Campanile Caen Est - Mondeville

The restaurant building is separate and in good order. Most of the young staff were pleasant and help. One young lady is definitely not made for the hospitality business. Plonked down an order of sparkling water, not a word or a smile and walked off. The accommodation building is another matter. Gap under door showing Daylight. Thin carpet tiles stains visible. Damaged/rotted window frame. Lumpy bed, pillows with no substance giving no support. The room smelled of stale smoke, a damp musky odour. All on all a very unpleasant stay. We were booked in for a week but within 30 minutes we changed it to an overnight stay. This campanile is not up to standard

Our Group RBL Taunton has stayed at this hotel twice and we have found it to be exceptional each times. The rooms are situated in an annex from the reception, bar and restaurant area. Rooms are a good size with good firm mattressess. Beds with white linen. Air conditioning is provided and USB ports for charging appliances. Hairdryers and flat screen televisions. The showers in the en suite are powerful with rainfall shower heads. Rooms are clean and cleaned every day. Reception staff and all the other staff members are pleasant. Bar prices are very expensive but most hotels are. Breakfast is delightful with range of cheeses, meats, breads and fresh fruit. Please do try the yoghurt, la ferme de la vieille abbaye. Locally made near the hotel. We dined several times as the group and the food was of a good standard in the evening. Watch out for the garden as the mosiquettos can be in an ambundance. The hotel is situated on the outskirts of Caen, we got a taxi to the centre and it was 25 euros. Caen is a wonderful city and comes alive at night. Recomend popping into the irish bar odonnells. Definately a good hotel to stay.

Room ok, food in restaurant very good, receptionist spoke very good English and was extremely helpful.

A bit isolated but has bar and restaurant and is only 15 minutes drive to ferry port

Great hotel. Handy for the brittany ferry. Free secure onsite parking. Clean room with great shower. Very good breakfast and lovely staff. Whats not to like!

A good stopping off hotel en route to Ouistreham to catch a ferry. The hotel was clean and quiet and had a restaurant and free parking. The only negative point was that I chose this hotel because it had air conditioning, but the system hadn’t been activated for the summer. It was the end of May & the room was very hot, so we didn’t get a good night’s sleep. I would choose to stay here again but only when it had working air con!

Wow, I've never been so cheesed off. Arrived at this location only to be told that the a/c was out (something I would experience again the following day at another Campanile location, I sense a pattern here), and there'd been no attempt by Campanile to let guests know - instead, the ubiquitous French shrug is issued with 'take it or leave it' attitude. The sweaty little room was comfortable enough - with our own two fans, don't travel in France in summer without them - and the roller blind lowered, making the room something of a den in which you might get an hour or two of sleep. The staff were 'helpful', once bludgeoned into actually doing their job, and polite in a distinctive Francais-manner. Not somewhere I'd recommend, unless it's mid-winter, but then maybe they won't put the heating on either... Good luck if you stay here and it's hot, at least you'll get an authentic French experience.

Very welcoming, friendly staff, very popular restaurant. Pleasant stay for early Ferry.

When we were arrived we were told that the aircon was broken (no attempt had been made to contact us or other guests we spoke to, prior to any of us arriving). The heat and humidity made it unbearable and we had very little sleep. The compact room was basic and functional and came with free parking. Sadly, this was of little use when the aircon (a crucial factor in us making this booking) was not working. Curiously, when we arrived at another Campanile the following night we were told there that the aircon was also broken....what a strange coincidence.
