What guests think
At Hotel Restaurant Spa Ivan Vautier, travelers consistently praise the warm, welcoming staff and the acclaimed Michelin-rated restaurant, while feedback is more mixed on facilities and upkeep, with several noting limitations in the spa and gym and variable room maintenance.
Rooms are generally comfortable and spacious, though a few guests mention dated elements, soft or noisy beds, small TVs, street noise in front-facing rooms, and occasional hot-water limits for bathtubs. The location sits outside Caen’s center in a quiet area, with easy on-site or nearby parking and good road access for visiting Normandy. Dining beyond the restaurant is mixed, as breakfast quality and replenishment vary. Expect a friendly stay in quiet surroundings, but check facility availability and room specifics.

Disappointing experience. The reasons where: First, I always book hotels with a fittnes room as part of my "need to" list. The fitness room in this hotel was "unfortunately" under renovation for 2 months and therefore not available. It was not mentioned anywhere when booking the hotel and the hotel staff was simply indifferent to the lack of fitness room. Secondly, the alleged SPA which was also part of the reason we booked this hotel, was also a disappointment. It was simply a SPA in a room and a sauna. Furthermore, the use required additional payment which would have been acceptable if it was an inviting experience. Thirdly, the breakfast was nowhere near a 5* star experience. It should be somewhere between 3 to 4 stars. The food was reasonable enough but there was a very limited choice of foods. (no vegetables, no eggs, almost no fruit, etc.) In addition, we dined at the Michelin restaurant. The restaurant was not close to being at the level of a Michelin restaturant except for the price. Several dishes were uninteresting without much flavour. Since the waiter spoke no English whatsoever we did get presentation of the dishes and wine and several times we were not served wine before the dish. All in all a disappointing visit to an alleged 5 star hotel. Luckily Normandy is a very nice place and certainly worth the visit.

The property is located about a 25 minute walk away from Caen city centre. The surrounding area is very quiet and safe with lots of delicious patisseries very close by ( highly recommend trying). The room has everything you need, is very comfortable, clean and air-conditioned. The hotel has an area for workouts, with 3 pieces of aerobic equipment. This room is not like a normal gym, it is carpeted with chairs and tables in ( presumably for those waiting to use the spa?) with no ac ( that I found). But can easily do a workout in there. The hotel has private parking. The hotel offers a buffet breakfast, which has everything youd expect from a continental breakfast. The staff are all lovely and very welcoming. Highly recommend.

Désirant passer un court séjour en amoureux pour se retrouver. Nous avons constaté un nombre excessif de points non compatibles pour un établissement 5 étoiles. Trace de calcaire, multiples supports, fuite d'eau dans la salle de bain, énormément de taches douteuses sur la moquette en général, eau vraiment pas chaude voir tiède, support en bois sous la baignoire humide et qui se tient par miracle, trace de calcaire dans la cuvette des wc. Vous êtes un 5 étoiles ? Moi, perso, je dis 2 étoiles.

While the room itself was pretty nice, the decoration with a lot of taste...., I must say that this hotel falls short of a five-star experience; I would rate it as a three-star establishment, at most. For example, Although they advertise 24-hour room service, it is nonexistent. The shower was leaking so significantly that I almost had to turn it off, and the room cleaning was average. The most disappointing aspect was the self-service breakfast—the food was utterly tasteless and unappetizing. Based on my experience, I will not be booking this hotel again.

Mooi hotel met eigen parkeergelegenheid. De kamer en badkamer waren heel ruim en schoon. Gegeten in het sterrenrestaurant. Het was op dat moment heerlijk weer, dus lekker buiten kunnen zitten. Het ontbijt viel een beetje tegen. De eerste ochtend was het wel goed maar tijdens de tweede ochtend werd er slecht aangevuld, terwijl het toen wel druk was met gasten.

We visited the WW1 and WW2 sites and cemeteries in Normandy area. Hotel was conveniently located to the areas we visited. The room was a decent size and well equipped. The hotel and facilities were very clean and well kept. The Michelin rated restaurant in the hotel was a wonderful dining experience. Don’t miss your chance to dine in an excellent environment. Book your reservation when you check in. I recommend “la selection de rapas en toute confiance”. An excellent 5 days in Caen.

The restaurant experience was extraordinary, the reception was the most welcoming, the room was modern and clean. I say, if anyone is in the area, recommend to stay at this hotel and dine at Ivan Vautier. It will bring your Normandy experience on the whole new level . The only issue was our room faced the street and it was noisy all night, had to close the window and then it was ok. Highly recommend this hotel and the restaurant.

The room was amazing. Very comfortable and roomy. Staff was very good. Breakfast is highly recommended - it was a good selection and high quality. My only complaint is that the room had an amazing bathtub but on the two occasions that I tried to take a bath there was only enough hot water for about 4 inches of the bathtub. Pretty disappointing as I'm a real bath person.

Très bel hôtel et personnel charmant Dommage qu’il n’y ait pas un choix de restaurants à pieds mais cela ne remet pas en cause la qualité de l’établissement

We visited the WW1 and WW2 sites and cemeteries in Normandy area. Hotel was conveniently located to the areas we visited. The room was a decent size and well equipped. The hotel and facilities were very clean and well kept. The Michelin rated restaurant in the hotel was a wonderful dining experience. Don’t miss your chance to dine in an excellent environment. Book your reservation when you check in. I recommend “la selection de rapas en toute confiance”. An excellent 5 days in Caen.

While the room itself was pretty nice, the decoration with a lot of taste...., I must say that this hotel falls short of a five-star experience; I would rate it as a three-star establishment, at most. For example, Although they advertise 24-hour room service, it is nonexistent. The shower was leaking so significantly that I almost had to turn it off, and the room cleaning was average. The most disappointing aspect was the self-service breakfast—the food was utterly tasteless and unappetizing. Based on my experience, I will not be booking this hotel again.

Disappointing experience. The reasons where: First, I always book hotels with a fittnes room as part of my "need to" list. The fitness room in this hotel was "unfortunately" under renovation for 2 months and therefore not available. It was not mentioned anywhere when booking the hotel and the hotel staff was simply indifferent to the lack of fitness room. Secondly, the alleged SPA which was also part of the reason we booked this hotel, was also a disappointment. It was simply a SPA in a room and a sauna. Furthermore, the use required additional payment which would have been acceptable if it was an inviting experience. Thirdly, the breakfast was nowhere near a 5* star experience. It should be somewhere between 3 to 4 stars. The food was reasonable enough but there was a very limited choice of foods. (no vegetables, no eggs, almost no fruit, etc.) In addition, we dined at the Michelin restaurant. The restaurant was not close to being at the level of a Michelin restaturant except for the price. Several dishes were uninteresting without much flavour. Since the waiter spoke no English whatsoever we did get presentation of the dishes and wine and several times we were not served wine before the dish. All in all a disappointing visit to an alleged 5 star hotel. Luckily Normandy is a very nice place and certainly worth the visit.

Lovely hotel with a fantastic restaurant. Stayed one night. Had tasting menu lunch that was paired with different wines. We had an exceptional meal with great service at the table. Breakfast was also a delight. The night watchman even served us a calvados after we returned from the SM Caen match vs St-Etienne at midnight. Highly recommended.

Tout est excellent. Mais le petit-déjeuner devrait être amélioré. Il est vrai qu’il n’est pas cher (18 €) très en des prix que l’on peut attendre dans un 5*.

Mooi hotel met eigen parkeergelegenheid. De kamer en badkamer waren heel ruim en schoon. Gegeten in het sterrenrestaurant. Het was op dat moment heerlijk weer, dus lekker buiten kunnen zitten. Het ontbijt viel een beetje tegen. De eerste ochtend was het wel goed maar tijdens de tweede ochtend werd er slecht aangevuld, terwijl het toen wel druk was met gasten.

Awful hotel, not a 5 star as advertised. Hotel is aware that they have a wifi issue but still advertise free wifi, scam. They say the hotels in the area have a wifi problem, not true, we stayed at another hotel in the area and they had wifi

Close to downtown, easy bus transportation to city centre, safe and secure parking. There was a moldy smell in the building, rooms very small. They claim it is 5 stars, it is not!

The room we were in had roof eaves vaulted across our bed, so you had to stoop to get out of it. The split bathroom was not a good design. There was a water closet with a door separate from the shower and tub and sink which was directly in front of our bed with no door. The location was good and the staff very friendly and helpful. The price was good considering they had a Michelin star restaurant on the premises.

Forget the spa. Every American should stay here and most importantly should eat in the restaurant. The food, the service are amazing. Thank you Ivan Vaultier for making an unexpected trip into a great event for my friend and I.
