Ibis Styles Cognac

We loved our stay at this hotel, the room was nothing special but clean and comfortable, however the service from staff and the breakfast made up for it. Easy flat walk into town about 40 minutes but we like walking. Amazingly helpful staff, the lady at reception took us to the lift and called it for us. Next morning we had a lovely welcome from staff and the breakfast was just amazing. Bacon, sausage, scrambled eggs (not overcooked as on some buffets) boiled eggs, hams and meat selection, cheeses, cereals, yoghurts, dried fruit, fresh fruit, tinned fruit, compote, jams, pancakes and maple syrup, croissants and pain au chocolat, different types of bread, selection of proper teas(see picture) and coffees, fruit juices.......I'm sure I've forgotten some things because it was just endless. This is how a breakfast should be done, we would definitely stay here again, just for the breakfast and the staff!

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.

Have stayed in lots of Ibis hotels in France - had everything we had come to expect clean room, comfortable bed, good shower at a very reasonable price. This one was even better - very friendly staff, excellent breakfast included & a nice pool. Could not fault it. Staff spoke English & were gracious about our attempts at French.

De l'accueil au départ - tout a été agréable - le personnel souriant et à l'écoute - le petit déjeuner copieux - la piscine ...

El hotel está en un parque comercial, cerca de las principales vías de comunicación. Esta situación es ventajosa para los que viajamos y hacemos parada en ruta. Tienes supermercados, restaurantes...cerca y no tardas mucho en meterte en las autopistas y circunvalación. Además se puede aparcar bien frente al hotel (parking propio) sin coste. Las habitaciones son de buen tamaño, están limpias y con todas las comodidades necesarias para la estancia. Las camas, bastante amplias, son cómodas. Además se nota que el hotel es bastante reciente, no se aprecian marcas de desgaste o se ve anticuado. Como curiosidad, en lugar de mesa y escritorio, tienen una especie de silla y mesa en uno. Es similar a lo que hay en algunas escuelas, pero su diseño te permite usarlo en la cama. La entrada de primeras a recepción, es incómoda para la gente con problemas de movilidad. Luego acabas viendo como se puede hacer con los ascensores. La wifi funciona bastante bien, a buena velocidad y estable. Tienen una piscina para huéspedes. El personal correcto y efectivo. Hay una chica en recepción que solo habla francés y lo hace a mucha velocidad, para los no nativos, nos cuesta seguirla. El que parecía director, también habla muy rápido, pero habla más idiomas, y al darse cuenta, hablaba más despacio. El desayuno es bastante completo, en los hoteles franceses suele ser más limitado, pero en este caso era bastante completo: varios quesos, embutido, frutas, yogures, dulces y plato caliente (Bacon y huevos, que no suele ser tan habitual.)

Très bonne nuit sur la route des vacances ! La piscine est propre et très agréable après la route. La literie pour les enfants est une vraie literie dans les chambres de quatre, ce qui n’est pas toujours le cas. Un petit problème de propreté a été très vite réglé. Aussi n’hésitez pas à signaler ce genre de problèmes pour permettre au personnel de réagir. Chambres très bien isolées, nous n’avons pas entendu la route. Certes, il est difficile de dormir la fenêtre ouverte mais il y a la clim. Le petit-déjeuner est varié et très bon, surtout le far breton 👏🏻. Enfin mention spéciale à l’équipe pour son accueil souriant et sa gentillesse.
