It is what it is a 2 star hotel in an old building

Centrally located, great for us. Underground nearby with a daily charge. Good continental breakfast.

Excellent visit ! Thank you for being such great hosts. The coffee/tea station in the common area was simply wonderful and location was perfect. The only challenge was the pull out sofa bed with an uncomfortable mattress as well as a pointy metal bar sticking out at the bottom of the bed which could have caused injury (we had to cover it up by wrapping towels over it) but overall excellent hotel that has everything we needed. Merci !

Wonderful owners, very welcoming and helpful. Great location, clean comfortable room! Would definitely stay again.

Wonderful hotel operated by a warm and friendly family. Matteiu was helpful and checked in on our comfort. The rooms were updated, stylish, and comfortable. We had an amazing dinner at a pizza/pasta restaurant around the corner. Great location!

Very helpful host. Thank you.

A great spot, perfectly located. Great breakfast and service. Highly recommended!

Everything was amazing from start to finish. The hotel is modern, clean, comfortable and in a great location but still very quiet! The hosts are lovely and helpful and accommodating. Couldn't change anything!

The staff were very friendly and helpful It was very nice and clean. There are a lot of stairs and no elevator so it may be a problem for those with mobility issues

Enjoyed our stay here. Basic but clean. Breakfast very good. Definitely recommend.

Charming hotel close to everything. Rooms and dining were clean and tidy. The inn keeper/owner was super warm and friendly. He made us feel very welcome. Highly recommended.

The hotel is in a nice part of the city, convenient to shopping and some good restaurants. The room itself was clean, quite small, with limited amenities.

Super séjour, on recommande!

Staff was friendly, location was central.

The owner is very friendly and accommodating. The hotel location is great with a wine and grocery store nearby. we enjoyed our stay here!

Good location, seems like a new hotel, small rooms but contain all that's needed

Excellent hotel, in the middle of the city Centre. Walking distance to shops, restaurants, banks, and local attractions. Owner operator hotel, that was very attentive and thoughtful. Considerations before booking: No lift/elevator for people with limited mobility. Minimum of two flights of stairs until reception desk. Total of four flights of stairs to the top floor. We didn’t have an issue with the stairs. Tips: We used Uber to World War II museum. There are limited amount of Ubers so check the queue on Uber app. Taxis are also available but more costly. Lite continental breakfast available for purchase no hot food except for coffee, tea, and hot coco. There are many other offerings walking distance, from the hotel such as, bakeries/ pastry shops. D-Day Beaches: A better option to visit the D-Day beaches and landmarks is to stay in Caen and drive into these areas. We did not rent a car, and decided to take a Uber for $30-42 to the location and taxi back to Caen (because of limited Ubers by the beaches). The drivers were super helpful, and some are like tour guides, such a bonus and worth the trip! There are hotels closer, Bayeux, BUT the a significant decrease in quality and comfort. We stayed in Bayeux and will not make the same mistake on a future trips - which had high marks but unfortunately the Bayeux “hotel” was disappointing. Stay in La Fontaine Hotel. Bayeux itself is a beautiful town to visit for half a day. I really loved Caen & this hotel

Surprisingly small but very good and affordable hotel. Stayed only one night but both me and my colleague were very happy and as a whole we both thought it was a well run hotel with a very helpful manager. Cozy and snug. Will be returning here to see more of Caen, a small but modern city with many interesting places to visit. The rooms were quite small and there was no elevator. Are you two, bitter and obese with perhaps a strained marriage and also a lot of luggage I can refer to another accommodation. To the rest, I highly recommend a stay at La Fontaine.

La Fontaine Caen Centre  (Mathieu and Zoe) sent us an email after our stay and offered a refund if we would not write any reviews about our experience with them and the La Fontaine Hotel.  If this is common practice, then it would help explain how they have received so many good reviews. Unfortunately, our experience was not so great. We had to cancel our first night stay with them because a rail strike prevented us from arriving on schedule. We notified the hotel the day before our reservation by text, email, and phone that we had to cancel our room for one night due to the strike.  We offered to pay any service fee but asked for a refund even if only partial.  Mathieu told us he rented our room when we cancelled our reservation but could not issue a refund because it was not booked though him and it was past the cancellation period. So he actually received double payment for our room.  The hotel itself is rated at 2 stars, which in some ways seems generous. It is very basic with small, dormitory type rooms and no AC (they do have small fans upon request). No lift - we had more that 70 steps to our room.  We did not accept their “bribe” (which indicates he could have refunded our money) and paid in full for 2 nights but only stayed one night.  Very disappointing experience at La Fontaine Caen Centre.

Super clean and modern room close to everything in the city.

I liked everything!!! The hotel is beautiful, peaceful, clean... the view to the garden is great... it is really good place to get a rest. The person who received us, is really great, he make us feel like home, he gave us a really good advice to go around and had the time and patience to explained to us everything. I really recommend this place, it was perfect!

Family owned hotel, very welcoming and helpful. Rooms were small but that’s ok since we were busy exploring the area they offer trips to visit the d-day beaches. Breakfast is available. No elevator.

No elevator, and going up to the third floor.

This is a budget hotel at 4 star prices, web site advertised free parking but we found out only after 7 PM, owner thought it was amusing when I enquired about the advertised free parking. If you want to see sights of Caen in the daytime you have to keep returning to put money in the parking meter. Average breakfast, good coffee, no eggs, croissants were under cooked. Room was stifling hot and the the street noise was annoyin.

Very helpful staff very clean good location and very responsive to any requests

This was a great location: an easy walk to the older part of town. The host was so inviting and had great recommendations for dinners. Note that you do need to pay for parking at at Indigo (and there is a lot of construction around the parking lot when we were there), but we never had any issues finding a spot. The room and bathroom were both very clean and made for a wonderful place to rest at the end of the day walking around. Very quiet even when sleeping with the window open.

Lovely stylish hotel at a good price. Quibbles? Breakfast a bit expensive for a family (€30 for a family of 4); bathroom could do with some hooks for clothes and a shelf for products in the shower. A further shelf in the bathroom that was not over the toilet would be great! Still, v nice, welcoming place, very very central. We enjoyed and would return.
