Does anyone have a recommendation for a hotel in the historic center that has on site parking besides the Mercure? Merci.

We stayed at an Airbnb so I can’t suggest a hotel but we parked in a very secure 24 parking lot Indigo Rouen La Pucelle in the city center.

I see you mentioned the Mercure. That’s where I stayed, and I slept so well there, plus it is so close to the nighttime light shows at the cathedral. Have a nice time in France!

thank you. so far that is the only one I found and I wanted something to compare it to. But it is reassuring to know you had a good stay there.

April 2024 I stayed at the Hotel Cardinal right in the square with the cathedral. I did take a taxi from the train station, so not sure about parking- maybe could check with hotel. I was very pleased with the location and convenience to everything. Happy Travels!

I stayed at the Hotel Cardinal in August 2023 and even though the location was great, they had no aircon, which I knew, but I exchanged email with them before I booked and they informed they had a fan. Unfortunately, when I arrived, they could not produce one. Luckily, I had my mini fan but it was brutal to try to sleep since the windows had no screens and the pigeons would come in the room. :(
Last summer we stayed at the Radisson Blu Hotel, Rouen Centre, 6-8 Rue du Donjon, which was awesome!
I believe they have parking.
We're returning to the Rad Blu in July for le Tour.

The new Hyatt has ample secure parking but if you're not a walker it's a bit of a hike to/from the historic center. See my review in the review section.

Is the Hotel Bonaparte still operating? It was very reasonably priced in a great location and offered limited parking that was inexpensive at that. However, the entrance was narrow and steep…they provided a diagram instructing you when to stop, cut the wheel, turn again and maneuver through the very limited space. I couldn’t handle it and sent my nephew to navigate while my husband drove. Like an old amusement park roller coaster. The breakfast was quite nice and the staff was friendly and the room was clean enough but in need of a little refresher decorating. This was some time ago. Safe travels.
