Ibis Caen Porte de Bretagne

Good stopping off place if heading off into deepest Europe from Cherbourg- it is about 1 hour 20 mins from harbour with easy access to Autoroute towards Rennes or ring-road heading towards Rouen/Paris. Free parking. Reception was really welcoming- we had arrived at 8.45 and were asked whether or not we wanted something to eat- would have kept restaurant open if we had. Room clean and functional. Bathroom a bit like a bathroom on a ship. Bed comfortable. Breakfast adequate- liked the tarte au pomme however! Gluten-free bread available on request. Free parking. Definitely one of the better Ibis hotels we have stayed when travelling in France.

Hotel in a convenient spot if you have a car. Beds are hard and have a plastic cover on the mattress which makes them hot. Our room wasn’t ready upon arrival at 4:30 pm. Breakfast good, dinner there not good. Bathroom is weird, no counter space. Would prob not stay here again.

Very nice modern hotel. Being so near the highway was very good as we had rented a car to drive around the Normandy area. Staff were friendly and very helpful. Breakfast spread was good and ample. Would absolutely recommend if you have a car and want to visit Caen, Bayeux, D-Day historical site and the Normandy areas in general.

Great hotel, very friendly staff. Gluten free breakfast optional which is really great. Lots of charging stations nearby, and also a Carrefour Market around the corner. Also great for visiting Caen which is a 10 minute drive away 10/10 would recommend.

The hotel is close to the Caen ring road, the room was comfortable and quiet, and the shower good. There is plenty of parking, which is locked at night. The reception staff were friendly. There is a supermarket close by.

We often stay in an Ibis when we are travelling and have found them to be reliable if unexciting. However, this hotel is exceptional. It has some of the friendliest and most helpful staff we have ever met. Nothing was too much trouble for them and we were recognised and warmly welcomed when we made a return visit. Like all the Ibis group the hotel accepts dogs and ours was fussed over and made very welcome. The adjacent Coutpaille restaurant provides a convenient and pleasant place to eat. The hotel is convenient for travellers as it is sited at the junction of the Rocade Sud and the A84 motorway.

Great stopover. Can’t complain at all.

Really lovely hotel, the best shower, food lovely and location perfect

Fine for an inexpensive stay near to the ferry port.
