Clos Saint-martin

Fabulous stay! Many folks stay in Bayeau when visiting the beaches of Normandy but Caen is less touristy! This small boutique hotel is not far from the beaches and offers a glimpse of local life. Hotel staff is friendly and rooms are clean! Hotel is very quiet. The only thing that wakes you up is the birds! Rooms are not air conditioned but windows open and they provide fans. We stayed in a family room that was perfect for three! Twin bed in one room and queen in the other. Nice sitting area with great selection of drinks in the mini fridge. Wonderful breakfast too! Relaxing atmosphere!

Quaint little hotel situated behind and unassuming door which leads into a courtyard…. We had the pink room on the third floor ….do not even consider this room if you are not too fit!! Very comfortable with a massive bed and a good shower in the bathroom….. young lady looked after as well… she spoke good English….but was obviously pleased that one person in our party spoke good French! Really enjoyed the breakfast ….with individual baskets of breads, and good jams. Only down side was the price….. which I felt was a little pricey but would definitely book again on our next time in Caen

A beautiful gem in the middle of Caen. Fantastic location. Rooms are stunning. Cycling here. Bike security great. Delicious breakfast. V helpful hosts. Comfortable beds.beautiful courtyard. Slightly difficult to find as it is hidden away.

Pro- it's quaint in an old lady kind of way. It was comfortable. ( see cons) Good location. Cons- the water is not hot enough. The shower doesn't drain. The "breakfast" was bad. Very few choices and not fresh. The water pot was not cleaned from the last guest. The room is cold.

The Clos Saint-Martin hotel in Caen, is near a wonderful WW2 Museum and easy drive to WW2 landing beaches and other wonderful towns and sites in Normandy. It's not obvious from the street that there is a hotel behind the green door that abuts the sidewalk. When you go through the door you enter an arch covered cobblestone walkway to the hotel within. There were 7 of us, so we rented the Comfort Quadruple Room Ensuite that was in the main house, as well as the Gate House. The Quadruple was made up of a room with king bed, a room with twin beds and a shared bathroom. It was in the main house was on the second floor . The rooms were very charming and spacious, and were accessed by a wide stone curved staircase. The main house definitely has a romantic charm. The Gate House is a little more modern inside. It has a kitchenette and dining table that was nice for eating in. There was a room with king bed and a room with twin beds upstairs. Downside is having the bathroom downstairs. The breakfast buffet in the main house was wonderful. Lots of delicious items to pick from The breads and jams and the hot chocolate were especially delicious. The hotel staff was very friendly and understood English.
