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...

An older building with character. Clean and well presented. Lovely place close to centre of Bayeux. Friendly staff. Good dining room. Excellent evening meal, well worth that bit extra. Continental breakfast. Restricted parking, best to book at 9€ per night. Would visit again

Stayed for one night at the Lion d'Or whilst on a driving holiday in Normandy and Brittany. The hotel is ok for the money we paid. As other reviews have stated it is in need of a little TLC here and there and the massive stain on the green fabric wall as you climb the stairs does nothing for the... More

Wonderful room, staff, location. Biggest and best...and least expensive...room we had in France...three nights here...not enough! Pretty, clean, bidet, and separate bath (and shower)...view was delightful..nothing more we seniors could have asked for...a definite "will do again". And then you get the lovely town and area explore, normandy tours...hey Ike liked it and so did we!

I've just had a family holiday in Normandy staying at the Lion D'Or. The choice of dishes at dinner is extensive and all the ones we sampled were superb. The salt marsh lamb was out of this world.. Having pre dinner drinks and coffee in a lounge surrounded by photos of the great and good who have stayed there was... More

My teenage daughter and I stayed here for a few days and had a very nice time! The breakfast was perfect, the rooms were clean, nice sized and warm, and the location was perfect for D-day beaches, and okay for Mont St-Michel. The staff was extremely helpful on both email and in person, and they made every effort to make... More

We stayed for 3 nights, the staff is very helpful and friendly, and the hotel is perfectly located to visit the town of Bayeaux, but also for day trips out to the beaches. We didn't try the restaurant as we chose to eat in town, but it was always packed full! Highly recommend this hotel for a mini-break in the... More
