Great Hotel in the Centre of Cognac

This is a lovely old hotel, recently refurbished I would imagine, in the centre of Cognac. Staff were friendly with a good command of English and our room was clean and comfortable with a fantastic shower! Breakfast was very good too! Parking is available but as we visited on a weekend we were able to park on the street outside for free. The hotel is very well located for bars and restaurants as well as the major brandy houses.

Great location in the middle of this delightful town. Unfortunately we didn't have time to try the pool or spar facilities. Only slight criticism was the room we were in felt a little dated for 4* hotel. Staff very friendly and helpful.
