Hotel Dandy Rouen Centre

Charming hotel, in the middle of Rouen, where we stayed for one night on our way to Cherbourg. Friendly staff at the reception, a code to open the front door after nine o’clock, and free parking below the hotel. You do need to make reservations for the car park as there are only a few spots available. The hotel is situated in a no-car area though, so we needed a card to enter the area, a bit of a hassle but we could take out our luggage in front of the hotel. Nice rooms, small but clean; breakfast sufficient.

The best thing about this hotel is the lovely lady on reception who couldn't do enough to welcome us and talk to us about what to do on our quick stop off on route to Calais.Recommend the superior room , pretty decor, lovely view of old timber buildings, just needs new bathroom suite but was clean enough .The welcome from this little hotel made us overlook ,Thank u so much for your hospitality 🙂

We chose this hotel for price and location. Arrived by cab but were getting a car. Parking in nearby underground garage for reasonable price (11 Euros for 24 hours). We knew about parking arrangements before arriving. Hotel is clean, well furnished. Our bed was very comfy. Bathroom slightly dated but everything functioned just fine. Our room faced the front - a pedestrian friendly street with half timbered buildings, very convenient to Vieux Marche, restaurants, and sights. I initially thought the rooms might be noisy but we never heard a sound at night so either nearby guests were very quiet or the soundproofing was better than I thought. The rooms don't have individual heat control. A very small soap bar was provided at the sink, bath gel for the shower. Water was hot enough, water pressure fair. There was a hair dryer. There is an annex with additional rooms. We didn't see them. Breakfast was 13 Euros and was OK, canned fruit cup, cold hard boiled eggs, pastry, croissants, breads, yogurt. It's served in a lovely dining room behind reception. The elevator is very tiny - one suitcase at a time fits, but at least you don't have to carry them up the stairs. Vincent, the manager, there most evenings, was very pleasant. He was very helpful with restaurant suggestions, directions, etc. The day reception man was not so pleasant, never a smile or greeting, not too helpful. I was disappointed to see that there was a 1 Euro 50 charge for using the in room coffee machine. When I asked for milk to go with the coffee from this machine, I was told "no". Would I stay here again - absolutely. The quirky little problems were worth the great location and good night's sleep.

I can recommend this little hotel for a good value break in Rouen. It's in a pedestrianised area and sooooo close to the ancient market square and Joan of Arc church. Literally five minutes walk and with a number of very nice restaurants in walking distance. We had a room on the fourth floor all done out prettily in blue Toile De Jour. There's a small lift up there and the room was clean and nicely furnished with an adequate, if small, en suite. Breakfast was a welcome change from the usual cheap French hotel servings. Here we had a choice of healthy wholemeal bread as well as the usual baguette and pastries, healthy muesli instead of just cheap sugary cereals, low sugar jams (unheard of usually), homemade yoghurt and a good selection of cheese and meats. You have to pay extra for the breakfast but we found it well worth it and set us up for the day. The owner was very accommodating, putting a few niggles right as soon as he could even though he was short staffed. We were also able to park our car in the secure underground car park next to the hotel for only 13 euros a day. Good value. Also free Wifi was available in the lobby. Only small downside was that our room overlooked the back of the hotel meaning there was a certain amount of noise from the busy main road that runs there.

Hotel Le Dandy is a lovely building in the pedestrian area of Rouen. It has on site parking available for a small extra charge which is well worth it as it is underground and secure. The owner is a very helpful chap who assisted us through the confusing access, only a temporary arrangement due to roadworks. The rooms are a reasonable size and very clean. The bathrooms are again reasonable and clean. Hotel Dandy's best feature however is it's location right in the heart of the old town.

An elegant little hotel. Very convenient and central location. There is parking 5 minutes walk away at Vieux-Marché. Nicely decorated and furnished. Surpassed expectations. Good value. Breakfast excellent with good quality fresh cheeses. We were on the 2nd floor and you can hear the busy bar opposite but it closes before midnight and I can not complain as I was in it one night. If I return to Rouen I would stay here.
