Interesting building very close to town centre, Tapestry Museum, cathedral and plenty of places to eat out (no evening meal offered). Room and breakfast area clean and presentable. Hosts friendly - Séverine speaks English. Stair carpet getting a bit old and musty (there is no lift). Free public parking 2 or 3 hundred metres away. A few parking places being made on the site.

We stayed for 2 nights and enjoyed a wonderful stay. The room was well equipped and had a very large bathroom. Our hostess, Severine, was gracious and extremely welcoming. Highly recommend this lovely place!

Lovely property! We stayed in the carriage house and it was Lovely and spacious. Be sure to pay close attention to the email you receive the day of arrival. It had specific arrival directions/map that were quite helpful. We walked from the train station in the rain & it was no problem. Was also within walking distance to many restaurants

Charm in a quaint town
This charming hotel was just the right place to experience the quaint town of Bayeux. Severing made us feel so welcome and was very helpful. The continental breakfast was delicious and plentiful. I’d go back in a minute!

Lovely staff, Francoise and Severine, who are charming and welcoming to their guests. Breakfast at the communal table is enjoyable. Two minute walk from the cathedral, and five minute walk from the center of town, quiet and safe. We would stay here again.

The design of the building itself was beautiful and unique (old French charm). The rooms were a bit chilly, though. Tough adjusting the heat to proper temp.

The guesthouse is very charming. It is clean which is important to us. It is located close to shopping, restaurants and many historic places. The manager is very helpful. It includes breakfast which is along the lines of a continental breakfast. There are no hot choices. The only drawback is that check-in is between 5 and 8 pm. So if you arrive early you can leave luggage outside and walk around.

This is such a warm, inviting B&B right in the heart of Bayeux! The host is super friendly and spoke English. You can walk everywhere you need to go from the B&B with endless food and little shopping options. The room was spacious with views of the cathedral, and very quiet. Great place to kick off tours of the area! Breakfast was also delicious with homemade items!

A remarkable property, a great room, and a great breakfast. Extremely convenient to the town and to the tour origination stops. The only negative is the parking, but there is good street parking (free) about 100 yrds from the property. Highly recommended.

Very quaint castle like building. Very very old but much larger than any other hotel we stayed at in France. If you are looking for luxury and posh this might not be the place for you. Room is basic but charming and comfortable and adorably France. Gorgeous terrace with a stunning view of cathedral. Very central to Bayeux and walkable to everything including the meeting spot for all the tours. Host puts on an adorable breakfast every am that is included in your stay with coffee and yogurt and croissants etc.

Le Castel is perfectly situated in Bayeux to help you feel like you are right in the middle of everything. It is less than a block to the cathedral and another block to the tour losing zones. The personal touch on the breakfast was also delightful. The only consideration is to plan around the limited check-in hours.

When we walked into the lobby, there was a very strong smell of rancid garbage that permeated the house. Our room was small, but very clean. Our room faced the street which was extremely noisy. View was lovely. Staff was pleasant and helpful. Breakfast was okay, but less than expected.

A very friendly guest house with a warm welcome from owner Sévérine. Ample room, comfortable bed, good shower and excellent continental breakfast. Four minutes walk to the cathedral; eight minutes to the railway station. The 1937 architecture may look very gothic (almost Bates' Motel) but far from forbidding once inside.

Travelled alone and had a wonderful stay. Access code was provided for late check-in. There is limited parking and a €5 daily fee to park inside the gates but enough parking for free just outside. Cozy guesthouse and had a fantastic room with double bed and huge bathroom. Outside space is perfect for warm weather stays. Continental breakfast is included and served by very welcoming hosts. The guesthouse is situated in a great location with walking distance of all what Bayeux has to offer. Side trips to beach landings and cementaries are less than 30 min away. Overall great stay and great value. Would come again and recommended for anyone visiting on a budget. Request room 3 which has a balcony and good views.

Guest house in a great location about 400m from the centre of Bayeux. Very quaint building. A couple of problems with the room were rectified very quickly and everything was clean and well cared for. No parking available on site when we checked in but we found a space nearby.

This place ultra-convenient. You can walk to the train station and most of the best attractions Bayeux has to offer, like the Tapestry Museum and the Cathedral of our Lady of Bayeux. It is clean and comfortable and we were given a room on the highest floor with a great panoramic view. The staff is also super-friendly. The only word of caution I would give you is that it is not staffed around the clock. We got there late and had to call a number to be get access. Other than that, I would highly recommend it.

Beautiful guesthouse with owners who you can immediately tell take a lot of pride in their business and are always in a friendly, helpful mood. The location is superb if you want to stay in the older part of Bayeux but don't care to drive through old town to get to your lodgings. Parking is limited onsite but luckily there is 24 hour parking a very short walk away (with bovine security guards watching that lot to boot). We had neighbors that were a bit loud one night returning from the pub but other than that we really enjoyed our stay and would definitely stay again!

Lovely place, close to town, disappointment
OK this was not what we expected, the ladies that run this guest house are so sweet. That is the best thing about this place, oh and its so close to walking the town and the cathedral. Having said that, the bathroom lights did not all work, there was no towel for the floor.. and the floor was so slick from the shower. There was minimal towels too, I asked for an extra one and they just looked like it was the end. No bath-cloths which is an European thing. I had my own. The breakfast was ok, not exceptional but they tried. There was only one small public sitting area that we just happened to find. AND we had to PAY for parking, which I did not see anything about that at all in my reservation. So there was that. No airconditioning either, thank goodness the windows open. ITs an adorable WW2 town and we enjoyed walking to places. We just could not stay here again.
