L'escale du Gros-Horloge, une parenthèse prestigieuse au coeur de Rouen

This apartment and its facilities are heartily recommended. It's situated in a small street, brightly decorated by local tradespeople. Generally, pretty busy during the day but surprisingly quiet as evening comes in. Only once, did we hear any amount of noise in the evening and as France were trouncing Norway 4 - 1, they had a lot to cheer about! We wanted to travel during the stay and our only problem was parking (plenty of spaces but none free or cheap) but if your trip is without a car, you'll love it. Most of the main buildings are closeby, the Cathedral is quite magnificent. As a football fan, I was pleased to be able to watch most matches, either on the (large) TV in the apartment or at one of many local bars. The weather was great, to boot!

Excellent location. Calm and stocked with all you need. Not for anyone who has difficulty with stairs.

😊: Fantastic apartment and location. 😢: Spoilt by appalling communication and their deposit system. Still wait for my GBP deposit it 509 pounds. 6 weeks later. Ignoring messages..

😊: The central location was excellent. The large apartment was lovely and well-appointed. The bed and sheets were very comfortable. The staff was very communicative and friendly.. 😢: I found it a bit odd to have to register on a separate website after booking to put down a security deposit of EUR 500 on my credit card. The fact that a security deposit was required was noted on the listing, but not that it would be handled on a separate (to me unknown) platform and not via Booking.com. I found this procedure puzzling, particularly since I've never encountered it before during all my years as a loyal Booking.com customer. As noted on the apartment listing, be aware that the stairs to access the apartment are very narrow and steep, particularly the first flight. And as is the case with many older European residential buildings, the entryway and stairs are rather shabby. But rest assured... the apartment interior is lovely..

😊: We loved the location and the apartment itself. 😢: We understand we are in Europe, and in the historic district. This is the 4th apartment we have rented on this trip through Italy and France. The communication was delayed but quite a lot of time. There are daily city taxes, which is fine, however not mentioned in listing of properties. Then I was told I needed to pay a $500 deposit. Again, we are ok with all of this, just not clear. The worst part was the two NARROW CURVED staircases do if you are elderly this will not be easy to manage. Also, we were given instructions to that someone would meet us to do an inventory that we would receive a check out email and none of this happened. We left the apartment immaculate figured out where to dispose of the trash. Just things to be aware of when you book but should by no means stop you from booking.

If you are visiting with kids, it’s not the best place to be, suitable for couples with no kids, in the heart of the city literally, a lot of noise, nights are not calm at all, so better hang out and party till 1 am with everyone, get drunk then go sleep :p. Appartement is super nice, entrance stairs are really narrow and dangerous you can fall and actually get hurt if you don’t pay attention to your steps.
