Late lunch (club sandwich + fries) in the bar was good. Rouen has a lot of interest, which reception we’re happy to explain / offer guidance for visits, but as we were only over-nightingale we didn’t need any advice."

"Great stay at the Grand Hotel de la Seine. We had a quadruple room which worked excellently for 2 adults and 2 children. The room was clean and comfortable. The hotel is pretty quiet despite being near a busy road. We used the hotel parking which is quite tight in a big car but is really secure and OK so long as you take it slow! The location is convenient to walk into Rouen for sight seeing and restaurants and also to walk along the river. The staff were really helpful with check in and out. A great stay!"
