This hotel is a very old building. As a consequence there is quite an intricate system of corridors, elevators and stairs to get to your room. When I eventually arrived at my room, I was very pleased to see that the loft room I was given was larger than I expected. Everything was as good or better than expected. As usual, pillows were a bit too soft, but the bed had a perfect firmness. As often is the case in continental Europe, the windows are not the thickest, so there is a bit of noise from outside, but you must at least be more sound sensitive than I am to be annoyed by it. Location is very central, as the near the university as I could get. Staff is friendly and helpful. Breakfast buffet had slightly more options than I would expect in France, but not enough to consider it an attraction. It was nice to have my own Nespresso machine in the room. There are no doubt cheaper hotels in Rouen, and I cannot say if they are more worth it. Hotel de Bourgtheroulde is a safe choice if it fits your budget and you are not mobility impaired.
