Stayed here one night after arriving by train from Paris to tour Normandy invasion sites. All we wanted was a nice clean place to stay and the Mercure Caen did the job. A/C worked great and the bathrooms had recently been upgraded. Clean comfortable room and the price was outstanding. Best night's sleep I had in Europe this trip. Large... more

After a ferry crossing, we always stay in Caen the first night, though usually at the Ibis, next door. As this was our first trip without the children we thought we'd splash out a bit and stay at the Mercure this time. We're still not quite sure what the difference was between the two hotels, apart from price. Room was... more

I stayed here on September 17, 2008. I found my room to be roomy, clean and comfortable. Hotel staff were helpful. The cost of using the Internet was average for France. They use a prepaid card system here. The card has a code that you use to log in with. The hotel appears to be in a nice neighborhood with... more

I stayed there for two nights in late May with a large group. The hotel was well located within the city, and Caen proved an excellent base for touring more widely. The hotel's lobby and public areas are spacious; our first impressions were favourable. Our actual rooms varied hugely, especially in outlook as well as general quality, ranging from quite... more

We stayed at the Mercure Caen Centre Port de Plaisance for two nights earlier this month while touring the Normany region. The hotel is in a great area, surrounded my lots of eating establishments and bars within walking distance. The rooms were adequate for two people. We had a fridge in our room, which was a nice feature. We had... more

The shower screen did not fit snuggly so the floor got flooded! But that was the only problem. Our room DID have... more

This hotel is in a great location and very convenient for restaurants. It has its own underground car park which you pay extra for. It would be advisable to book this if you wanted to use it. We hadn't booked but fortunately there was space. Even if you couldn't get in the hotel car park you could park in the... more

We stayed at the Mercure in June of 2004. This hotel is in a great location. Within walking distance of many great restaurants, shops, and bakeries. The accomodations are average but good for the price. As far as the air conditioner being in the lobby, I have no idea. I remember adjusting it myself in the room. Please remember you... more
