Hotel Bristol

Caen


The centrally located Hotel Bristol has well-maintained contemporary, rather neutrally toned rooms with comfortable beds and huge windows. It's the friendly and welcoming service, however, that really sets this place apart from other similarly priced options. Breakfast is €9.50; parking is €10 per night.

It offers excellent off-season discounts.
