Citotel Le Cheval Blanc

Le Cheval Blanc is not good; stay away.

Very helpful friendly staff, breakfast was good value and plentyful.

The owner and staff were very helpful. The room was standard.

We stayed at this hotel for a night whilst cycling through France. Everything was perfect for us, from check in, rooms (air -con a plus), staff and location. Our bikes were looked after, a meal booked for us at a local restaurant and breakfast was great. All in all a great overnight stay in Cognac

At first the hotel doesn't look too inviting, but it is a nice clean place to stay. The rooms are small, but the surprise is the very modern bathroom. We had a second floor and a view over the nice court yard. The parking is available, but only for 4 cars inside the court yard, but although the general description of the hotel states self parking available, it is at a cost. Also it says pet friendly and no mention of a cost for a pet, they charge 6 euros per night for the pet. The hotel location is very good, just two blocks from Martel, which I recommend, and walking distance to Meukow, Otard and Hennessy The old castle entrance gate is preserved down at the river nest to Otard and Hennessy. There are many restaurants nearby, but you may pay 8.5 euros each for the hotel's breakfast that is rather meager - bread, croissant, yogurt, boiled egg and coffee. I skipped the hotel's offering, and for about 9 euros went to the patisserie a block away and got fresh pasties and coffee for two. If you have an automobile, there are many, many independent Cognac Houses that produce only their Cognac, rather than the blends of the Major Houses. Remy-Martin and Martel apparently collect cognac from some of these independents and blend them to make much of their production. Out of the several independents we visited one stood out as superior in all respects (my opinion). This is Cognac Pinearu Danjou in Goux. It is about 12 km from the hotel, difficult to find without a GPS.

Basic, but reflected in the price. Welcoming and helpful staff. Room not generous, but perfectly comfortable and the hotel is conveniently situated.

Great place to stay and visit Cognac. Family-run, very helpful and clean. Easy walk to the cognac houses.

We took two nights off an extended bicycle tour around Europe and didn't hardly leave the room. Excellent Wifi, tremendous courtesy from the reception area, and very comfortable room and bed made our respite very enjoyable. And with a grocery store across the street, bakeries and brasseries just up the road, it was a wonderfully convenient location.

This is a pleasant hotel with no fancy curlicues. Just a couple of hundred yards stroll from the centre of Cognac with a great selection of bars and restaurants, but away from too much noise or crowding. Plain, clean, comfortable room with air con and a nice little courtyard/parking space round the back (though I parked on the street - no hassle and free except weekdays)

The room was adequate for our one night stay but very basic. It was well located in the town, which was very quiet the night we were there and we had trouble finding a restaurant open. So many places seem to have shut down for September, which we found very strange. Our room was located around an open courtyard. We would have liked to sit outside at the tables and chairs provided, but there was no lighting. The couple running the hotel were very welcoming and for this reason alone I would probably return if visiting Cognac again.
