Hotel Ivan Vautier

Bon accueil mais la personne ne parlait pas bien français. Peu de monde, confortable, agréable. Hammam en panne non précisé à la réservation.

Spacious room, friendly staffs, easy parking

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.

The location is outside city center. There is a nice free parking. The bathroom is spacious. The mattrass is alittle V shape, the TV screen is small and far. The service is excelent.

Séjour parfait accueil très serviable, propreté extrême confort, seule bémol les créneaux du spa ce termine à 20h le soir cela aurait était mieux jusque 00h

The standout part was the service - such friendly staff who are very accommodating. The room was large and well equipped and whilst the car park is small we managed to secure a space for all the days we were there. Bonus!: there’s also a cat!

Très bon séjour avec accès Spa, petit déjeuner copieux et personnels aux écoutes.

Le Spa disponible en privé c'est du bonheur. nous sommes partis de bonne heure, on nous a permis de prendre le petit déjeuner.

Das Restaurant war bei der Ankunft geschlossen, es gab nur Getränke. Das „Nicht Stören“ Schild wird auf mehrere Arten ignoriert: Tag 1: trotz des Schildes wird angerufen, ob man Service benötigt. Ist ja nett gemeint, aber wenn ich von einem Nachtdienst komme nicht zielführend. Tag 2: ich war nicht im Zimmer, trotzdem wurde es gemacht trotz „Nicht Stören“ Schild Whirlpool / Spa ist nur gegen Aufpreis erhältlich (18€ für 1 Stunde) Das Frühstück war sehr gut und vielfältig.

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.

Séjour pour affaires. J’ai séjourné dans cet hôtel seul. Parking dans la rue devant ok. Entrée facile à trouver, Acceuil vraiment super. Accompagnement dans la chambre. Par contre chambre petite, mansardée, TV minuscule, et salle de bain pas propre en plus d’être à refaire. J’ai hésité à me laver.

The hotel itself was very nice staff were very friendly and welcoming. Some areas in my bathroom like

De foto's zien er hipper uit dan de werkelijkheid. Het hotel is toe aan een opfrissing. Wegens de rioollucht (nav onweders) werd me een andere kamer aangeboden. Meerwaarde 5de ster ? Het ontbijt bv is elders niet meer of minder. De ontvangst en hulp van het personeel is wel top.

Chambre pas au standard affiché, murs peu propres aux WC et chasse d eau dysfonctionante, prise électrique et lampe défectueuses, personnel absolument pas acceuillant, pas du tout au niveau des étoiles affichés, déçu.

Parfait. Bel établissement. Personnel aux petits soins

Spotless and really quiet.

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.

Spacious room, friendly staffs, easy parking

It is a nice hotel located outside the city center of Caen. Although listed as 5 star, it would be closer to 4 star in my opinion.

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.

Very nice small hotel not too far from the center of Caen. Room was comfortable with all amenities. Restaurant is fabulous!!

Everything about this hotel was wonderful. Incredible customer service, excellent breakfast, spectacular rooms.

Lovely hotel with excellent staff. Very convenient for touring Normandy. Need to replace some of the beds.

Overall good but rooms a bit old

From the moment we arrived the staff was outstanding. Friendly. Accommodating. I made an error in booking and they fixed it even though they didn’t have to. Parking is free and easy. The restaurant is incredible. The food, presentation and service were all next level. Next trip to Caen we will be staying here again. Thank you Ivan Vautier staff.

Bel établissement, calme Accueil est service exceptionnel Restauration vraiment top!

Excellent dinner and service if you are in the area it is a great place to stay or go for dinner. Really nice welcoming staff

Sejour tres agreable avec du personnel tres accueillant et bienveillant

C’est bien, les chambres sont en angles, il faut faire attention. Le quartier est tranquille, mais loin du centre-ville et des restos.

Hébergement bien entretenu et parking très pratique pour se garer.

Great 5* service and amenities, a Michelin rated restaurant and a parking. Another good reastaurant Villa Eugene in a walking distance

Ottimo servizio poco nelle vicinanze

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

The staff in the hotel and the restaurant were attentive, courteous and friendly. The rooms were comfortable and large. The dinner we had in the restaurant was excellent.

Very friendly and professional staff the restaurant is remarkable. The best we had in France.

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.

The Michelin Star restaurant met all expectations and more. Staff is 100% committed to making stay enjoyable.

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*.

Lovely hotel and restaurant and food was top class. Stayed and eaten there now a number of times
