Radisson Blu Hotel, Rouen Centre
We had a beautiful room with the tower just off our balcony. The room and bathroom were bigger than we had expected. It was close enough to walk our luggage to the train station and also walk into the centre of town. A very nice stay.

Grand Hôtel de la Seine
Modern hotel, good location, but bathroom needs a little renovation. Very reasonable rate for underground parking.
