Reviews and Ratings
Staying at this hotel felt like having our own apartment in this charming city. The rooms were so spacious and beautifully decorated, offering a standard yet interesting choice of decor. The only downside was that breakfast was not included in the price, making it a bit inconvenient to find options in the off-season without spending extra. However, this seemed to be the norm at all the hotels we visited.
The hotel is truly a gem, offering a beautiful view of the cathedral and well-furnished, cozy rooms that are spotless and sparkling clean. It's without a doubt the finest small hotel my wife and I have ever stayed in during our travels. The service, though engaging and proactive, lacked a bit of personal touch at the front desk. The location is perfect, right in the heart of Bayeux with easy access to historical sites and charming streets. The dining experience was exceptional, offering a delicious and extensive menu, but at a slightly higher cost per person. Overall, a fantastic stay with some minor areas for improvement.
The hotel is ideally located near the Tapestry Museum and the Bayeux Cathedral, providing easy access to key attractions. The rooms are beautifully decorated, with spacious layouts and a charming balcony overlooking a lovely park. The service is exceptional, with attentive and friendly staff members. The dining experience is delightful, offering a variety of options to enjoy. Overall, a wonderful choice for exploring Bayeux and its surroundings.
I had an incredible stay at the hotel! The room offered a superb view of The Bayeux Cathedral, was clean, very comfortable, and well-appointed. It was spacious and pretty, overlooking rooftops, unlike many other places I've stayed.
I had an amazing stay at this hotel! The rooms were spotless and sparklingly clean with a lovely bed and bathroom, and they were relatively large by European standards, well-appointed, bright, and clean. The service was exceptional, with the front desk staff attentive and even going above and beyond to bring a DVD player and movies to our room for the kids. The location was unbeatable, offering beautiful views and convenient access to local attractions. The dining experience was delightful, with delicious custom omelets and crepes just around the corner. The facilities were great, making my stay even more enjoyable.
