Beauséjour 9 rue Pouchet tel 02.35.71.93.47, [email protected]. Good-value place near the main station (turn right as you come out), though once you're past the attractive orange facade, and the nice garden courtyard, the rooms themselves are on the plain side, even if they do all have TV, phone and en-suite facilities. Closed second half of July. €30–40Bristol 45 rue aux Juifs tel 02.35.71.54.21, fax 02.35.52.06.33. Clean, pretty little nine-room hotel, above its own small brasserie in a half-timbered house overlooking the Palais de Justice. All rooms are en suite, and have TV. €30–40 Le Cardinal 1 place de la Cathédrale tel 02.35.70.24.42, www.hotels-rouen.com. Very good value hotel in a stunning location facing the cathedral; the rooms have excellent en-suite facilities, and ample buffet breakfasts are served for €6.50. €40–55 Des Carmes 33 place des Carmes tel 02.35.71.92.31. Twelve-room hotel in a beautifully decorated nineteenth-century house in a quiet central square, a short walk north from the cathedral. "Normandy" breakfasts for €5.50. €40–55 De la Cathédrale 12 rue St-Romain tel 02.35.71.57.95, [email protected]. One of Rouen's most attractive and conveniently located hotels, in a quiet pedestrianized street alongside the cathedral, though the plain rooms themselves don't live up to the appealing facade and quaint old flower-filled courtyard. Buffet breakfasts €7.50. €40–55 Des Familles 4 rue Pouchet tel 02.35.71.88.51. Very friendly and characterful place, set back beyond a small gravel yard and a short walk to the right as you come out from the gare Rive Droite. €30–40 Du Palais 12 rue du Tambour tel 02.35.71.41.40. Very inexpensive central hotel, tucked away just north of the Gros-Horloge, offering stylish though not fancy en-suite rooms at unbeatable prices. €30–40 Sphinx 130 rue Beauvoisine tel 02.35.71.35.86. Very basic, even grim, accommodation, near the Musée des Antiquités, but this may be the only hotel left in Normandy where you can get a room for €15. None of the rooms has its own shower; instead you pay €2 per use. Under €30. Du Vieux Marché 15 rue de la Pie tel 02.35.71.00.88, www.hotelduvieuxmarche.com. Very modern place, set around a venerable old courtyard, just a toss of a match from the place du Vieux-Marché. A high standard of comfort has quickly made this the most popular upmarket hotel in town. €85–100
