Fodor's Expert Review Hôtel de la Cathédrale
12 rue St-Romain, Saint-Maclou-de-Folleville, Normandy, 76000, France
There are enough half-timber walls and beams here to fill a superluxe hotel, but the happy news is that this is a good budget option—even better, this 17th-century building is found on a narrow pedestrian street just behind Rouen's cathedral. The pretty Normand style begins in the lobby, extends to the large dining room—outfitted with grand 17th-century-style chairs and a historic fireplace—and crescendos in the flower-laden patio, a green oasis picturesquely framed with walls of timber and stucco. Guest rooms are petite but neat and comfortable; solo travelers get a small discount for a single room here.
