The charge of 9 euros a night for car parking was excessive, and so I didnt use it. (107345629)

positive comments Very clean, and convenient for town centre
negative comments Info in room stated that there was courtesy, complemntary tea available in the afternoon. In fact this was not correct , and was charged for.

David J from Westcliff-on-Sea, GB (Group of adult friends) 20 July 2009

The location was excellent for our purposes and on site car parking, although somewhat limited, was a real boon. The hotel was very clean and friendly. The facilities were generally good even if the rooms were a little basic. (107342096)

positive comments Staff generally very helpful. Bathrooms very nice. Rooms kept clean and well supplied e.g. soap, toilet paper etc. Beds very comfortable. Good breakfast available.
negative comments Rooms somewhat cramped and felt rather basic.

A hotel to avoid. (97389749)

positive comments Good location
negative comments Room was not available at indicated time (2pm). Then not available at the next 2 advised availability times (3pm and 3.30pm) Finally got room at 6pm. Reception staff (female) very rude and surly. No customer service skils. Room was very poor for a 3 star hotel costing E$120 per night. Bed mattress was old,soft and uncomfortable. Decor & fitings were was tired. Bed side lamp shade was broken ad light did not work. TV was old 14 inch TV and did not work. Toilet was dirty and smelt of stale urine. Overall very poor value for money and will advise friends visiting Normandy to avoid this hotel.

Kristine from Cedar Rapids, Iowa, US (Solo leisure traveller) 22 April 2008

I enjoyed my stay very much. I was travelling alone and do not speak French well, so I was grateful for the kind and helpful staff. I liked the location, as it was close to the center of town. I will most definitely stay here again if I am lucky enough to have the chance to do so. Thank you! (97590010)

positive comments Great location, most of the staff spoke English and the room was very nice.

Overall I was pleased with our stay but I found the hotel was a little short on staff and service. In the four days we were there I never saw the reception manned so always had to go over to the other hotel which meant I could never get a tray of tea or coffee for the room. The breakfast tables were never cleaned and relaid nor the breakfast buffet kept supplied with food without request which was irritating and time wasting in the morning. (3305198652)

positive comments Well equipped, clean bathroom. Period building in keeping with the area.

Cynthia from San Diego, United States;US (Family with older children) 07 August 2006

In contrast to some other online commentary, I found the staff to be extremely helpful and charming. While it is easy to be confused while searching for the hotel since the Best Western Luxembourg is just around the corner on the more traveled street, the entrance is well marked and visible. I would highly recommend this hotel to anyone, especially since its central location makes it easy to walk to all that one might want to see in the city. (3304767294)

positive comments The apartment we stayed in was very large and bright. The beds were most comfortable, and our children were delighted to have a separate bedroom.
negative comments I would suggest that the stairs be recarpeted. It would also be helpful to have written directions posted online for exit from the major highway (the N13) that comes into Bayeux.

We were allocated what appeared to be lesser quality rooms - they were right at the top of the hotel with only small windows to open. It was extremely hot! One of the guests is registered disabled and can only walk with a stick and finds stairs very difficult. We booked this hotel because it has a lift. When we checked in we were told the lift only went up to level three (our rooms were on level 4). I said we really needed to be able to access the room from the lift, and the receptionist said it was only a few stairs and would not be a problem! In actual fact it was a full flight of winding stairs through two fire doors, which proved rather onerous to say the least. If we had been staying for more than one night we would have complained most strongly and insisted on a more suitable room. It would appear that the rest of the hotel had been booked out to a group of Germans for an overnight visit - this also meant that the restaurant was closed that night. We had the distinct impression that our requirements were not given the same importance as those of the German guests! (3304673234)

negative comments Room very small at top of hotel - not the same standard as the rest of the hotel.

negative comments the rooms were renovated but the corridors and reception were rather old. The roomprice (100E per night) was rather high for what you get.

negative comments Check in was completely non existant you had to go to the hotel next door to check in but there was no notice informing you of this. The member of staff a young girl who showed us to our rooms was surly, rude and very unhelpful no assistance was offered with the luggage even though two of the party were elderly ladies .The reastaurant food was good and service good until coffee and liquers which seemed initially to be a problem. The check out was totally incompetent as my bill could not be located and delayed our departure

No-one on reception when we arrived and no bell to draw attention to presence. Rooms available at the back of hotel, where no traffic or building, so you could open windows. If parking is full, then pay and display car park next door, free on Sundays and after 6pm, but cannot park all day there. Map showing one-way system and parking in town is first 15 minutes free, so time to sort out your reservation at the hotel (2679830)

It is a nice hotel in a very good location and represents great value for money. If possible I would recommend a room at the back of the hotel as the front is on a semi-busy street. Staff are friendly and helpful. (2432217)

The room was okay, exactly what it looked like in the pictures. The bed and carpeting seemed old though. I wouldn't have stayed here for much longer than a weekend. However, for the time we were there it was a perfect location. When we interacted with the staff everyone was extremely friendly and helpful. The people we dealt with all spoke English very well. (2545610)

positive comments The area is excellent. It is right off of a main street where all of the shops and restaurants are. Also it is about a 15-20 minute walk to the train station. Perfect location!
negative comments There was nobody at the front desk during check in or check out and we had to wait several minutes until somebody finally arrived. Also we had to go down to the front desk to have our phone turned on in order to use it.
