This place was perfect: clean, calm and close to the main attractions in Cognac. The staff was great, the wifi worked, the bed was comfortable.

The rooms are fairly basic, but clean, colourful and the bathroom is adequate. Don't bother with the breakfast - poor quality and poor value. There is no parking, but you can find free parking at the Town Hall/Post Office area (about a 10minute walk). The owners are very welcoming and accommodating. It was nice to stay somewhere with character, in central Cognac. Its really easy to explore the town from this hotel, with a lot of the Cognac distilleries being in easy walking distance (10-15minutes). Have breakfast out at one of the lovely cafe's in the pedestrianised area!

It was actually 2009 when we stayed in august. After using the Ibis for the previous 2 years we wanted a change & where so glad we did. The staff where really friendly and the rooms lovely, we had a choice of 2. We are hoping to return again this year.

This hotel is OK for what we did, stay over en route for northern Spain. It is a basic hotel which has been done up, I would say stylishly, others did not agree. Main thing is use of bright colours, so a grey room with one old peice of furniture painted bordeux red, variations on that theme. But underneath the paint it is a plain, basic French provincial hotel for the full price. Rooms are large but quite barely furnished and noise carries.
My main gripe was the attitude of the owners. We arrived on a holiday and were made to feel that we were imposing and ruining what was supposed to be a holiday for them (I thought we were on holiday and paying). Same carried over to the next morning when I met the owner in the hall and said I would like to check out, but he then approached some French visitors and started up a long conversation keeping me waiiting at reception. Not quite sure what was wrong, but we did not seem to be their ideal or welcome guests.
