My daughter and I spent the night at the Hotel while visiting Normandy. Hey, I read it was Eisenhower's favorite hotel (not sure which Eisenhower, probably Ike, maybe his son?)
The rooms are quaint. The bed was comfortable. The climb to the room invigorating (no elevator). Breakfast was in a nice room; but, not really worth the 13€ in my opinion. Others have complained about the "hand held" shower. Our shower in room 36 could be hand held but had a bracket that it slipped into that held it at the proper angel, really no different from what I have at home so maybe they've updated that since the complaints. I appreciated having the tub.
The staff was helpful, pleasant, and professional.
There is a minibar in the room.
The free Wifi was unreliable on the top floor but seemed consistent on the second floor.
Parking in the courtyard was assigned and handy although maneuvering in the courtyard was tight.
The night we were there they had a big group dining and the gaiety of one woman who was VERY loud in the courtyard carried to our top floor room.
The Hotel is on the main street; therefore, the Cathedral and museums are easily reached by walking from the hotel. There were many restaurants nearby - unfortunately we were there 11/11/11 and it seems France closed for Armistice Day. We did find and excellent place just up the street (Le Drakkar - get the Pork cooked in cider although the chicken breast with the mushroom cream sauce was nice too).
It was fun looking through the old scrapbooks of the hotel.
I enjoyed getting to stay in a place that had been there when the American Army was there. I recommend Lion d'Or.

We stayed on our first trip to France, and were blown away by the prettiness of the hotel. Also ate at the restaurant, well worth it. Our room looked over the roof tops of the the local area, and was a picture in its self. THe staff were most accommodating, looking after requests without fuss or trouble. A genuinely nice place to stay

I stayed at this hotel for two night with my two teenage children and my parents. The hotel was very accommodating and friendly. I requested a room on the first floor for my parents which was great and the stairs were no problem for them. My children and I were on the top floor in a spacious triple with a lovely sized bathroom. The decor was charming and French. There is a cosy bar area downstairs which is great for a drink and complimentary nibbles before dinner. In terms of location it is really super for Bayeux and we were able to walk to all the main sites.

Had a fantastic stay at this hotel, its location is perfect for walking in to the town centre and visiting the tapestry.
Car park is a little tight but a godsend.
The food was excellent in the restaurant and the staff could not have been more helpful we were celebrating a birthday and they brought out the desert with candles without us asking.
Had a fantastic time will go back.
