Clos Saint-martin

I was on a family trip to Normandy, staying in Caen for three nights. We had the Blue Room and the Green Room and everyone loved this small, beautiful hotel. It's in a renovated 17th and 18th century building. Each of our rooms was very large (bedroom, bathroom, and a closet / dressing room), impeccably clean, quiet, and comfortable. The rooms face a beautiful courtyard instead of the street. Wi-Fi was very good. There's ample paid parking nearby (free overnight and on Sunday). The included breakfast spread was terrific, including locally grown pears and local cheese, meats, and more. I'd love to stay here again! Caen is a wonderful city to visit in its own right and is also an excellent base for Bayeux and the D-Day beaches.

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.

Central location, parking on the street or in public subterranean parking at about 500m distance. Easy self-check-in. Full of character old building at the back of a courtyard. Our Superior Double Room was huge and nicely decorated. Large, comfortable bed, ancient tv that did not work. The breakfast was as poor as you can find at a two-star establishment. Even the yogurt was offered in one, sweet variety, only.

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.

We had a wonderful stay at Clos Saint Martin for 4 nights at the end of Sept. Cynthia is amazing---she greeted us after our long day of travel and got us settled in our rooms, best parking, and recommendations for dinner nearby. Cynthia continued to be so warm and welcoming throughout out stay---even helping us out with directions on the street when we ran into her out walking! The breakfast is fantastic---the best bread and yogurt we had in all of our three total weeks in France. The rooms were large, comfortable with excellent baths and showers. The large Friday market is just outside the door. We would definitely recommend to others and stay again---Caen was a great base for exploring Normandy.
