Find the Cheap Sainte-Severe Hotels

Good location for visiting Cognac, Angoulême and environs. The hotel has views to the Charente river and beyond. You can visit the wild ”jardin respectueux” in front and reach the river on foot for pleasant promenades. The outdoor pool isn't heated, which would make it pleasant in the hotter months. In the price of the room, we were able to reserve an hour-long slot per day for the little spa with its hammam, sauna and jacuzzi. It could do with a revamp, as could the rooms, but the communal areas seem to have been renovated more recently. The set dinner menu at 33€ was excellent and the service from Thomas and his team was very good. The buffet breakfast was copious and was made up of a great deal of local, organic produce. High five for the scrambled eggs, which must have been made the traditional way over a bain-marie.

Staff friendly and very polite with good manner and nice smile.

I stayed for a few nights at IBIS Styles Hotel in Cognac while on business in early December, which to me was a fairly low season. My company got a rate of 125 Euro/night. At that price I was expecting a decent mid range hotel based on staying at other Hotels near Cognac and by reading on the IBIS website that the IBIS Styles is a step up from IBIS Budget brand and this was my first experience with the IBIS brand at all. Front desk staff are extremely friendly and engaging. I got a free room upgrade with my Accor status. The room itself was a bit of a let down. Mostly because of the dark decor (back wall behind bed painted black and dark carpet and one small window) This is definitely is a budget hotel solely based on room features and If you can get a room at this hotel at a good price, it could be a good option. Room features that weren't there No - work desk No - work chair. Instead a hard plastic cheap chair you see on a patio No - USB outlets No - Kettle, coffee or tea No - Mini-fridge No - Ironing board, or iron, although the web site mentions one No - Additional amenities in the bathroom, just soap No - Streaming features available on the TV Limited power outlets - One by the bed and one at the far corner by the window that was too far away to be useful An odd little plastic stool that was too small to be of use in any way The bed was very comfortable, but the pillows were very small and square and had a weird textured pillow-case on them that made them look at feel like couch pillows. The good aspects of the room - The heating system worked well - It seemed fairly sound proof - It was very clean - The bed was comfortable - The hot water worked well I also saw on the IBIS website in-room newspaper and free water bottle mentioned, but I did not see them. The breakfast was just OK. The chairs in the breakfast room are all hard plastic. Parking is plentiful and free.

I stayed at Hotel Francois Premier recently for over a week while on business with several colleagues. The hotel is in an excellent location on the main square of Cognac city center. The hotel is beautiful and very well maintained. Front staff were very friendly and attentive. My room was a nice size, fully equipped and had 2 nice windows. What I liked - Very comfortable bed - Super efficient AirCon - Very quiet - Kettle - Great bathroom with rain shower - Breakfast was high quality with many choices and excellent scrambled eggs - Umbrellas to borrow To Improve - The hotel WiFi for the rooms was broken for the entire time of my stay. My colleagues informed me it was broken for a few weeks - Our entire team ending up purchasing SIM cards with large data included to be able to work from our rooms - No one at the hotel ever reached out to me to offer any kind of compensation for the WiFi situation NOTE: There is limited hotel indoor parking for a fee, but free outdoor parking is very close by
