    Steep narrow stairs and no lift so wouldn't be suitable for restricted mobility

    Great Central location (for foot travellers anyway - not sure what the parking would be like). Cheap and cheerful basic hotel. Clean and comfortable small en-suite room. Helpful staff. Didnt eat there but breakfast looked perfectly fine. Plenty of cafes etc immediately nearby.

    It was a wonderful old property so some of the fittings were a little “rusty”.

    A little gem in the centre of the city. It was a perfect little piece of France. Very arty and quirky decor, a beautiful peaceful little courtyard where you could get tea and a very nice Continental breakfast with proper local produce- not a plastic pot of jam or pre wrapped butter pat in sight! Rouen itself is delightful. You can spend hours just wandering round the medieval streets and delighting in the different coloured buildings.

    The parking situation was not well described ahead of time, causing a lot of anxiety as we tried to find the hotel in the pedestrian zone. Clear instructions and an address for parking would have been very helpful. Additionally, the thin walls between rooms allowed noise to transfer easily, making it difficult to enjoy a quiet and restful night.

    The reception staff were exceptionally friendly and helpful, making check-in smooth and providing useful tips for exploring the town. The hotel's location is excellent, allowing easy access to main attractions, shops, and restaurants. Additionally, the continental breakfast offered a variety of fresh items to start the day.

    there is no sound isolation between rooms at all. we had loud neighbors: just talking we heard everything as if they were in the same flat either us. not possible to stand in the shower (ceiling too low)

    the room was very beautiful, perfect location in the city center (everything accessible within walking distance), nice staff

    Hand soap and body wash dispenser very average. Recommend bringing all your own toiletries. We had a room overlooking the sweet courtyard and even though it was midweek the street noise was very disruptive. Bring earplugs. It's a little tired, very much back to basics.

    Lovely friendly staff. The location is unbeatable. Car parking is very close and the hotel offer a discounted rate. The rooms are ample. The style is quaint, quirky and very original!

    Bedroom was tired and noisy from the adjoining room. Quite a way from the public car park but we were aware of it beforehand.

    Very unusual decor and quirky but lovely . Good central location in the heart of the old part of the city.

    Cute boutique hotel in the thick of Rouen. Great location. The hotel was basic but comfortable for 1 night. Lovely continental breakfast although a little overpriced. As the hotel is old there is no lift which is understandable. Lovely hostess.

    There’s not much soundproofing between rooms. A bigger TV would have been nice.

    Location is exceptional. Everything is nearby, and there’s a great Boulangerie over the road. The hotel is charming and quirky. Our room was comfortable and well appointed. Little street noise as the rooms are set back overlooking a courtyard.

    The uneven floor that made me feel like I was on a boat but I guess that is because it is an old building!

    It is a charming old building. Owner & staff were friendly. Fresh orange juice at breakfast.

    There is only one downside that you need to be aware of - the building is quite old and the walls are thin, so you will always hear the conversation in the next room. During the night you will know if your neighbors go to bathroom and whether or not their bathroom door is creaky.

    The hotel looks like a postcard. In fact, there are plenty of tourists who enter the courtyard just to make a photo. The hotel also serves as a restaurant during lunchtime and as a tearoom in the afternoon. We arrived around noon and had a most enjoyable lunch there. The breakfast consists of tea/coffee/chocolate, fresh orange juice, a croissant, a baguette, youghurt and jams. We were also offered some camembert cheese (probably to remind that it's the capital of Normandy :) The rooms are basic, but everything works, and the room is warm (an important thing in December!). The staff is super nice and welcoming.

    Bed linen wasn't great. A very thin polyprop blanket and top sheet that was a bit too small for the bed. Parking was difficult to locate possibly due to road closure but also rain and arriving just on peak hour traffic time in the dark didn't help so take that into account when you book here.

    Excellent location, very central, close to bars and restaurants and great shopping.

    The walls were like paper. I suppose that’s to be expected in such a very old building. But you could hear everything going on next door. That made me slightly paranoid.

    The courtyard was adorable. We enjoyed spending our time outside. Everything was very clean. And the old fireplace in our room was really cool.
