How to get the view
Rouen has few true "river-view" hotels, but several sit right by the quays. The trick: book a quays-side hotel early and request a Seine-facing room at booking and again before arrival. During the Armada, these rooms are the first to go — and the most memorable.
Where to look
Aim for hotels along or just behind the right-bank quays, between Pont Flaubert and Pont Corneille — the heart of the ship line-up. Compare live prices below (map centred on the quays).

Frequently asked questions
Can you see the Armada ships from a hotel room?
Yes, from Seine-facing rooms in hotels along the right-bank quays — book very early and explicitly request a river-facing room.
