Great Hotel in the Centre of Cognac

This is a lovely old hotel, recently refurbished I would imagine, in the centre of Cognac. Staff were friendly with a good command of English and our room was clean and comfortable with a fantastic shower! Breakfast was very good too! Parking is available but as we visited on a weekend we were able to park on the street outside for free. The hotel is very well located for bars and restaurants as well as the major brandy houses.

Overnight Stay in Cognac

From going through the electronic doors with the car, the very friendly and informative booking in, the Cognac cocktails in the bar, the arranging of our dinner in \"La Maison\", to the breakfast and check-out this was a fabulous experience. The room on the second floor had a great view of the bustling square, but even though there was a lot of traffic the triple glazing cut the noise down to a murmur. The bathroom was very luxury and the towels were really soft and substantive in size. The bed was big and comfortable, the air-con kept the room at a really comfortable temperature. I will definitely use this Hotel again, if I am ever staying over in Cognac. Thanks to Catherine, the receptionist, for a very welcoming and informative chat.

Fabulous Hotel in a iconic French town

This is one of the best hotels that I have ever stayed in. It started off well when we were upgraded to the prestige suite. The facilities are excellent, nespresso coffee machine thick towels, beautifully comfortable bed to name just a few.
The experience is made special by the genuine warmth and friendliness of the staff, epitomised by Thibault a real credit up the Hotel.

Good Location & Friendly Staff

We only stayed in Cognac for one night in early April 2015. This hotel provided a great location for walking to dinner and some of the cognac houses. Everything is really quite close to the city center where this hotel is. Only negative aspect of the hotel was that the air conditioning was still set for winter (meaning no air conditioning). So you had to open your windows for cooling the room and bathroom. Our room was on the 2nd floor facing the main intersection of the town \"square\". So to keep the windows open, first meant no privacy and secondly you had to endure the sound a loud people partying in the square, loud cars, and really loud motorcycles. At least it does quiet down around midnight and then doesn't pick back up again until around 8 AM - when you should be getting up anyway. The hot portion of the breakfast was awful I'm afraid. Stick to the yogurt & fruit to be sure. Good coffee though.

Wifi not effective soured our experience

The hotel is perfectly located, with very helpful and informed staff. However, he 'free' wifi was so slow as to be unworkable. This was a shame, as otherwise, the hotel is almost faultless ( I drink tea, not coffee, my partner reported that the breakfast coffee was undrinkable). Again, no matter, next time we would not bother with breakfast in the hotel.

But don't let that put you off, for what we wanted, an east to find, centrally located 4 star hotel it easily achieves that.

A First Class First Visit.....Je Reviens

From the friendly, efficient welcome, to the final 'Au Revoir' it was perfect. The hotel is now beautifully renovated, stylish, yet intimate and welcoming. Ideally situated at the heart of Cognac, there are restaurants, shops, museums, and history on your doorstep. Whilst the room was small, as most hotels in classic french buildings are, it was completely newly refurbished and very comfortable. In fact, it has all been done with a sophisticated palette. The cocktail bar, which in the evenings invites the cognac connoisseur to taste great cocktails, doubles up in the morning to provide an impressive breakfast selection to satisfy a demanding palete.
Remember to book your car parking space, you will be glad you did,
And take your swimming costume, you may even have the pool to yourself.
We were in Cognac for the 'Bluespassions' blues and jazz festival, and couldnt have chosen a better location.
