Hotel Libera Caen Colombelles

It is convenient to get there by car as it is close to the entrance of the highway. The staff are very kind and polite at the reception. They also spoke perfect English. I can't speak French at all but I was able to relax and enjoy my stay.

We were in the area to visit DDay sites. This was a perfect location with easy access to the beaches of Normandy. Out of the city of Caens and all the noise and traffic. I used Google maps to find the hotel and as we drove in to the neighbourhood I doubted my choice of hotel. It’s very residential and all the housing and the hotel as well look like stacked cubes. But we couldn’t have been more pleased. Very helpful staff member took us to our room, switched the system from ‘heat’ to A/C. He said the nights were cold. 9C. I don’t think so! The laundry room is closed but he pointed across the street to the Super U grocery store. There is a 24/7 outside laundromat there which we took advantage of. Our room had a queen size bed and a twin bed around another wall. Kitchenette with refrigerator, 2 burner stovetop, microwave, dishes, 2 pots and enough cutlery to have meals in your room. So much storage by twin bed - open cubicles. Large bathroom with great shower. Being on the ground level of the 2 story complex, we had an outside patio rather than a balcony. There’s plenty of parking including EV chargers, wonderful breakfast buffet for €11.90. We were so relaxed here after busy days touring around. As I said when we were checking out - ‘this is one of the best places we’ve ever stayed’. Don’t let the drive in dissuade you!

Et ok sted for en overnatning.
