This was a bit of a surprise given some of the reviews. Although it is certainly a bit tired and limited in facilities and the service is haphazard, it is very well situated for the town and the food was surprisingly good. Our room was large and comfortable though the beds were a bit low and the furnishings needed a... More

My second ever review, we loved this place. Whenever I book a hotel in France, I am always comforted by a few negative reviews! If you want a sterile environment then go and stay in one of the chain hotels. When I stay in France I want to absorb some French culture, and this hotel is so wonderfully french, its... More

On a driving trip around the world our transmission blew a gear out the side in Laon, France. Assan the manager of the lovely ancient hotel Banniere, took us in and took care of every thing. Including the transmission. All he had left was his smallest room, but he gave us a great price, and it was just big enough... More

Comfortable hotel, excellent welcome, parking available, good internet. I had a problem with needing to get several emails printed, but the owner accepted them to his personal email address and printed them out. It was rather more complicated than that and took quite a long time. He was keen to sort it out for me and made no complaint about... More

Great for town sightseeing and a good menu. Not cheap but good value. More

Booked tn for one night on the 8th June. Found the hotel to be very central and quiet. The hotel is tired and dirty, Dinner was a total disaster and the overall stay was expensive. The hotel choice in Laon is not good but try one out of town and you will fair much better. More

We picked this hotel purely on its location near to the town centre and for that it has no competition. However we felt that the price of our stay was expensive compared to two wonderful hotels that we stayed at the nights previously in Alsace and Switzerland. The room had a threadbare and stained carpet as well as being only... More

We have dined here before, but never stayed the night, twice having opted for the slightly cheaper chain hotels in the lower town. On the whole because this is in the centre it's probably the better option. I believe it may be under new ownership. Reception was friendly and attentive. An old building lends charm, the downside being a rather... More

We have passed Laon on the way south dozens of times and it looks imposing from the autoroute, and having read the Algeron Blackwood Ghost story Ancient Sorceries, reputedly based in Laon, decided to visit.The hotel has a good central location,parking, very attentive service and a good traditional restaurant. The rooms were comfortable. The main attraction of the hotel is... More
