The hotel offered parking just outside of the entrance. There were only a few spaces but as there were not many guests this was not an issue (check if you are traveling in peak season though). The staff was friendly although they didn't speak much English. The room was spacious and had amenities (boiler, tea, coffee) so we could have a drink in our room. The breakfast had a good selection (not very wide, but more than we expected) and the quality was good. The location was also good (city center) meaning it was a short walk to various restaurants and bars.

The only minor thing was that it was a bit confusing how the bar worked. This was staffed by the receptionist, but was basically empty when we were there. This was also where you were supposed to get hot drinks during breakfast, but because this wasn't explained (nor were we asked when we sat down for breakfast) we ended up without any hot drinks. It's a minor inconvenience, but good to be aware of.

This hotel was perfect for our family as we travelled home through France, from the reserved parking place and the warm welcome at reception, to the superbly comfy beds and excellent breakfast. The location is lovely - right in the centre of Bernay, near a bakery, restaurants, plenty of interesting shops and the river.

Just a tiny suggestion - the bathroom could have done with some towel rails and a hook on the back of the door.

The Hotel Le Lion D’Or has an old world charm and customer service wholly lacking from modern hotels. It’s in a lovely small village, centrally located in Normandy, with excellent restaurants and necessary shopping within a few short blocks. Train stations is also in walking distance. Locals were very friendly and helpful. The rooms are small, but the beds are comfortable. I would welcome a longer stay.

Carpets could use updating.

Perfectly nice hotel in the old center of Bernay. Simple but clean room and very friendly ladies at the reception. Better breakfast facilities than we had in some 3 star hotels on our trip. Also very pleased about the private parking. Eating out tip: Chant d'ivresse, a much, much better and far more original option than all the average brasseries you tend to find just about everywhere in France.

Just one detail about the shower, a simple but very effective way to avoid water splashing, would be to move the wall and facilitate entry to the shower on the right instead of the left side (room 29).

Comfortable room with wardrobe. As a "genius" member of booking.com, breakfast was included in the price. It was very good and although I don't eat gluten there were plenty of other options including yoghurts, fresh fruit, fruit pots, eggs and gluten free madeleines. The parking was private and free. Being in the centre of Bernay made it easy to walk to the restaurants. The staff were very obliging and friendly.

I think overall the place could do with a refurbishment. Fittings were looking a bit "tired" as were the carpets. It didn't spoil our stay though.

Breakfast there was plenty of choice

there was a kettle in the room and two tea bags on some days and not others days the same with the little milk pods. There weren't any cups so when there was tea it had to be made in the glasses which ,as you can imagine , were hot to handle. The bottle of water was not refreshed

Fantastic old hotel beautifully decorated. They are currently updating. The reception was welcoming and gave us all the information we needed. Great breakfast. Excellent private parking. Great location lovely picturesque town.

We couldn't stay longer

Liked location and secure parking. Liked the breakfast which offers a variety of good quality food. Lift available for easy access to rooms with luggage. Plenty of good restaurants to choose from. Stayed here three times this year and would go back.

Rooms are a bit small especially if you have a lot of luggage/bags. Quilt too warm and too cool with it off. No means to cool the room.

We loved the couple who now own the hotel. It’s an old place and shows some wear and tear but the new owners have only been there 6 months. It has a lot of potential. It was perfect for our needs. We were only passing through on our way to a factory tour. We would stay again. It has a very homey feel to it - just needs a little modernizing. It was very clean. Bernay, by the way, is a lovely little town with a small river passing through it. Easy to explore.

Breakfast was ok, Location was perfect right in the centre, room was ok a little small but adequate for a one night stay travelling through to Calais, bars and restaurant's right on the doorstep which was good.

Couldn't get parking however a car park across the way in main square
