Four of us paid a visit to Bayuex for 5 days in July 2007. We wanted to visit the Normandy beaches again, as we had done last year.
We had difficulty booking two rooms in Bayuex for four nights and had little choice other than to choose the Hotel Grand Luxembourg. The hotel in in a good central position for walking around the town.
I'm afraid that this hotel is in urgent need of a good refurb and some TLC. The reception is tiny, staffed by people who I swear were struck dumb. They must have been under pain of death, if they spoke to visitors. My bedroom was dingy and smelt of cigarettes. The bar was so dark that you needed a torch with your drink to see what was in the glass. To get a Gin & Tonic without ice or lemon was common. If you asked for ice and lemon, you were a pain in the backside to staff. If you sat in the bar, you could wait for ages for someone to come from reception/kitchen to serve you. After the first two nights, we gave up and went out for an evening drink.
The breakfast was very reasonable and good value.
Overall, I would not return as I'm sure there must be better in the town.
As for Bayuex. It is a lovely town and with some nice places to visit and eat in.
