Overall Ratings & Reviews Hotel de la Banniere de France

Budget hotel, basic but very convenient. Very helpful staff.

Excellent location in Laon. Husband and wife staff were extremely friendly and helpfull. We'd hoped to dine on site for our evening meal. Their restaurant was closed and they found us an alternative restaurant and made a dinner reservation for us. I was recovering from a cold and the owner prepared me a hot lemon honey and ginger drink to have before I went to bed. Even made me one the following morning. To some the hotel may feel dated, but out group of 8 loved the sense of history the hotel had. The building has heritage status and should I ever find myself back in Laon, I would definitely stay here again.

A very traditional French provincial hotel of the old school. Nothing wrong with that! Just what we were looking for. Laon is a great stopover location on the way south or north. Plenty to see and good places to eat.

Lovely old hotel near the cathedrale. The owner was so nice, very welcoming and thoughtful. It is old and it could do with some tlc but I would stay here again. Its not ideal for families or anyone with mobility problems as it doesn't have a lift but we managed okay (onlt one flight of stairs) and it's clear when you book it you are staying in an old hotel which is part of its charm. Public parking just round the back if you don't make his onside garage in time. He charges 10 euro for parking if you do. Restaurant wasn't open when we were there so noting it's a small town with limited opening hours get there us time for dinner out! Options within a few minutes walk.

Quaint and welcoming

After a long bike ride, my stay here was an absolute blessing. Early check in, a chance to recover and an excellent meal in the restaurant. Friendly and helpful staff

A hotel with character but in need of renovation. Rooms quite dusty but comfortable. The staff was friendly and helpful and the evening meal excellent. Breakfast was average.

Excellent location in medieval section of town. Seem to be no other hotel options nearby. Rooms rather old fashioned. worth it to be there.

Friendly, clean, comfortable and easily accessible (by bus No 4 from gare. Stop at Gambetta) is how we would describe this hotel. Within walking distance of the cathedral, art museum, Templers chapel, Port d’Ardon, and some very nice lookout points. Nearby, there are many restaurants and bars. The hotel serves breakfast too.

Lots of character in a real old-fashioned French hotel, and the man in charge is lovely! Super helpful and charming. We were there just before New Year, and the restaurant was closed, but he gave us a good recommendation for another one. The room was enormous, bathroom also. Breakfast is typical continental style: adequate.

Charming, historic hotel and building right around the corner from the best of the Laon historic city center. Close to hotels, restaurants, and sites, including the Cathedral. Owner/manager and staff are terrific and English speaking. Good breakfast available at additional cost. Good dinner restaurant on site as well. Note: No elevator in this 3 story hotel. No AC. Large rooms and bathrooms. Poor WiFi. Laundry service available on-site.

Nice hotel in the centre of lovely Laon. Friendly Staff and parking onsite.

The hotel is in a great location and the room was great with 2 double beds and a single in the corner for our child. However it needs some urgent renovation as it is in a tired state with our door lock barely working, most of the decor looking old, and the service was 'tired' to say the least. I tried to get to our car after 10pm but no-one was around and the front door was locked..

What a nice old-fashioned hotel in a historically interesting town. Very friendly hosts. Pleasant meal.

Interesting property but tired and unloved. Facilities average, but fixtures and fittings are all worn out.

The Manager was very rude and went out of his way to be awkward. We have been staying here for several years as a group but never again.

This is a 17th century coach inn in a fascinating town well worth visiting. The staff were terrific and spoke excellent English. I especially appreciated their concern when I checked out and faced a walk to the train station in the rain. Instead, the day manager personally drove me without my asking. Where else would this happen? My only regret is that their restaurant was closed that day so I was unable to have dinner there, though there are many good restaurants nearby. The breakfast buffet was fresh and filling.

A charming old-style French hotel with attentive manager and waiting staff in the lovely dining room. A short stroll took us into the historic heart of Laon and its magnificent cathedral.

Excellent location. Good parking

Lovely hotel with helpful friendly staff. Dinner was very good
