I'm a tour guide and when I visit Bayeux I could choose to stay in more expensive and more "atmospheric" accommodation but am reluctant to do so as my Customers who do, are often disappointed with the quality and service.

This Novotel is great - the staff are friendly, rooms clean and quiet and a short healthy walk from the town centre !! I don't recommend dinner there.....it is by no means "haute cuisine" but breakfast is ok although I wouldn't pay 15 Euros for it...

But as a friendly, quiet and clean place to say I highly recommend it !

We (3 of us ) stayed there 2 nights.
Very friendly staff at reception.
Nice rooms(size,cleanliness)
Breakfast little higher then expected, but the buffet more then enough,lot of choise.
Didn't have dinner at the restaurant,but the menu was diversified.
Would stay there again for a visit to Bayeux and the D Day beaches and historic sides.
Must see the tapistry of Bayeux.
Driving distances are short and the town can be done on food.

We stayed here for 3 nights while we explored the area, which mainly involved visiting WW II sites, although we did spend a little time in Bayeux itself. It's a bit of a walk into the town of Bayeux, but certainly manageable. The biggest plusses to the hotel were that it was a good base for seeing the WW II sites, it had free parking and it had free wifi in the rooms and lobby. The downside is that breakfast was not included and was rather expensive - 15 Euro per person for what I considered a somewhat limited selection compared to some other breakfasts I've seen in European hotels. The room was fine. We had a double bed as well as a pull-out couch. We both like the room to be very cold for sleeping and surprisingly the air conditioner in this room was working and we could make it as cold as we liked (we don't often find this in Europe). The toilet was in a separate little room from the shower. The receptionist when we checked in was very helpful and gave us maps and information about the area.

We stayed at this hotel last week for one night en route to Caen. As this was our second visit to this hotel we knew what to expect. This hotel is very convenient as far as location is concerned and the staff are very friendly and accommodating. The rooms are comfortable and spacious. The on site restaurant is very good as is the breakfast. I would not hesitate to book again. The outdoor pool is an added attraction.
