Pros:

Posizione perfetta per visitare il paese le l'isola pedonale.
Colazione veramente TOP ! Dal dolce al salato non mancava nulla.
Il ristorante non l'ho provato quindi non posso dare giudizi.

Cons:

Siamo arrivati in Normandia in un periodo molto caldo.
La camera era priva di aria condizionata e la finestra si affacciava sulla corte interna/ristorante (rumoroso in certi orari)

Cons:

A cena dal ristorante, uno dei più conosciuti della città, siamo stati un po maltrattati da manager poiché volevamo i formaggi prima e non per dessert. In maniera carina abbiamo risposto che ci tenevamo provarli subito e lei ci ha fatto presente in modo poco cortese che stavamo sbagliando e non ci saremo goduti la cena. Spoiler: i formaggi non erano così gustosi da coprire il gusto del resto.

Dejligt hotel vi gerne vender tilbage til. Perfekt til både D-dagsturisme og kulturferie.
Pros:

Boutique-hotel med dejlig tilbagetrukket og stille beliggenhed tæt på alt i Bayeux. Stemningsfulde bygninger, gode senge og en god morgenmad. Personalet var også både venlige, morsomme og høflige.

Cons:

Aircon ville have været rart, men vi sov fint med hjælp fra den dysonventilator, hotellet allerede havde sat til at køre, inden vores ankomst.
