Hôtel d'Argouges

This is the perfect hotel in Bayeux. It is a short 10 minute walk to the Cathedral and downtown area. It has old world elegance downstairs with tapestries on the wall and chandeliers. The garden in the back is beautiful and relaxing. There is a full breakfast that we also enjoyed. The staff is all friendly and very helpful, including Gloria the dog. The room has a modern bathroom. It is an excellent value for the price.

Great location, friendly staff, spacious family apartment. Our room was right by the front door so it was a little loud at nigh. But otherwise it was great! Highly recommend.

This hotel breaks every notion of a bad experience in France. They have worked around our schedule, let us relax in the lobby after our stay was over, made dinner and cab reservations, tried to get the car rental company to do their job. Ive is a real go getter, never slows down, go go go. When Eva was not letting Gloria in and out, she ensured every guest who checked in was informed of all the services available. Breakfast, evening bar. Every one made an English only speaker like me feel right at home. We got in late the first night and Lisa pointed us to a late dinner at a wonderful place. I think I had one of the best gin and tonic ever. This place is the perfect place to visit Normandy from. We miss the famous tapestry (maybe come back to see it) it is in London on loan.

Would you stay in this room? Room 13 is suitable only for storage. It does not match the description or pictures on the website. Quite awful. Small, characterless, unromantic and via opaque windows your view is completely obscured by the back of a shed. No water, kettle or complimentary tray. Damp toilet paper. If you make a complaint, do it immediately. Otherwise the hotel will refuse to compensate you and will ignore subsequent correspondence. Don't book Hotel d'Argouges in Bayeaux. Your romantic stay may well be ruined.

We stayed at this hotel in October last year as part of our road trip to the Loire Valley. The property is truly stunning, resembling a small château discreetly tucked away from the main street in Bayeux. Rich in history, the hotel retains many beautiful period features, particularly in the guest rooms, which add greatly to its character. The rooms were very quiet, and we had a wonderful nights sleep. The hotel staff were exceptionally helpful and welcoming, and communication was easy despite our limited French. Adding to the hotel’s charm was a delightful small dog who happily followed guests around. In the evening we went for a walk into the centre of Bayeux which was around a 10 minute walk where there were plenty of places to eat and drink if you wanted to go exploring into the town instead. Breakfast the following morning was thoroughly enjoyable, with a wide and varied selection available. As we were travelling in a classic car, we also greatly appreciated the secure off-road parking provided in the inner courtyard, which offered both convenience and peace of mind.

It’s my first time in France. I spent a few days prior to coming to Bayeux in Paris. The small town is absolutely stunning. Quiet, calm, old feeling and very peaceful. The Hotel D’Argouges is so beautiful. Older building with all the modern comforts. It’s Autumn and the garden is still thriving with greenery and a few roses linger. The Hotel has a wonderfully helpful staff. Most of the staff I have encountered speak English. Which helps because my French is much worst than I thought. They have a breakfast offering in the morning that is delicious. The coffee was delightful. My room and bathroom are immaculate. I am very pleased with my stay so far…

Staff was friendly and VERY helpful! Wonderful accommodations! VERY COMFORTABLE BED! The location is on the main street and close to cathedral and tapestry.

Truly amazing, great rooms comfortable, warm and all the amenities you really need. The service was superb and truly enjoyable and attentive to all our needs! Close to everything with free parking. Upscale feel within a budget! Absolutely recommend this hotel! Frederick and the team was top notch! Thank you we will be back soon! Allie and Chicca!

This hotel is all looks, no substance. Yes, the front looks impressive, yes, the breakfast room is very pretty. Apart from that, you get nothing. The breakfast is the worst I've had in France - mini croissants and pain au chocolat that seemed to come straight from the freezer bag and scrambled eggs that resembled anything but. There's no personal touch at all. We had a room in the annexe, where the door was fitted so poorly that you could feel the wind rustling through the gaps. It was around 7 degrees in the night, and we had arrived with damp bathing clothes that desperately needed to dry, but were told that they would only start up the heating on October 15th and we should dry our clothes in the launderette across the street. It's great if you do that in your own home, I do applaud you, but aren't you running a business here for paying guests?! Miraculously, the second day the heating was on - I guess too many guests had been complaining. The bathroom is apparently freshly renovated, and by an architect who apparently never had a shower in his life, otherwise I simply don't understand. Why is the shower without any partition, so you flood nearly the whole room whenever you shower? Why aren't there hooks or shelves for your things? And why, if the whole thing was renovated, is there still a hair dryer straight from a public pool in the 80s?! We wanted to have an apero in the evening, but while we could order some drinks, there was a shrug and 'we don't do that anymore' when we tried to order some food from the menu. Please overdo the menu then? If you don't want to sit on the bed, there's absolutely no room to do something else. Also, true to a mediocre three star hotel, there's neither a kettle nor a safe. And no wardrobe. I was rarely so blinded by a few pretty pictures.
