My main gripe--The "bed" was actually a sleep sofa that had been folded out--no real bed to be found. The lousy mattress was very uncomfortable to my 52 year old body, and the head slanted downward a bit, which made my gastric reflux worse. The room also had an unpleasant smell, kind of like mothballs or bug spray. It was very hot--we had an air conditioner, but could not figure out how to make it cool the room (or maybe it just didn't work). There was no one we could ask for help with the air conditioner, since the desk staff is only available for limited hours each day. And that would be another gripe--the lack of staff at the desk except for a few set hours--there should be someone available if there is a problem. Our room was fully paid for up front, but the lady at the desk told us we needed to pay a "tax" of 20 euro--she looked a little sheepish when she asked for it. My husband handed her 2 euro instead of 20, and she took it without protest. We thought this whole episode was a bit strange. During our trip to Europe, we stayed in 6 hotels, all paid for up front, and this was the only one that asked for more money from us. There was a HUGE spider on the ceiling in the lobby, which made me feel like I needed to check our room for critters. The location is OK if you have a car, but it did not look like a walkable neighborhood if you just wanted to step out for something to eat without dealing with transportation. If you are visiting the Normandy beaches, you could certainly do better with location--there are lots of small hotels at the beaches themselves. The only good thing I have to say is that the room was bright and appeared to be clean, with a refrigerator and a small balcony. There was parking available off street.

We stayed here for three nights while we explored the beachs of Normandy. There were two adults and three young kids. We had booked a 6 person apartment however the manager rang us a day or so before and said they had a problem with the apartment booked and gave us two apartments a 2 bed and a four bed in its place with ajoining door between both so it was fine, we had two bathrooms one with a shower and the four bed had a bath. There is free parking and the area around seems quite, there is a tram station justs meters away which will take you to town. the reciption closes completely at 7pm with no one on site. It is still possible to check in but you need to have contacted reception before they close and they will give you codes to get your keys for a safety deposit box, I met one person who had traveled from the Netherlands who was unable to get even in the door, I was able to give them the codes we had but without them they were in trouble as all of the contact numbers for the hotel were going to answering machines. So Please be warned as it not a position I would like to be in.
One issue we did have was there wasn't even a dust pan or brush in the appartements and with three young kids this is not on as you need some way of cleaning up the floor.

We stayed at the Appart'City Caen on a family vacation in March. We were in Normandy to explore the WWII beaches. We wanted to base ourselves in Caen and be close to the perimeter road so we can get to the other areas quickly and without the inner city traffic. The Appart'City was perfect for us. Being directly next to the perimeter ring road and the city tram we found the university area quiet at night and in a great location. We were close to a Carrefour grocery store and as we had a small kitchen in our room it was perfect for our dinner at the end of a busy day sightseeing. We paid the extra and had breakfast at the hotel before heading out for the day.
The only downside was the lack of good dining in the area in walking distance, but the tram to the city was convenient. The hotel had lots of travel information so you could choose your restaurant then choose your tram line to get there.
The staff were wonderful. They all spoke English which was hand for us Anglophones. Everyone was so helpful and made our stay most enjoyable.

Just got back from staying here over the D day landing anniversary weekend. Found friendly staff, nice clean apartment and pretty spacious even though we only had a one bedroomed apartment with the kids on the sofa bed. Nice touch was a little balcony which we enjoyed sitting out on late evening. Took a tip from other reviewer and took our own kettle which was handy. All in all good basic accommodation and good location for visiting all the areas of interest. Don't miss the American cemetery in Colleville!
