“Average and not what is advertised”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 25, 2012

Great location for walking around Bayeaux and driving Normandy region. However, this hotel is as described by other travelers, dated and in need of attention. The shower rose position doesn't allow you to stand under it.
We booked with bookings.com and the hotel was supposed to have air conditioning and it does not.
It is in a quiet location but the beds need to be upgraded.

“Confusion with check in”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed April 23, 2012

When we checked in, the clerk at the front desk stated we had not paid yet. I had a computer print out of our paid receipt and gave it to her. Had I not had this, I'm sure we would have been charged again. Save your receipts!!

“Don't know what to say !”
2 of 5 stars Reviewed October 29, 2011

After a little confusion since reception was not in same hotel as we had booked our rooms, since they combine two hotels together, believe in order to cut the staff short and worst in the restaurant area, way short off staff, but have to give some credit to the cook since we had a great dinner and food was great even that we had to wait for a while for the service. Later in evening we ask for some local info for visiting the landing beaches and the Bayeux from the night receptionist, He is Normandy & d-day encyclopedia, we just followed his step to step guided tour and info. How ever the rooms were cold, dusty and badly need a new decoration, looks like they have been neglecting on investing in this hotel for a while.

“Decent hotel, location great, rooms small”
4 of 5 stars Reviewed September 30, 2011

I always forget when I travel in france that the rooms in old buildings, in the centre of a town are always smaller than 'modern' standards. But wait the rooms had on-suite, a TV, a double bed and there was a lift. The resturant was also of a decent standard and coped really well with the large group of people I was with.

Location is where this hotel wins, and it had a court yard for parking aswell. 150m down the road is Bayeux Cathedral. It isn't the best but for the price, and what we needed it for it was very good.

“Suited it's purpose for a short stay”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed September 20, 2011

Very basic facilities - The hotel is listed as a 3 star however I think it rates as a 2 star on reflection. The room was large and even had a balcony, the sheets an pillows had a musty smell and I suspect the room had not been used for quite a while, the bathroom was a good size and had been re tiled at some stage but the bath and shower were 70s throw backs and were crying out for replacement.
Separate WC also needed replacing but had been re tiled. Breakfast was continental and OK.
Bar was a 24 hr set up but staff were seemingly untrained and not that knowledgeable.
All in it was a convenient position in the town however I wouldn't hurry back to the hotel there as I think it needs a makeover and is starting to look very tired.
