Grand Hôtel du Luxembourg בבאייה

Recently renovated with very appealing interior design. Room was small but adequate. No mini-fridge. The one problem we experienced was night time noise from occupants of adjoining room. Wall construction and door installation were not adequate to block voices and snoring. Might not be a problem with other room assignments?

We spent three nights in early April. The hotel is clean with modern updated rooms. The room size was ok and the free wi-fi was easy and fast compared to others. The breakfast buffet was quite expansive and well worth the 10 euros. Only scrambled and hard boiled eggs but lots of meats, juices, fruits, cereals and breads. The service staff were pleasant, polite and for the most part efficient. Now the issues that keep me from returning: We have mobility issues so the lift is important and they have one. The problem is that you must still navigate 3 steps after you get off the lift. Three steps may not seem like much unless you have issues. I asked and was told that they do not supply wash cloths as "it costs too much". I used a t-shirt, but it irritated me that this is where they would cut costs. That's just being cheap. They have a bar and it looks nice. Trouble is, they rarely have a knowledgeable person to operate it. The dog is beautiful and friendly, but has no manners. It will not stop trying to play with you if you show it any affection. In my opinion, the four negatives are big enough for me to suggest you look somewhere else.

We had 5 amazing days in this hotel centrally located and within walking distance of magnificent cathedral and the fantastic Bayeux tapestry. Eat from great range of patisseries and boulangeries for lunch and wide range of restaurants in evening. Huge amount of history and people very pleasant and helpful.

We arrived on a Saturday in the early afternoon. Initially we were pleased with our room and the hotel. However, the hotel staff did not warn us that it was a holiday and that all restaurants were heavily booked. We went out walking and as we stopped into many many restaurants we were turned away. We saw other visitors with the same problem. Eventually we had to settle for a Subway sandwich back in our room. I felt that the staff should have advised us of this when we checked in so that we could have decided on a better plan for dinner. The town is very picturesque and the hotel is nice retro but they need better customer service.

Inner-town hotel relatively difficult to get to. Not all that close to the town sites or restaurants. Parking not available when we arrived - had to find our own, several blocks away.
