This was the second time I have stayed at this hotel in Caen. This time I reserved two connecting rooms. It is still a wonderful hotel. The location is amazing - right in the center of Caen - with easy walking access to city attractions and eateries. The facilities are spotlessly clean, as are the rooms. The beds are comfortable, and the rooms are well appointed. Breakfast, a buffet, is stocked with a diverse array of options, and the woman that manages the breakfast room is warm and inviting. Above all, the staff is exceptional - friendly and helpful in every way … extremely professional and welcoming. The only negative…unfortunately a new bar opened up across the street from the hotel…and it plays loud music until around 1:30 AM. The hotel staff is very sympathetic to the noise issue, but unfortunately there is not much they can do to stop it.

The Best Western Plus Hotel Moderne is a nice, hospitable and comfortable hotel in Caen. It's located in the town center, close to the most interesting monuments of the city. It's very well decorated inside and its lobby is very bright and gay, its decoration being concocted with much taste. The hotel is quite peaceful, particularly the bedrooms. In this respect, I was allocated a very good room. I wasn't disturbed by any noise coming from other guests. Therefore, I could sleep pleasantly all nights of my stay in that hotel, the more so if the fact that the bed mattress was very adequate as far as its toughness is concerned is taken into consideration. Apart from that, the room is in itself nice and very well furnished. The staff members are all very kind and helpful, both the ones working at the reception area and the ones at the breakfast room. At that room there was Rebecca, who is a friendly, kind and charming lady. The breakfast is very abundant. All the food available there regarding that meal is very tasty and of an utmost quality. The breakfast room is besides a wonderful place to enjoy the meal concerned thanks to its comfort and the calm reigning there. The hotel is therefore an excellent place to stay in Caen. I had a gorgeous sojourn in that city mainly due to the fact of having chosen that fantastic hotel. I should thus recommend to book in it to anyone visiting Caen.

4* quality, city centre hotel. Walkable to all parts of the city. Friendly and helpful staff and comfortable rooms. Limited basement parking for a fee. Convenient place from which to visit other towns and cities i.e. Bayeaux or Mont St Michel.

The hotel was very modern and comfortable. We especially appreciated the elevator, as we had spent the prior week in a 3rd floor walkup, boutique hotel in another part of Normandie. The staff was very friendly and helpful, with good English.

Excellent location, staff, and rooms. The staff was very caring and assisted with medical help when I fell ill. Close to a market, good restaurants, and some historical sights. The free Wi-Fi in the room was fantastic.

BW hotels are independent and each has its own personality. But over the years we have discerned a strong standard of value and hospitality. The Moderne is no exception. We liked the central location, the private car parking in their small garage under the hotel, and the pleasant staff. Kudos for the excellent lighting in the bathroom and the generously sized bath towels. It's nice to have a wardrobe tall and unimpeded enough for long clothes to hang freely. The hotel is old but thoughtfully updated, with plenty of electric sockets suitable for charging laptops, phones, etc. . Not quite art deco, but some nice touches paying tribute to its history. The breakfast is a bit formulaic, but decent. Caen is a history of great character and history. The Moderne is well situated to help you have access to all you may wish to see, and probably convenient for business purposes too.

My two night stay, April 24 & 25 was entirely satisfactory. Breakfast on the first floor was a delightful surprise. Excellent attention to detail and wide array of choices. What a treat being able to squeeze my own orange juice. The toaster was unavailable, but the apologetic and gracious staff and alternative selection of food, made up for any disappointment. I had an early morning check out. Taxis were unavailable at that early hour. The ladies at the front desk went above and beyond to compensate. The lady in charge, A, has a natural way of making you feel special and appreciated. And another front desk employee accompanied me to the tram nearby, to ensure I boarded the correct tram to Gare Caen. I was boarding a train, so time was of the essence. The hotel is extremely lucky to have these caring and efficient women at the front desk, and dining room. I was humbled and most impressed. The room was clean and comfortable and very quiet for sleeping. The hotel location is central with several amenities nearby. Highly recommend this hotel to those seeking a high level of hospitality, including excellent problem-solving skills and an enthusiastic and helpful attitude. Thank you.

From the moment we arrived we were made to feel welcome at this hotel. The hotel has car parking under the property and the person on the front desk ( apologies I can't remember her name) was very helpful in guiding us into the car park and even carried some of our luggage up to the reception area. The rooms are very comfortable and very quiet, the breakfast was fresh with many options to choose from. There was a very helpful gentleman at reception who , on several occasions, was kind enough to book a couple of restaurants for us. Even when he was very busy. The only small issue we had with our room was the temperature of the heating, it was a little too warm for us. When I asked about this at reception I was told the the air conditioning is turned off in September and I fan would be brought up to the room. The fan never arrived, however we were compensated for this when we checked out of the hotel. Try the restaurant Beouf and Cow, it's fantastic and only a short walk from the hotel Overall the Best Western Plus Hotel Moderne is a very comfortable, quiet and centrally located hotel. I would recommend this hotel if you are visiting Caen.
