ibis budget Bayeux is the budget pick in this guide. It stands in the business zone at Nonant, on rue des longues haies, and the hotel group lists it as a two-star hotel about three kilometres from the historic centre of Bayeux, roughly ten minutes by car. Rooms are simple and compact, about twelve square metres, with an en suite bathroom, a private toilet, air conditioning and free wifi, and four types: double, twin, triple with a bunk bed, and a family room for four. There is a free private car park with an electric car charging station, which closes from 23:00 to 06:00, and a secure garage for bikes. A buffet breakfast starts early, from 6:00 on weekdays, which suits early tour departures. It suits drivers, budget travellers and families who want a clean base and plan to spend their time outdoors.
Location and getting around
Nonant is a few kilometres from the centre of Bayeux, so you will drive or take a taxi into town for the cathedral and restaurants. The hotel suits car travellers, and the free car park is a big plus in a region where parking in town can be tight. The D-Day beaches, Arromanches and the museums are all within a short drive. Meeting points for tours in Bayeux itself are about ten minutes away.
The rooms
Four types, all with an en suite bathroom, private toilet, air conditioning and free wifi. Double and twin rooms are about twelve square metres, so they are small, and the triple room adds a bunk bed to a double. The family room sleeps up to four with bunk, double and single beds. Do not expect space to spread out; the idea is a good night's sleep at a low price.
Who it suits
Budget travellers, families and groups who will be out all day and mainly need a bed, and drivers who want free parking. It is less suitable for those who want to stroll into town in the evening or who need quiet and atmosphere.
Good to know
Breakfast is a buffet served from 6:00 to 10:00 on weekdays and from 7:00 to 11:00 at weekends, and some guests find the hot choices limited and the room busy at peak times. The car park gate is closed from 23:00 to 06:00. The hotel is on an industrial estate, so the surroundings are functional.
