- Andrew (9/5): Good location and with secure car parking on site - Good location and with secure car parking The hotel did not have a bar
- Alan R (9/5): Great central location in a characterful building. - A lovely combination of old and new. A perfect central location. On premises garage was spacious. Double pain glass kept most of the outside noise at bay. Reliable elevator. Had difficulty controlling the room temperature; although the hotel did resolve the problem.

- Monika (8/5): - Die zentrale Lage des Hotels, das geräumige Parkhaus und das Frühstück. Bei 26 Grad im Zimmer funktionierte die Klimaanlage nicht. Fenster konnten wir nicht öffnen wegen des Verkehrs auch in der Nacht!
- Philip (10/5): Great hotel to which we return regularly - Location and comfort Lack of on site restaurant but plenty locally
- CHRISTINE (10/5): Lovely staff & perfect location - Great location All fine
- Anthony (10/5): Fabulous - Location
- PROVOST (8/5): Très bon séjour - Emplacement parfait. Chambre et salle de bain spacieuses. Literie parfaite. Petit déjeuner très bon. Un peu déçue par l’espace piscine : très petite. Le sauna ne fonctionnait pas (peut-être aurait il fallu demander à l'accueil la mise en route ?).
- Geraldine (10/5): -
- Pierre (8/5): -
- Simon (8/5): Fantastic stay in a beautiful location. - Excellent location, comfortable and modern rooms. The staff were of the highest standard, professional and helpful throughout. Unfortunately the steam room was not working
- Valentine (6/5): - Piscine froide, petit déjeuner non inclus, pas de restaurant
- philippe (10/5): séjour très agréable et le personnel très plaisant - petit déjeuner magnifique le reste super bien
- David John (10/5): Très agréable séjour à Cognac. - Très bon accueil et renseignements très utiles pour les restaurants et bars ouverts le dimanche. Il nous a aussi recommandé certaines adresses pour le cognac. Pour moi toi était parfait
- CHRISTINE (10/5): Excellent hotel - Excellent staff comfortable rooms & great location
- Marleen (8/5): Goed hotel om Cognac te verkennen - Locatie, parkeren, mooie kamer Je kon geen drankje s’avonds krijgen
- John (8/5): Fijn verblijf en locatie. - Locatie was mooi, in het stadje aan het Plein. Heel fijn de mogelijkheid om te kunnen parkeren in het hotel. Reserveren. Airco bleef heet blazen, ‘s nachts niet prettig. Via navigatie wat
Lastig te vinden.
- BARBEARIA (9/5): -
- julien (10/5): -
- Samuel (8/5): - Emplacement, qualité de l'hôtel et des équipes. Piscine un peu froide. Je n'avais pas ce souvenir suite à mon précédent séjour dans cet établissement.
- Mestraud (10/5): - Équipement de qualité
Propreté impeccable
Personnel souriant et agréable
Une vraie parenthèse reposante avec sa piscine intérieure et option Massage :)
- Claire (10/5): - Central and easy parking Nothing
- Jarmo (8/5): - Hieno siisti hotelli keskellä kylää. Iso autotalli. Hyvä aamiainen. Avulias henkilökunta.
- VALERIE (8/5): Very nice hotel, ideally located, however the breakfast doesn't emphasise the local products - The Hotel is perfectly located for business as for tourism. It is in the city center, near very good restaurants and near Houses of Cognac. Great Hotel, good value for money Breakfast could have more local food choices. In such a region like Cognac, there are plenty of specialities that could be supplied by local farmers. The breakfast was good, however nothing special. Shame not to emphasise the local products.

- Susanne (8/5): - Centralt beläget, hundvänligt och säker parkering i hotellets garage.
- F. (9/5): Très beau séjour - L'hôtel est très bien situé en plein centre ville de Cognac
Sont parking privé rends le stationnement très pratique
Tous le personnels est très polis et courtois et fait preuve d'une grande discrétion que ce soit à la réception ou les femmes de chambre, ils sont tous super !
- Cédric (9/5): - Tout et surtout le surclassement
- Cédric (8/5): - L'emplacement, l'accueil, la décoration, la taille et le confort de la chambre
- Fabienne (10/5): -
- Javier (9/5): Muy recomendable. -
- Carole (10/5): -
- Zeb (9/5): Great location and the staff were brilliant! - Excellent location and the staff were very friendly and attentive Nothing to dislike
- Marc (6/5): -
- Anthony W (10/5): Amazing! Fantastic! Superb! Friendly and just perfect ! - Loved everything about this great venue. The staff go above and beyond. Don’t worry if you don’t speak French as they speak English. All the little extra touches like foyer coffee, the pool, the steam room, the lovely bar. And the rooms are quiet and well appointed. Gary could easily run hospitality lessons as he is The Master! The fact I didn’t have more time to spend here.
- YVES (9/5): Hôtel bien situé en Centre-ville. - Le Service en chambre pour le Petit-déjeuner était très bien. Je n'ai pas pu disposer d'une place de parking dès le premier jour de mon séjour, mais il y a des parkings publics à proximité.
- Clément (9/5): Séjour d'affaires à Cognac - L'hôtel est spacieux et confort. Il s'agit d'un établissement moderne tout en gardant le charme de l'ancien. Le petit-déjeuner et les chambres sont au niveau souhaité et attendu. Le bruit de circulation la nuit est inhérent à la situation géographique de centre-ville de l'hôtel. Bouchons d'oreille recommandés.
- Charles (8/5): -
- Marion (10/5): Bel hôtel de standing, bien placé - Le confort de la literie
L’emplacement central
Le petit-déjeuner copieux et délicieux Rien !
- Vincent (9/5): - Très beau bâtiment et facile d'accès
- Harry (8/5): Great base from which to visit the region, in season. - Location. Facilities. Friendly staff. Do not visit cognac in January - or out of season generally.
- Claude (10/5): - Très bel hôtel et idéalement situé. Le parking sur place est fermé et protégé. En face, le coq d'or une excellente brasserie.
- Cedric (10/5): -
- MarcelaJimenez (10/5): - La ubicación, limpieza, trato amable
- Marijke (7/5): -
- georges (8/5): Très bien !!(manquait peu de choses pour que ce soit top!!) - L’emplacement top! L’architecture ! Le confort de la chambre. La serrure du hamam cassée donc pas de hamam ! Pas la possibilité de régler le pommeau de douche à ma taille.(dans la chambre). Plus de viennoiseries ce matin à 9h!!! Ça quand même…
- Camille (10/5): Super séjour et très bon accueil -
- Alain (4/5): Décevant et pas commercial - Le confort
Piscine et hammam Pas de débit d'eau
Eau froide le matin (signalé... mais pas de geste commercial au moment du départ...)
TV impossible à faire fonctionner
Pas à la hauteur d'un 4 étoiles ..
- Werner Kaehs (10/5): - Nice Boutique Hotel
- Nathan (10/5): To have on site parking was a bonus. Breakfast was very good - Location was insane
- Yurii (7/5): Motel feel, not recommended - There’re many things to be fixed:
1. We arrived at 15:00, there were 2 other cars waiting and calling reception at the entrance cause nobody was there and we couldn’t enter even the parking. After reception lady arrived and opened the gate, everyone took all the bags out and went to reception, and everyone was just told that check-in starts at 16:00 and we need to put our bags back in our cars. I checked and indeed it was stated that check-in starts from 16:00 but still looks too late.
2. Doors to shower room and toilette won’t close leaving huge gap.
3. The floor is extremely cold (it’s made of tile) and there are zero carpers or no flip flops provided.
4. Towels are of lowest quality I’ve ever seen and there only 2 body towels (no face / hands / legs towels).
5. Distance to central part is 20 walk which is a lot for such a small town and the walk is not pleasant cause there’s nothing to see when walking

Piscine et sauna parfaits après une journée de balade
Beaucoup de choix pour le petit-déjeuner
- Andriy (10/5): -
- Andrew (7/5): - Central in Cognac
Undercover parking with EV chargers x4 available Recommended restaurant was mediocre - recommend looking around for alternatives
- Lutz (8/5): Hotel lädt zum Wiederkommen ein. - Wir waren nur auf der Durchreise und hatten das Hotel wg. des Innenpools gewählt, den wir dann auch alleine für uns nutzen konnten. (leider haben die whirlpoolähnlichen Massagedüsen nicht funktioniert).
Das Zimmer im 3. Stock, mit Blick direkt auf den beleuchteten Platz "Francois 1", war sehr gut ausgestattet und hatte große bequeme Einzelbetten. Uns hat auch gefallen, dass Bad und Toilette getrennt waren. Alles war in einem gepflegten und sauberen Zustand.
Das Parken und Laden unseres E-Autos war unkompliziert. Das Laden sogar kostenlos.
Die Dame an der Rezeption war ausgesprochen freundlich und hilfsbereit.
Ebenfalls zu unserem Vorteil, war das sehr preisgünstige Zimmer (sicherlich der Jahreszeit geschuldet).

- Gabriel (9/5): -
- DIDIER (6/5): Déçu de l hôtel et du bar Louise - Emplacement central
Très belle façade
Parking
Accueil Décevant c est un bon 3 étoiles mais pas 4
Moquettes très sales et tachées chambres et couloirs
Salle de bain très petite pas de nespresso . Le bar Louise ne propose rien à manger alors que nous sommes passés deux heures avant d y aller et que leur réponse étaient oui! Nous pensions faire une soirée apéro fooding, raté ! Pas de carte de Cognac alors qu une centaine au moins sont alignés dans le bar! Seulement trois cocktail à base de cognac! Soirée ratée !!!
Globalement déçu !
Petit déjeuner bien sans plus! Pas de nespresso non plus! Un café filtre passable! Salle sans charme
- Robert (9/5): The real highlight was the staff—genuinely the friendliest and kindest we’ve met anywhere in France! - Fantastic location, a spacious and comfortable family apartment, and great facilities. But the real highlight was the staff—genuinely the friendliest and kindest we’ve met anywhere in France!
- Étienne (10/5): - Idéalement situé.
La piscine est vraiment un plus. 15 € le stationnement, on est dans la fourchette haute.
- vermeulen bertrand (9/5): -
- Martin (8/5): - good location, safe parking
- Sylvie (8/5): Agréable - Personnel attentionné La décoration un peu datée
- pirjo (8/5): - Deuxième fois que nous venons dans cet hôtel, l’emplacement au cœur de Cognac, facile d’accès, parking possible, personnel accueillant et chambres confortables.
