ibis Laon

parfait

Overnight stay as part of a coach party. We were late arriving but the staff had a meal ready and served us immediately. Breakfast was equally efficient the following morning. I had a basic but clean room on the second floor. Poor view but this was not a problem

We stayed at this Ibis hotel for a single night en route to Alsace. It's very conveniently situated, right next to the Autoroute - but despite the proximity to the road we didn't find it at all noisy. There's a slight downside in that in order to get from the hotel to the medieval city of Laon, which stands on the top of a hill, you have to take your car; it's a very steep and long climb, which is too much to do on foot. We stayed on a Friday night; the hotel wasn't at all busy - we suspect it may be busier during the working week. Parking is plentiful. Our room was quite small but perfectly satisfactory for an overnight stay; however, the shower room was quite cramped. Due to the need to drive into Laon itself we decided to eat in the restaurant at the hotel and we were very pleased with our meal of sea bass fillet, which was beautifully cooked; the portions were generous. The hotel staff were very pleasant and helpful.
