The 31-room Le Lion d'Or hotel is set in the historical heart of Bayeux and housed in a charming period building, though it could use some updates in the common areas. Rooms are mostly fresh and modern with good amenities and contemporary bathrooms, however a few remain in need of a makeover. A lot of effort has gone into its restaurant and the lounge bar is cozy and inviting. All in all, it's a well priced and well positioned charmer with plenty of character.

Hotel Churchill is a mid-range, 32-room property with a particularly rich World War II heritage and large collection of related memorabilia. Set right in the historic center of Bayeux, its location is great for exploring the sights, while also making a good base for trips to D-Day beaches. Rooms can vary in quality, with some showing signs of age and even mustiness (all have patterned carpets and bedspreads). Rates too aren't cheap for what you get, so if you're not wowed by the hotel's history, you'll find better value at the nearby Le Lion d'Or.

The Hotel d'Argouges is a 28-room hotel housed in an attractive 18th-century townhouse in the center of historic Bayeux. Many of its traditionally styled rooms retain period features and somewhat dated floral decor, while bathrooms are more modern. The quiet garden and ornate breakfast room are particularly impressive -- though breakfast costs extra. As it's a historic property, the hotel lacks an elevator and some of the rooms have notably low ceilings. Overall, it's a well-positioned hotel with low rates -- but few amenities.

You'd be hard-pressed to find a better located hotel than the 23-room Hotel Reine Mathilde, set right in the historical heart of Bayeux. Rooms are chic and largely impressive for a value property -- though some are small -- and the annex rooms are particularly well finished. Its cozy restaurant is a pleasant place to relax, and the sun terrace is a real highlight. Overall this hotel more than out-punches its weight with the things that matter, and the rates are reasonable.
