequate. For example there were no tall glasses. only wine glasses and very small tumblers. The wasn't a bottle opener or cork screw, fortunately we have one in the car. The only spoons were coffee spoons. The room was also in need of refurbishment. pictures missing from the walls and fittings in the bathroom were loose. There were no instructions for the microwave. Also the automatic light on the ground floor corridor is almost halfway down the corridor, about 10 meters from the fire door. Why not fit it by the door way?. There is a garden available at the rear. Having said all of that, it was probably the quietest accommodation we have ever stayed in. Would we stay there again - yes.

My son booked 2 rooms 1 superior room and 1 double. Arrived could not get in. Finally someone opened the door, then we found envelopes with keys left on the side. Not a great start. Went up to the room and the room next to us had at least 12 people in shouting and screaming, however onwards in to the room. The smell as we entered was of urine, it stunk, the toilet was leaking, the balcony was disgusting and also stunk of urine. The arguing next door was getting worse, I opened the door and there was 2 men fighting, it was now feeling very unsafe we decided to just leave. It actually looked like a immigration centre , there were cars in the car park with various men in who were clearly selling stuff by the amount of people coming out of the immigration centre to go to them. Not a safe feeling for my family. The photos on the internet have clearly been photo shopped as they don’t give a true reflection of the actual rooms. Would not recommend to my worst enemy. Booked another hotel in Caen the Ibis at an extra cost of £350.00 but what the hell, at least we was safe
