Inspiration by Balladins Caen Mémorial Reviews

Well located hotel, in a very quiet area. The room was very clean, comfortable bed and the shower very functional. We loved spending the night there. If we pass through again we will definitely come back. The only small problem is that access to the room is at 2 p.m. which is a little inconvenient when you arrive very early in the morning. Other than that I have nothing to complain about it, it was simply perfect! If you are looking for a place to stay for a business trip or simply a short weekend, this is the establishment you need in the Caen area.

The photo of booking a triple room shows three beds. When we checked in, we were only given a double bed and a sofa bed. The hotel said they did not have a three-bed room and there was no room like the one in the photo. I felt a bit cheated because I only stayed in one room. Forget it later

Quiet hotel, spacious and comfortable room. A very nice hotel with ample parking. Possibility to take your meal at the restaurant which is located in the car park or also at the Apron when leaving the hotel on the left and first on the right.

Everything was very good in the hotel. The staff was very helpful. The room was very quiet. The hotel was quiet.

Everything was perfect, very friendly reception staff.

We love this hotel but the windows of the rooms at the back are overlooked by buildings opposite so we have to keep the curtains drawn. Normally we ask for the rooms overlooking the parking but those rooms were taken this time. I suggested to the reception that some nets at the windows would be a good idea.

Very comfortable, quiet, convenient for all facilities; Love being able to get tea and coffee when we want.

Worst hotel experience ever! The room was very dusty and dirty as though no one had stayed in the room for years. Spiders and spider webs at several spots in the room, and I’ve never seen such dirty carpet in a hotel room before. We also had to live with a huge fly in the room for the 2 days. The lime scale on the shower head was terribly yucky although the bathroom and toilet itself was the cleanest spot in the entire room. We had 2 people stayed in the room but only 1 bath towel was provided. There was another bath towel placed in the closet but apparently it was used and dirty. On the morning during checkout time, there was no one at the front desk and we waited for 15 min until someone finally came out, there was obviously a lack of staff as the staff was saying she was the only person managing the front desk, kitchen, and the rooms. She asked me how was my stay and I told her my honest opinion, she was then only giving me a shrug and not so sincere apology. I travel a lot and this was the worst hotel I’ve ever stayed.

Only stayed one night - arrived very late and left early the next morning. Friendly staff greeted us on arrival, the room was clean and breakfast buffet was outstanding! Conveniently located near the incredible Caen Memorial Museum and the Caen airport.

I arrived at the hotel at 01:00, the reception staff was very efficient and friendly. The room and facilities were excellent for my requirements.

The rooms are fairly new though are starting to show some wear and tear. The staff was very friendly and helpful. The breakfast was not worth the money, there's a great bakery around the corner and it's cheaper. Overall, it was what I paid for, nothing more, nothing less.

We had to wait over 5 min before someone came to check us & another guest in, which felt much longer since we had been traveling all day & were tired. The place looked a bit run down, walls needed to be wiped clean in our room, we had to ask for additional pillows, there was no sheet between us & the comforter & there were cobwebs in the room. If you need a place to sleep that is cheap, in more ways than one, this is your place. The location was great.

Good option for a stop on the road. We made a tour of Normandy and Bretanny

Overall a great stay….except the breakfast we paid 10 euros each for the worst food on our travels,scrambled egg must of been an hour old you couldn’t put your knife into the sausage,the bacon looked like cut up scraps overall very poor not worth 1euro , shame really the staff, room and hotel were great.
