Enchanting layout: a castle just outside Cognac. Swimming-pool, nice external area where you can have your cup of champagne and have your meal at their restaurant (we had both). Excellent spa services are present. The lady at the desk was very friendly and efficient. Each room is unique in terms of design and colours. My room was extremely clean. A wonderful experience (even though I was on a business trip).

New addition to an existing ibis Styles on the same site. Separate building though, so you can't use the pool and breakfast is served separately for a fee. There is just one guy doing check-ins, assisting with housekeeping issues and serving breakfast in the morning (he was great though!). Reception is closed at night, you get a code instead of a key card for your room. This is a new-spec ibis budget with a proper bathroom, which is a great improvement. Extra bed is located in a small closet that can be pulled out if needed. There is no hair dryer in the bathroom, but you can ask for one at the front desk. Easy under 10 mins drive to the city center, free parking, a number of supermarkets around, as well a couple of bakeries.

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.

Très belle surprise que cet hôtel étonnant en plein centre de Cognac. Dépaysement total, sentiment de dormir dans un lodge en Afrique. Demandez une cabane ou une roulotte, beaucoup de charme et bien agencé. Petit déjeuner copieux et délicieux. Le personnel de l’hôtel était charmant et très aidant.
