Htel dArgouges Hôtel d'Argouges

It’s my first time in France. I spent a few days prior to coming to Bayeux in Paris. The small town is absolutely stunning. Quiet, calm, old feeling and very peaceful. The Hotel D’Argouges is so beautiful. Older building with all the modern comforts. It’s Autumn and the garden is still thriving with greenery and a few roses linger. The Hotel has a wonderfully helpful staff. Most of the staff I have encountered speak English. Which helps because my French is much worst than I thought. They have a breakfast offering in the morning that is delicious. The coffee was delightful. My room and bathroom are immaculate. I am very pleased with my stay so far…

We had a very nice stay at this beautiful historic hotel in downtown Bayeaux. Staff was friendly and all spoke fluent English, so we had no problems communicating with anyone. The official staff greeter, Gloria the beagle, was a highlight for us.
The breakfast in the morning was very good and served a mix of hot and cold items.
Location is central to the main downtown street in Bayeaux and we were able to walk to all destinations, including the tour bus pickup location as well as local restaurants.
Rooms retain that historic feel of the property but have renovated and modern bathrooms.
We really enjoyed our time here and in the town of Bayeaux and were sad to leave after only a few days. Highly recommend this hotel for your stay.

Pros: Loved it from the moment we drove in. Great location, great staff (shout out to Ice for her assistance and recommendations). Beautiful property (a converted 18th century home) with world charm. We were given a surprise upgrade to a larger room which was on the 3rd floor in the main building. Very clean and quiet. Fyi-there is no elevator. Excellent Wi-Fi. Bonuses: Free secured parking and a house dog named Gloria 😊.
Cons: For 15 eu expected a better breakfast. A kettle for tea or coffee in the room would have been nice.

The staff were exceptionally kind and welcoming. Most spoke perfect english as well, so it was easy to check in and ask for advice. Rooms have no AC and are quite old, but the price is affordable and the beds are fine. There's free parking in the back as well, and it probably doesn't fill up except in the busiest season.
Also 5 star rating just for the cute hotel dog, Gloria.

This hotel is all looks, no substance. Yes, the front looks impressive, yes, the breakfast room is very pretty. Apart from that, you get nothing.
The breakfast is the worst I've had in France — mini croissants and pain au chocolat that seemed to come straight from the freezer bag and scrambled eggs that resembled anything but. There's no personal touch at all.
We had a room in the annexe, where the door was fitted so poorly that you could feel the wind rustling through the gaps. It was around 7 degrees in the night, and we had arrived with damp bathing clothes that desperately needed to dry, but were told that they would only start up the heating on October 15th and we should dry our clothes in the launderette across the street. It's great if you do that in your own home, I do applaud you, but aren't you running a business here for paying guests?!
Miraculously, the second day the heating was on — I guess too many guests had been complaining.
The bathroom is apparently freshly renovated, and by an architect who apparently never had a shower in his life, otherwise I simply don't understand. Why is the shower without any partition, so you flood nearly the whole room whenever you shower? Why aren't there hooks or shelves for your things? And why, if the whole thing was renovated, is there still a hair dryer straight from a public pool in the 80s?!

I stayed at the hotel recently and it was a pleasant stay. The room was comfortable with fluffy towels and a really nice shower, despite being a century-old home. The entire hotel is charming and quaint, with a pleasant dining area and seating in the back garden which allowed us to enjoy the amazing weather amidst beautiful grounds. One word of caution for those who may have mobility issues: you must climb a flight of stairs to the entrance and to all the rooms in the main building. Our room was on the first floor, which was up about 4 sets of stairs if you include the entrance way. We had a lot of bags to carry — it took two trips — and there was no staff to help us, so that was a little bit annoying. However, once we settled in, it was not bad. Free parking is available on the grounds. The hotel is a little bit away from the main city center but it's only a short walk away from the majority of the shopping and dining, and there are also plenty of restaurants nearby. The young ladies on staff we very sweet and helpful, including Gloria, a sweet and attentive hound and the dog of the house!

My wife and I enjoyed our three-night stay here. The property has a lot of character, but also conveniences like parking. And it's very convenient to everything in Bayeux (which in turn is a great base for exploring the region). I'd highly recommend this hotel!

A fantastic holiday in Bayeux at this hotel. Professional and friendly staff and a wonderful location. Lovely room in the annexe (with a large walk in shower), free parking, hotel was very, very clean (they clearly work hard to maintain this standard), great gardens and interesting architecture in the grounds. Thanks to Frédéric, Ice, Celia and all the staff for a memorable stay, and, of course, to Gloria the Beagle (meet-and — greet dog) who made it all complete.

Positive: Friendly staff, historic property and good location.

We stayed here in June 2025. Our first impression was a beautiful building with lovely windows and pretty grounds. We stayed in the "apartment" unit with two bedrooms. They were very comfortable; a nice mix of a historic, old-world charm and comfortable modernity. The owner was so kind, helpful and friendly! He brought us fans when there was a heat wave. He was very attentive to each guest, checking in to make sure everyone had what they needed.
The setting for breakfast was really nice! The decorations in the dining area gave the impression of being in the past, as if you were transported back in time. The best part was the back area, with lovely huge trees, flowers and tables. It was wonderful to sit out there, order a drink, and relax with the occasional visit from Gloria the owner's dog.

My family and I stayed at Hotel d’Argouges for three nights. The hotel was delightful. Our room was bright and cheery with a renovated bath. We had wonderful weather while we were there and were able to take full advantage of the garden in the back. After a day of touring it was a treat to come back and sit in the garden and have a glass of wine, or in the children’s case, an orangina while petting the delightful dog, Gloria. The staff was very friendly and helpful with dinner reservations and even an optician when my daughter stepped on her glasses. Breakfast was a very friendly experience with the best coffee we had in France. I would highly recommend Hotel d’Argouges for anyone visiting Bayeux and Normandy.

Best service I have ever gotten at a hotel. The staff is all amazing and bilingual. Room is a good size. Location is great. Beds were comfortable. No AC if that's a must, but with the window open at night even during a heatwave it was fine. There are also stairs. I would highly recommend this hotel.

This is a charming boutique hotel in Bayeux, approximately a ten-minute walk from the Cathedral and the Bayeux Tapestry. Originally, an 18th-century manor house, you can feel the history as you walk the grounds and relax in the garden. The room was very comfortable with a large modern bathroom. A wonderful buffet breakfast is offered for a small additional charge. Highly recommended if you are visiting Bayeux and the nearby Normandy sites.

The staff at this hotel made our honeymoon an enjoyable experience. The hotel was very historic and lacked a few modern amenities, but the service we received was exceptional. The staff was very accommodating with our schedule change as well. The hotel dog (Gloria) was very cute and hospitable as well!

Stayed with our son in a 2 bedroom unit which was beautiful. It was very large suite and gorgeous design, very upscale. My husband said wow this is fancy. Staff was very nice. We did not eat on site but they did have the breakfast option. We stayed here in order to visit both WW2 sites and also Mont Saint Michel and it was a good location for all of that. Restaurants and shops nearby.

Wonderful historic hotel. Owner and staff welcoming and helpful. Rooms clean and comfortable. Staff helped us make restaurant reservations and taxi services. Their English is exceptional since my French is poor. Will stay there again when I’m in Bayeux!

The word that springs to mind when thinking of this hotel is superb. Frederic is the perfect host and made us feel very welcome. The staff too are really pleasant and helped us with any queries we had. The breakfast was a delight in a beautiful setting. We had a very enjoyable stay and should we ever be in the area again would certainly seek out this hotel.
