Hôtel d'Argouges

Gelegen in het hart van Bayeux, is de locatie perfect. We verbleven in een van de appartementen met twee aparte slaapkamers, wat veel ruimte bood. Prijs was een grote waarde. Ontbijten waren erg goed en hun tuin was een fantastische plek om te ontbijten, te ontspannen of een boek te lezen.

Schitterend etablis*****t, vriendelijk en beschikbaar personeel, met een stevig ontbijt. Ruime kamer, hoewel we een beetje verwarming op prijs hadden gesteld omdat het een beetje koel was. Ideale hotellocatie omdat het midden in het stadscentrum ligt, maar toch erg rustig is. Zeer goede tijd doorgebracht in Bayeux

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…

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.
