Sehr ansprechende Unterkunft zu fairem Preis.
Pros:

Sehr freundlicher Patron, gepflegtes Zimmer, mit Geschmack eingerichtet. Günstiger Preis für die Lage in einem der schönsten Flecken der Dordogne/Vezere.

Cons:

Leider war das Restaurant wegen längerfristiger Erkrankung des Kochs geschlossen. Es gibt aber sehr gute andere Lokale in fußläufiger Entfernung.

Delightful hotel with beautiful swimming pool; charming hosts who could not have been more helpful.
Pros:

Lovely hotel with a stunning little garden and swimming pool. Exceptionally kind and friendly hosts and just a really special and beautiful place. Well appointed rooms and walking distance of all the restaurants and museum etc of Les Eyzies. Being served delicious drinks by the beautiful little swimming pool was an absolute delight! Excellent breakfast.

Cons:

Nothing, really! The 'cozy' rooms are very small but that was to be expected!

Dordogne at its best.
Pros:

Der Bahnhof ist wenige Schritte entfernt, der kostenlose Parkplatz gleich gegenüber vom Hotel. Die Gastgeber sind hilfsbereit, zuvorkommend und sympathisch. Das historische Gebäude hat großen Charme und wird laufend sorgfältig renoviert.

An historic hotel of French prehistory.
Pros:

My son and I stayed three nights at the Cro Magnon Hotel. It was the center of our adventure to visit prehistoric art caves.

I chose this hotel because I stayed there 50+ years earlier on a similar themed visit, and I was not disappointed. It's quite an accomplishment to maintain and modernize an historic building and the current owners have done just that. (The hotel is built into the grotto where prehistoric cultural and physical remains were discovered; you can touch the actual stone wall of the grotto on the 2nd floor of the hotel).

Our stay felt very personal as we interacted with the owners each day and they were genuinely interested that our time in Les Eyzes was successful in every way. We are English speakers and encountered no language difficulties here. Also, this hotel is LGBTQ friendly.

The village of Les Eyzes was the center of discovery of prehistoric art in France. There are hundreds of prehistoric sites in the vicinity, including a few where you can enter the cave and see the originals. So, if you crave such a vacation, or even if you seek a few days escape in a beautiful part of France, this historic boutique hotel would be perfect for you.
