Pros
- Smart, modern apartment-hotel with quirky interiors
- Central location a 10-minute walk from main train station
- Contemporary apartments with well-equipped kitchens
- Historic center within walking distance
- Breakfast, fitness, and laundry rooms
- Free Wi-Fi throughout
Bottom Line
The Adagio Caen Centre is an upper-middle-range, 120-apartment hotel set in the modern, and not particularly attractive, center of Caen. The picturesque historical center is just within walking distance, however, and it's easy access to and from the nearby train station. Apartments are smart and modern with excellent kitchens and bathrooms, though beds are a letdown. Overall, if you want self-catering close to the station at very reasonable rates, this place is a strong option -- just don't expect too much in the way of charm.

Scene
Quirky and contemporary new-build hotel
There's not a great deal to get excited about with the Adagio Caen Centre. Housed in a smart but characterless new-build on the corner of a busy junction, it's never going to be the most glamorous of hotels, but it does make some efforts to distinguish itself. Through the key-card controlled sliding doors a pebble-stone tiled hallway leads to a funky, curving reception desk and a lobby dotted with quirky molded-mesh furnishings, wood-log tables, and oddly drooping vegetation, all lit by sunlight though large windows and hanging tear-drop lighting. The interior design can all feel a little thrown together and some areas of the hotel don't feel particularly inviting, but the ambience is relaxed and pleasant enough if a little on the impersonal side.
Location
Set on a busy junction in center of Caen a mile from its historical heart
The hotel is located in the center of Caen at a busy junction overlooking the River L'Orne. It's not a particularly attractive part of town, and the immediate area can feel a little rough around the edges. Caen's main train terminal is just a 10-minute walk along the quay while most of the city center can be explored on foot. The city's historic center featuring the impressive Château de Caen and the Abbey of Saint-Étienne is a brisk 15-minute walk away, while the vast open green space of La Prairie is just a few minutes away.
Rooms
Smart, contemporary apartments with well-equipped kitchens but poor beds
The Adagio Caen Centre has 120 apartments, all of which are decorated in a smart, modern style with wood veneer floors and furnishings and large black-and-white photos of the city's historic architecture. Units are air-conditioned and generally spacious with well-equipped kitchens and nicely-finished bathrooms. Beds, however, are not particularly high quality and some doubles are two singles pushed together. Other standard amenities include free wired and wireless Internet, and flat-screen TVs with satellite channels.
Features
Breakfast, laundry, and fitness rooms
The hotel serves a buffet breakfast each morning in the room just off the lobby -- though it's generally not included in the rate. There is also a small fitness center as well as a laundry room with one washer and one dryer. Ample parking is also available on-site but is not free of charge.
