We came in on the evening Ferry and needed a place to stay close by. This hotel was perfect for us as it was just minutes off our route. Easy to use check-in system for late arrival. Will stay again when travelling this way

A pleasant hotel for a one night stop-over. The room was clean, functional and the bed was comfortable. The hotel is within easy access of the main highways and has a restaurant/grill close by. The auto check-in was easy to use and did not delay us at all. Due to the proximity to the main road there is a little traffic noise but it did not prevent a good nights sleep.
One of the rare hotels which offer bed for 4 persons in the same room, we always use due to this convenience. Very clean, nice beds and bathroom. B&B are often located close to the main highways which is convenient for 1 night sleep. This particular hotel B&B Caen Sud is difficult to find, the entrance is not well indicated and we had to search around. Also the hotel is on top of highway and during summer room is quite loud if window is opened.
B&B hotels have a way of cutting the frills that you don't need (eg someone sat on reception all day), while leaving the things that matter more. This one is the same design as several others we've stayed at: external staircases, with the doors to the rooms leading straight off a long balcony. The family rooms are an inventive design, set at the top of the building with an extra mezzanine floor for two single beds at the back of the room. Our kids love them! The big disadvantage of this particular hotel is that there is no air con. In mid summer it could get pretty unpleasant, especially at the top where the kids' beds are. And the hotel is right by a main road, so leaving the window open is not really an option.
Overall it's convenient location for an overnight stop. 25 minutes to the ferry port. Close to a large Leclerc hypermarket and shopping centre. We had a room for 4 which was compact but sufficient for the one night. The room was clean but looks a little dated. It's very close to the Caen Peripherique so there is likely to be road noise and theres no air con so the rooms can get quite warm. A fan would be useful. Parking was OK but quite a few "white vans" which took up quite a lot of space and made for a tight turn at one corner.
We've stayed in B&B hotels many times before over the years. Booking and checking in at the machine was easy. No problems at all. The room had been refurbished since we last stayed two years ago, which was nice. Breakfast was good.
Excellent. Good value for money.
If all you need is a bed and a shower for a good price this is it. Don't expect big or fancy rooms or whatever. It's just a place to spend the night and maybe eat breakfast. There's a pizza restaurant next door as well to cover other meals except on Sundays. My only complaint would be that the rooms get rather hot during the summer at least those on the top floor.
