Hotel Dandy Rouen Centre

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.

Lovely little hotel on mostly-pedestrian street Rue Cauchoise. The staff speaks English & very gracious! They have 3 parking spaces in a parking structure right around the corner from the hotel (be sure to reserve in advance!) comfortable room and bed. Breakfast is offered for 12€, but we had places to go and sights to see so we passed. But I would def stay again, highly recommend!

It is a small hotel, which feels like an old French house. The decor isn’t modern but it has lots of character. The room was spotless, the staff were incredibly friendly and helpful and the breakfast was lovely. The only issue for some is that the front of the hotel is opposite a popular bar, so for light sleepers it is noisy. But, they have rooms on the 5th floor (up an extra flight of stairs) which are more peaceful. Mine was a small double but with wooden beams, it was lovely.

I wound up booking here because I couldn't get two consecutive nights in other hotels I checked. I figured this was a chance for me to save some money and make up for overspending on other parts of my trip. The hotel was relatively close to the train station (10-minute walk) and to the Musee de Beaux Arts, the cathedrals, and other Old Town sights. There are lots of bars and restaurants nearby. HOWEVER, the hotel was a big disappointment. It was dark and kind of creepy because I never saw another guest. There is no one at the front desk most of the time, so you need to let yourself in and out. In the pictures, the place looks adorable, but I found it depressing. The antiques looked more like items you'd find at a garage sale, and the bathroom was in serious need of an upgrade. Aside from the sink and shower faucets, it looked like it hadn't been touched since the late 50s. The tile and fixtures were all pink and gray, and the toilet seat didn't match the toilet. Even with the lights on, the bathroom was dark. There is no air conditioning or fan; kept the window open because the room was so stuffy. The highlight of the second night was seeing two mice running across the floor and then disappearing under the heater. I complained about this when checking out, but I wasn't offered any compensation other than a free continental breakfast, which I didn't have time for and, with the mice in mind, wouldn't have eaten anyway. Would never stay here again and don't recommend it.
