Modernity and comfort, punctuated by a few literary notes, provide the guests the time to dream or read.

Just 10 minutes from the cathedral Notre Dame of Rouen, the Hotel Gustave Flaubert shares with us his passion for the author of Madame Bovary and Salammbô.

The location of the hotel is very nice, just off one of the main squares in Rouen, and just 50 meters from the main tourist street.

I was satisfied with the room, and can agree with what other guests have written, that the beds were very comfortable

I also really liked the atmosphere of the hotel, and the theme it was kept in. As I was staying before Christmas, the staff had made a big effort to make it a nice and cosy place.

This was especially true for the breakfast, where the tables and the buffet itself was decorated really nice. I also enjoyed that the breakfast contained a lot of local and interesting products.

Finally I would also say that the gym in this hotel is really well-equipped, and especially if you take into account the size of the hotel again.

I would definitely recommend this hotel, and will stay here again if I am returning to Rouen!

This hotel is squeezed onto a side street of delightful Rouen, perfectly placed for walking and exploring the city. If you have a car, beware that parking is tricky — it is free but you must arrange with hotel beforehand and then, at the pedestrian-only gate, call for a code to allow you to drive to the hotel. Rouen is fabulous tho, with lots of good shopping, interesting restaurants and history everywhere you look. It is a great city for a 1-3 stopover.

The hotel is very nice with spacious enough rooms, modern bathrooms and an excellent buffet breakfast that costs extra but is worth it. Hotel staff were extremely helpful and responsive to our needs.
