How can I get cheap hotels in Rouen?

Best tips to find a cheap hotel in Rouen

  1. If you're looking to travel to Rouen on a budget, you'll be happy to know that you can find hotels for as low as $48. Of course, that price is affected by amenities, star rating, and even the time of year you visit. At most, hotel prices can be as high as $109. Staying a short amount of time in Rouen is an effective way to reduce hotel costs.

  2. When you cut your vacation down to just a few days, you don't have to worry as much about hotel prices since you don't have that many nights to stay. For budget hotels in Rouen, 3 to 4 days should be all the nights you need. That's generally enough to enjoy the city's top attractions, though there's certainly enough to do to warrant a week-long trip.

  3. When booking cheap hotel rooms in Rouen, it's typically best to book about 3 weeks in advance. Book further in advance than that and you could be paying too much for your room, as hotels will often overestimate future demand. However, if you wait too long, you might find that the hotel has been completely booked.

  4. When you utilize search filters on Expedia, you'll be able to narrow down your results in a flash. These search filters cover a wide variety of factors you may be interested in when it comes to finding a cheap hotel in Rouen, including amenities such as Free Breakfast, 2-star rating, or proximity to local attractions. You can even set filters for price limits to ensure that all the displayed results are within your budget.

Top Rouen Hotel Reviews

B&B HOTEL ROUEN Centre

B&B HOTEL ROUEN Centre

8/10 Good
"The hotel is in the less historic part of town on the other side of the River Sienne, not very pretty and quite commercial, lots of fast food outlets and a thriving African community, some lively bars and pubs playing some great Afrobeat. The hotel looks over a huge shopping centre, however it’s also next to a large and very beautiful cathedral on the square, ask for a room on the top floor with a view of the church, spectacular as the sun was setting. The hotel is pretty basic but it is what it is, a bit tatty around the edges, could do with a few repairs, chipped and scuffed wood, lick of paint etc. But the main thing was that it was clean, the bed was big and comfortable and the staff were very friendly and helpful and most importantly, it was cheap!"

Couples can begin their adventure by simply strolling through the historic Old Town, admiring the half-timbered houses and soaking in the medieval ambiance. A highlight is the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Rouen, a magnificent Gothic masterpiece that inspired Claude Monet; its intricate facade is a sight to behold both day and night. Nearby, the Gros Horloge, an ornate astronomical clock spanning a street, is another must-see architectural marvel.

For a moment of quiet reflection, the Aître Saint-Maclou, a former ossuary with unique carved wooden columns, offers a poignant glimpse into Rouen's past. Art lovers can follow in Joan of Arc's footsteps, visiting the Place du Vieux Marché where she met her fate, marked by a modern church and a cross. Additionally, many of Rouen's public gardens, such as the Jardin des Plantes, provide beautiful settings for a romantic walk or a relaxing picnic, offering a tranquil escape from the city bustle.
