Featured Hotels near L＇Espace du Palais, Rouen

Stayed only 1 night but was good experience. The reception was good, Room very clean and nice breakfast. Could be improved: bedding (pillows) and soundproof (you can hear your bedroom neighbors) Well located for visit and there is parking very close

Easy on-site parking and 10-15 minutes walk to the historical center. Very grumpy, slow and inefficient check-in. Nobody noticed that I am a Silver member or the ”request” in my reservation. Therefore, I had to ask for a welcome drink and was allocated in a room facing the backyard. Cheapie attitude as they provide only one welcome drink for the card-holder ...even if the room and breakfast is paid for two persons... and I gave up waiting for the bar-tender to get my beer. Seriously, how much would it cost you to offer an extra soft-drink? If you do it on purpose so that the customer has to pay the abnormally high price you charge for a beer, then it is simply a bad policy which has negative impact on welcoming attitude. Shower only and an-all around ”detergent” suitable for hair, body ... and probably also dishes and car-wash. Usually in 4* hotels you have branded amenities and full-size bathtub. Even when there is a shower only, the installation is better and it doesn't require that the tenants must mop the floor every time after using it. Therefore, bad value for money, especially since you get almost the same at an IBIS with 35% cheaper rate. Excellent breakfast in every aspect ...variety of dishes and quick replenishment. Sleep comfort and air-conditioning were very good and that saved the day ... or the night :-) - IF I will be ever returning to the area, I will either choose the adjacent IBIS with river view, or a similar priced centrally located hotel.

The hotel was used as part of the Leger trip to Monet’s garden, Versailles, cheese & calvados trip. The area boasts new cycle lanes so the coach cant park outside but stops just over the road, worth taking into consideration as there is no porterage. It was in the middle of renovations when we visited so everywhere was in a bit if disarray but caused us no issues whatsoever. There is a small slow lift so on check in that becomes busy and its tucked in a small corner with little room to stand, so if you can, use the stairs. We had room 306. Rooms, small and basic, bathroom, 2 small towels, thin and not very good quality but adequate and changed every day. No hand towel at all. Hairdryer - ours did not work and I’m not sure if that was just an issue in this particular room but it wasn’t needed so again not an issue. Shower - has a high step up into it and can become quite slippy so care is needed, shower was good and plenty of hot water. Large mirror and small bin Bed was comfortable with extra pillows, good large window which opens fully, good air conditioning which worked really well. Small seat, chair and desk, very small wardrobe with 4 hangers, no drawers, no tea/coffee, no safe or phone. Curtain good quality and blackout. We slept really well No English channel on TV (it said there was a news channel but we couldn’t get it) Breakfast - fresh orange juice, tea, coffee etc Delicious fresh bread to slice yourself, croissants and brioche, selection of jams and yoghurts, fruit and ham. Cheese was a thick wedge and me personally would have preferred slices Bacon, sausage and scrambled egg. Im very choosy about these breakfast staples so did not try these Restaurant/bar. Both excellent. Good choice in the bar and priced averagely. The menu for dinner - opens at 7pm was small but having tried 4 of the dishes i could not fault them, again all under or around €15 Parking plentiful Small outdoor patio area with tables and chairs. Not the prettiest place to sit and could do with some smartening up but to sit, chat and drink it was more than adequate Staff. Super friendly and helpful Really for a small (500ish) room motel it was adequate, quiet and just over the road from the Seine which was a pleasant walk. 15 minute stroll to the cathedral and old town. Excellent bakery around the corner. Carrefour and pizzas I would definitely be happy to stay again

Hotel muy antiguo, pero no está en mal estado. El lavabo de nuestra habitación estaba un poco atascado y el suelo tenía un poco de polvo y el parking no es demasiado grande. Por lo demás muy bien. Camas limpias, no hay ruido exterior por lo que se descansa bien. Hay microondas, máquina de café y de refrescos en la entrada. También dispone de desayuno tipo buffet.

Positives. Easy to find. In good location, 5-10 minute walk from historic centre. Secure parking available. Relatively cheap. Reception staff were lovely and helpful. Bed Linen seemed clean. From there on its pretty negative. Parking is tight and limited. (i saw two people scrape their cars on walls and ceilings within 15 mins). Inconveniently placed concrete curbs and bollards make it tricky to get in and out with anything larger than a hatchback. Also had to block the entrance for everyone else whilst my wife got the access key from reception as there isn't a waiting bay for new arrivals outside the hotel. Hotel interior was dated and scruffy. Carpets dirty, reception smells of stale cigarettes. Overflowing cigarette ashtrays in the garden/terrace (which is basically the dead space between buildings filled with garden furniture. Room was small, dated decor, and lots of things were broken. Bed had a massive dip in it where springs had broken. Bath had black mould around. Light fixtures and telephone was handing off the wall. Hairdryer in bathroom was broken. Curtain didn’t pull far enough so room was bathed in light from 5:00. Walls paper thin. Unusual layout for hotel room, bathroom next to main bed. Toilet literally 1 metre from your bedside table (not much privacy). Had to sit on toilet at an angle because I could fit my knees in otherwise. Unfortunately there was a lack of care given to cleaning. Dust and hair under beds. We had used tea making kit still in the tray, and the toilet roll (which is housed in a black box rather than being lose) hadn’t been checked meaning we ran out after two sheets. Black mould around the bath. We were only given two towels despite them knowing we were three. Given shower gel to use as hand soap. Only 1 pillow each. Great location if you want to walk into town easily. Only 5 mins from historical centre. Although I would add that its right next to a massive busy road. Our room was at the back of the building on a working night so this didn’t affect us. (back of the room overlooks the smoking garden so it could be noisy if there were people out there). Reception staff really lovely, spoke very good English, and were accommodating of our terrible attempts at French. Breakfast was basic (continental style). Toast, jams, low quality patisseries. Sweaty jambon and fromage in a fridge cabinet, cereal, hot dogs ??? Yogurts and juice. Coffee machine. Tea making facility. Tubs of varying quality fruit salad. Most of the residents on the Wednesday morning that we attended seemed to be preparing for work. I assume that this hotel stays afloat by doing as little as possible but keeping things cheap so that they appeal to businesses trying to minimise cost. All in all it was a convenient place to stay for one night on our way through. But I wouldn’t stay here again even if it was half the price. Plenty of better options unless you are last minute desperate.

The hotel is a budget hotel but the reception area is bright and creates a good impression when you first arrive. Room was very basic and small but comfortable. The hotel is only about 5 mins from a tram stop giving quick access to the sights of Rouen. Would recommend for a one or two night stay but not much longer.

Stayed on our way north to Calais, easy access from the motorway. The hotel is just as good as in the past. The parking is good & secure and well worth the 3 euro's. Reception now has printed laminated cards to show how to access the parking. Not difficult but having reception on one exit from the roundabout and the car park entrance on another is likely to confuse. Just email reception and they'll send the map. Good big clean rooms with good views of the rugby ground at the back. sadly we've never caught a game. Take care when leaving as the roundabout in front can be very, very busy. Oh and you don't get designer waste bins in that many hotel rooms, you do here. Our son loved the shower in the disabled room he stayed in. Having stayed in a few places in Rouen this offers the bets value in our book.

Several disappointments despite a recent real estate and a welcome staff. I couldn't get points for the All program, unlike in other facilities, New but cold room, there is no heating in the bathroom. In the winter, it is not supportable because the carrier and the air are cold, the mirror is so low that I have to fold in two to see in the top of my 90 meter. At breakfast, des présents à thé en vrac, bien meilleur donc que celui en sachet... mais pas de boule à thé pour se servir. Eles sont au lavage. En ce qui à l'emplacement, il oblige à aller manger, à reprendre un transport jusqu'à l'hypercentre. 11€ in Uber go and then 11€ return.
