ibis Bayeux Port En Bessin

We stayed at the Ibis,initially for 3 days but this became 4 due to storm Ciaran. the staff could not have been more friendly and helpful with the unexpected extension. The room was immaculate and well serviced. The breakfast buffet was great value and very well stocked and attended to. the car park is secure and easy to get to. The hotel is right on the quayside of a busy and lively fishing port. If you understand this, then the room with a balcony is the one to get,so you can watch the fishermen at work while you have a glass of cidre!

The room had a wonderful view right out onto the boating canal and we had a table and chairs on the balcony. Breakfast was exceptional. And never were we rushed. The car park at the back of the property was very convenient, reached by elevator, which was especially nice for me as I walk with a cane. We were a short distance to the town. We drove to the handicapped parking near the port and walked. Many restaurants and shops and we enjoyed the weekly market. Shopkeepers were very friendly. Our French was limited, but everyone was very accommodating.

Great location for Bessin. Easy parking. Good selection of restaurants and coastal walks virtually on the doorstep. Also memorial to 47th Marine Commandos who took Port-au-Bessin near the end of the second world war at great loss to themselves.

We had a great time in this area. The staff was amazing. So friendly and helpful! I would for sure come again! I also enjoyed the morning breakfast. Fresh and tasty. The only issue we had was that the beds were not comfortable ( we asked for additional comforters to add cushion on the bed.)The bathroom did not smell good. Not sure if it’s the pipes but even after the young lady cleaned the room the bathroom just smelled bad. But even still I would return and hope for a room with better beds and bathroom that had no smell.

Good choice. Very tasty breads and good coffee from the self service machine.
