A hotel with an excellent central location, 10-15 minutes walk from the gare. Buses and tramway just outside. Also, there’s a shop just across the street.
The welcome at the hotel was very warm and friendly. My room, with a double bed, was small but clean and nicely kept. I really appreciated the extra service on the floor, with a microwave, cups, coffee/tea, and cutlery available.
There is no elevator, but the host kindly carried my suitcase up the stairs.
Breakfast is served in the room, and it was generous, with very good coffee.
Overall, a pleasant, clean, central, and welcoming place. Highly recommended for solo travellers or couples.

Staff was excellent. Breakfast delivered to the room was a bonus. The room was sizable. My only downside is that we could hear people sneeze in the room beside us and people walking across the floor above.

The owner of the hotel was extremely nice and courteous.
The room was quiet and clean! The location was also perfect!
Every morning he brought us breakfast to our room and it was the best way to start the day!
We looked forward to seeing him every morning and our breakfast.
We can’t thank him enough for everything!
We would absolutely stay here again!
Thank you!

We had a wonderful time staying at Hotel Astrid.
We stayed in a double superior room and we liked the added room for two people. Easy walking distance to at least 10 high quality restaurants. Owner is always there and very involved with making sure we were taken care of. It was a wonderful experience both at hotel and the beautiful city of Caen.

My wife and I stayed one night at the hotel and found the staff friendly. The hotel is in a great location within walking distance from the train station, restaurants and attractions. The room was nice and quiet and the fan was provided kept the room cool as they don’t have A/C. My only complaint was that I didn’t find the mattress comfortable and extra pillows would have been nice.

Staff was very friendly and helpful. Room was clean. But very hot without the windows open and it was too noisy at night to have them open. Bistro across the street was open almost all night and very loud.

Hotel rooms were clean and nice. Staff was very helpful. Wi-Fi was very weak, unless we stood in the hallway. And there was no air conditioning, or elevators, Taking our luggage and bringing it down, they were very helpful. I got you an extra pillow.

Perfect Location
Hotel location is perfect. The room is well designed. Having to have breakfast in the room was fine in fact.
The "Hotels.com" description gave the impression the hotel has a car park. It doesn't and we did find parking a problem as well as car security.

Good:
Close to city centre, bus stops. Very willing friendly reception. Quiet room and very clean .
Not so good :
Bathroom small with shower curtains which meant water everywhere. Toiletries very basic.
Room : lacking of coffee/tea facilities in room
Overall : Adequate for one night or 2 stay.
Pricey for basic accommodation .

Property was in a really good area so is perfect for anyone keen to be right in the heart of Caen. Super close to the bars and restaurants and like a 10 minute walk from historical sites.
Biggest concerns with the hotel were the cleanliness of rooms. Found a used empty water bottle underneath my bed - from a previous guest, dust along sides of the room and on radiator pipe.
Also lack of service is noticeable. When you check in or out you have to use a telephone to contact someone then grab a key yourself.
Tried ringing the phone a couple times when checking out but didn't get through then got shouted at through the webcam.....

Full service
From the welcome at reception when I arrived until I left I felt like a valued guest. With no breakfast room all breakfasts are hand delivered to the room and contained so much food I was unable to finish what was on offer.
Position of the hotel is great. Although quite a long walk from the station, for those less inclined to stretch their legs there are two tram lines T1 and T3 which will take you from the station to the end of the street the Astrid is on.
There are plenty of dining options in either direction when you leave the hotel and just a short stroll to all the shops and tourist destinations.
