Chambres d'hôtes les Galaines

Domaine des Etangs, Auberge Collection

"Absolutely incredible hotel. The food, decor, service etc was all top notch! Can't wait to come back! I'm still dreaming of the breakfasts...pain au choc heaven."

HôtelF1 Angoulême

"Did not stay due to having shared facilities"

Hôtel du Palais

"A typical, old-style French hotel but with quirky decor in the public places. It has a fabulous location right at the top of Angoulême, at the beating heart of the eating and drinking quarter. Very friendly staff. Comfortable bed. Although there is parking at the hotel, there are not many spaces and it is hard to find. There are other carparks very close by at similar prices. The only reason for not giving it 5 stars was that the bathroom was so dimly lit that I found it hard to shave. "

"The reception very kind, gave us a clear instruction as we checked in at 10pm. For one night all good."

Ibis Styles Cognac

"Meget god oplevelse, hotel, der fortjener at være en 4⭐️, jeg har nydt værelserne og morgenmad. Personals de l’établissement très sympatique et serviable.5/5"

Hôtel Quai des Pontis

"Since we stayed off-season, breakfast was not a buffet, but rather was ordered at check-in. The portions were small so I recommend ordering what you like. The location was great, within a 15-minute walk of the city center and a 5-minute walk to Chateau Cognac and Hennessy. The spacious grounds made for a relaxing stay."

Mercure Angoulême - Hôtel de France

"Excellent location. Parking really secure and charming employees"

Hotel Heritage

"This is a really hard review to write because the actual hotel, the breakfast and most of the staff were excellent. The room was lovely and air conditioned which was a god send in the 30° plus heat. It was great value for money. I would have given it 5 out of 5 but for one person and that was the horrid, intimidating night porter. I know people often say that French people can be dismissive if you attempt to speak in French but I've never really found this and we've holidayed in France a great deal as my husband is fluent. On our first night at the hotel we didn't have any water in our room so after getting in from meeting friends for dinner and drinks I went downstairs to ask for some water. I asked in French and I know it's not perfect but I was going to give it a go but the rudeness I was greeted with was on another level. Not only was he rude but he was also intimidating and obviously quite liked the power of no one else being around, it being late at night and he obviously felt very much in control of the situation. He told me my French was appalling and that I shouldn't even try to speak to him because it was hideous to him. I was pretty shocked but asked for water in English and he was really annoyed and complaining that he had to go and get it for me. He did get it because I wasn't going to back down but the whole thing was really upsetting. Interestingly I was there for a wedding being held near by and my husband told the mother of the bride who said she'd had exactly the same experience from presumably the same man when she had stayed there for one night before going on to the wedding venue. She had tried to ask about the hotel being locked as her son was arriving late due to train cancellation. She is a French speaker so was horrified to be told that her French was awful and she shouldn't bother and to her questions not really being answered. I wonder if this nasty person would have done the same if we'd been men? I very much doubt it. Hotel Heritage you have a lovely hotel, your front of house day staff could not be more helpful, your breakfast was incredible and your rooms were lovely but what are you going to do about this really vile person who is discrediting your establishment? You have a duty of care to your customers not to be intimidated or humiliated by your staff. "

Ibis Styles Angoulême Nord

"I've used this title before and it applies to the Ibis Styles. I'd stayed recently at an Ibis in the UK for 3 nights and it was comfortable enough for a short stay. As I only wanted an overnight stop in France I thought I'd give it a try. It was quite expensive but it was in a convenient location near the motorway and it was August. It was clean, modern and comfortable if a bit stark but for one night I need nothing more. Our ground floor room, 114, looked out onto the the patio area. Reception was efficient and English-speaking (I don't expect it but it helps). There is free parking outside. We walked to a nearby pizza restaurant, about 10 minutes walk away, for dinner although there is an adjacent restaurant called 'le Boucherie' Breakfast was buffet-style and adequate if not excessive like some up-market hotels."
