A great hotel, and fantastic value for the price. The rooms are fairly small and simple and the matress a bit soft, but it had a TV, en-suite shower and toilet, towels and soap. You don't need much more! My only slight negative comment would be that on Sundays and Bank Holidays you can't check in between 2pm and 7pm.... more

Overall room facilities & hotel location is okay, not so close to the gare station but reachable by tram in a walking distances. Free wi-fi available. The owner is helpful with map & information of the city. A small disappointment is that I arrived at the hotel in the evening and the owner took me to my room, explained everything... more

Hotel la Fontaine is a great little place to use as a base to explore Normandy and the D-Day beaches. Located approximately 10 minutes from the local SNCF station by tram, the location is fantastic for the budget minded. The rooms are modest and comfortable. Yes, the room and the bathroom are on the small side, but given the price... more

We stayed at La Fontaine for three nights over the last weekend in August. I had picked the hotel based on the ratings in Tripadvisor and we weren’t disappointed. I asked for a low floor room as my wife has a bad hip. We were given room five on the first floor near the dining room and reception. I thought... more

Hotel de la Fontaine was exactly what my boyfriend and I were looking for on our ten day tour of France, post-Paris. The hotel was the best priced facility we encountered on our whole trip. The hotel is within walking distance of all of the major Caen sights except the Memorial Museum. We had a car, so this was not... more

Stayed here in April and chose to stay in Caen for a couple day D-Day beaches tour. Even though my tour started/ended in Bayeux every day, I stayed here because the hotels in Caen are about 1/2 price of those in Bayeux. The train ride is an easy 5 euro, short ride and they depart frequently. The hotel is close... more

This was the second time I have stayed in this hotel. The girl who checked us in was great, really helpful. Nice clean rooms. Really close to the centre of Caen for sightseeing, eating and shopping. Underground car park very close which cost 9euros for 24 hours. Limited free parling outside the hotel at night. more

Okay -- the room was small and the bathroom was basic -- but everything was spotless. The front desk could not have been more helpful and friendly. Breakfast was also a bit basic -- but for 45 euros, do you expect the Ritz? There would be only one thing which I would be cautious about: there had been an Irish... more

My husband and 15 month old son had reservations to stay at the Hotel de la Fontaine in early June of this year. (I booked the reservations through venere.com). When we arrived (after carrying one piece of luggage, a stroller, and a pac-n-play on my back up several flights of stairs) we were greeted by a cold stare from the... more
