The rooms at Le Lion d'Or were quite shabby for the prices charged. The first thing I noticed upon entering the room was the low bed that was sinking in the middle, although you could not feel the depression when you lay in the bed. The linens were not of the highest quality and the size of the room was... More

We were very disappointed in the hotel Lion d'Or. Our guide, Mrs. Nicole Sarda, recommended this hotel because many famous World War II generals and "celebrities"stayed there. I am convinced she must get a kickback from the hotel. This was the beginning of her BAD ADVICE! Unfortunately, this hotel has not been renovated since Eisenhower stayed there in 1944. The... More

The Le Lion d'Or is a clean, order, B&B type hotel. The location is excelent for D Day and Mont Saint Michel trips. The breakfast buffet was fine - we did not eat dinner at the hotel. Our room was clean, and the bed was very comfortable. There are plenty of places to eat and shop near the hotel. The... More

My son & I shared a room here for a Normandy tour. While centrally-located for the overall battlefield, the hotel is about 30-45 minutes for the American areas. Bayeux is a lovely town and the hotel has a central location on the old town. The room was nice without being anything special with the usual division of the shower and... More

Yes, this hotel is dated and in need of some major renovating (they were in the process of renovating the dining room during our stay), but overall we had a great experience there. The customer service was always helpful, especially since we were traveling with a one-year-old baby. We ate breakfasts at the hotel (they require you to choose one... More

Being history enthusiasts, this was a fun place to stay. Enjoyed all the autographed photos of a wide variety of "celebrities." This is not a hotel to stay in if you are at all physically challenged. We had a room on the third floor. The gentleman who checked us in carried our heavy luggage up to our room. It is... More

This hotel had been recommended to us as "a romantic old hotel". Yes, the location in Bayeux is excellent, and the staff is friendly. Our tiny room, so small that only an old-fashioned classic double bed would fit in, was not romantic. Nor was the threadbare (literally!) carpet on the stairs, and the 2 wooden chairs with sagging cane seats... More

The Lion d' Or is a hotel that rests on its laurels,I think. Many famous people have stayed here over the years and the hotel likes to tout this. Although the public rooms are well appointed and charming, the hallways, guest rooms, and bathrooms are dismal. One disconcerting feature was lack of illumination in the hallways even at night. In...
