Okay but better places
Good central location, and pleasant reception staff. A bit dated and disorganised with stuff lying around on the third floor. Rooms quite small. Noisy cleaners talking loudly (shouting) in the morning. I’m sure there are better places to stay in Angouleme.

Lovely, quirky hotel right in the middle of the city so very convenient for everything. The receptionists were excellent, so bright and helpful. Particularly helped with the parking as it’s quite tricky when the small car park is busy. The rooms were interesting - each seems to have an individual theme with different colours and attractive vintage furniture. Very comfortable with lovely linen bedding. One small thing is that whilst they have tea and coffee in the room you have to get milk from reception which is a minor but unnecessary inconvenience. The rooms were spotless, as were the interestingly decorated communal areas. The only disappointment was the breakfast which was very standard and not so well maintained if you don’t get there first thing. Oddly, they serve your coffee in a jug with no top which means it goes cold very quickly which is very frustrating.

This hotel was just perfect for me and my friend.
It was in a fantastic location!
Our room had a wonderful view, the bed was extremely comfortable, and we enjoyed our stay.
The people working there were incredibly helpful, kind, efficient, and knowledgeable.

Quirky, well positioned!
Hotel is quirky, with fun decor. It is in a good area with some grand buildings, and restaurants.
Rooms not big and furniture squeezed in. Fine for us as overnight stop on long trip

LIKED
Friendly, helpful staff. Quirkiness of the decor and furniture that you only find in French hotels. Overall cleanliness. Very comfortable bed and room. Ample breakfast. Availability of tea and coffee.
DIDN’T LIKE (just minor things)
Parking very tight and therefore tricky, no milk with the tea and coffee (though got a jug on request). No slip mat in bath when using overhead shower, nor any handles. Coffee at breakfast served in an open jug so went cold by the second cup.

Joli petit hôtel vintage
Hotel sympathique, très vintage et original de ce fait. La déco m'a plu, dommage pour la vue sur...rien, la chambre était très sombre du coup.
Petit déjeuner très correct et fourni.
Très bien situé aussi bien qu'un peu loin de la gare à pied (ça monte tout le long, dur dur...)

Le lavabo ne s’écoule pas bien et est fêlé à 2 endroits
Les chambres sont bruyantes

Hotel très bien situé, un personnel serviable
L'hotel est situé en plein centre ville, près du palais de justice et des nombreux restaurants d'Angoulème. la cathédrale et le musée d'Angoulème, les halles, l'hotel de ville, sont à très faible distance de l'hotel. Le batiment est ancien mais correctement aménagé. Le personnel, très serviable, peut répondre aux demandes particulières. Le petit déjeuner est correct.
