Hôtel Le Lion d'Or et Restaurant La Table du Lion

We stayed here during our stop in Normandy and loved it. Beautiful hotel with modern amenities in a great location for seeing historic sites. The breakfast buffet had a great selection.

After three weeks of touring Paris, Bayeux, Lyon and the Rhone River this was our favorite spot. We were there for two nights and it was a perfect little spot. The front desk staff and hotel were great and the town was charming. The staff catered to our every request for help as we speak NO French and helped with reservations and scheduling tours. The front desk does it all from checking you in to bartending their adorable little lounge area. It was so charming. A private tour of Normandy is well worth the money as well!

My wife and I recently spent two weeks in Paris, during which I carved out a bucket list visit to the D-Day beaches in Normandy. We had the good fortune of selecting the excellent and ideally located Hotel Le Lion D’Or for a restful two night stay in Bayeux. Our “Comfort Room” was well appointed, spacious, and comfortable - also very clean. The staff was uniformly accommodating and friendly. The hotel’s genuine and significant relationship with local WW2 history (look it up) was value added for me. We would book again in a heartbeat, and will if Bayeux is part of our next trip to France.

I can’t say enough good things about our experience: The rooms were clean and well appointed The service was superb The food - the dinner was exceptional; creative and good tasting food and high end staff. The breakfast was wonderful. Both had some local specialties- a real treat!!

My husband and I spent four delightful nights at Le Lion d'Or.|We loved everything about it. Our bed was incredibly comfortable, our room beautiful as well as quiet. Breakfast was a large spread of delicious foods (the pear tart is a must if available). The staff were warm and welcoming. Parking can be a bit tricky because so limited, but just plan on allowing a few extra minutes to sort things out if necessary. We can't wait to stay at the Lion d'Or again.

Very nice stay. The staff is very friendly. if you need English, all of the staff speaks it well (thank you from an American tourist) The room is very clean, large, and comfortable. the restaurant is very nice and breakfast offers a wide range of breads, cheese, eggs, meats, juice, and coffee. the location is at the edge of the town center with shops and restaurants steps away. it is very peaceful and quite even with the windows open. Never been somewhere in the middle of the city as quiet as this. very delightful stay, I would not consider another option than The Lion.

I stayed here for four nights in October with my husband and we couldn't wait til we got out of this hotel. I really don't like to leave such bad reviews but really just want to inform others about the condition of this establishment. We had a room on the top third floor. Our initial feeling was that the room is super tiny for two people staying for four nights. There was barely any room to walk around without bumping into each other. However, we had a great view from being on the top floor and thought we would probably have quiet nights. Well, we were so wrong. Every morning was a torture. We were either woken up by loud truck noises or guests chatting and in the courtyard area. The most unsatisfying thing was the bed. It was just straight forward uncomfortable and hard. We felt like we were sleeping on a hardwood floor. And the carpet was pretty crummy. The stinch! The room smelled like there was mold. It was worse after the cleaner came through. We had another couple of friends staying on the first floor and they didn't appear to have the issues we had. But if you are reading this review and planning on coming here, make sure you ask for anything other than the top floor. You also have to walk up three set of staircases. There is no elevator by the way. Yes this is nothing unusual in Europe but if you have heavy luggage, think twice about how much you can carry. The staff also insists they can help you by the way. The big advantage here is that they have covered parking spaces allotted for guests. You can reserve that in advance. That was the biggest draw for us since we came to town by car. Additionally, our friends really wanted to stay here because some notable people stayed here in the past. My husband and I didn't even know that until we got here but in hindsight really felt like perhaps this place was just banking on that aspect. Or maybe they just forgot that they have upper floors to maintain??? On a brighter side, the staff is courteous. I would not recommend this hotel based on our four night stay experience.

We booked Hotel Le Lion while in Bayeux, after a terrible experience at Moulin Morin (where we had initially booked 3 nights together with our friends). As we were on vacation, there was no point in suffering more than one night, so I looked for other options. From the many choices in Bayeux, after a careful analysis we chose Hotel Le Lion and it was the best choice! I felt sorry we didn't choose well in the first place and waisted money, time and ruining the vacation mood on Moulin Morin. |By comparison, Le Lion was worth every penny. I felt sorry we had to live after 2 nights, but we had a plane to catch. |To sum up: |Large, beautiful room, very clean, water and coffee machine in the room, also Dyson Cool in the room. High bed, very comfortable mattress.|All the staff was very professional, even better than at some 5 * chain hotels. It exceeded my expectations and I have high standards. Excellent breakfast, very diverse choices of cheese, meat, bread, sweets, a wide variety of fruits (from cherries to dragon fruit), almond milk. We booked the dinner at La Table du Lion one of the evenings: excellent food, impeccable service. In the morning, apart from breakfast, in the reception there were croissants and lemonade.|At the reception desk we received very good recommendations for things to do in Bayeux. Excellent stay, overall!!
