Some of the reviews put me off staying here so I was tempted to book the Ibis again, however I changed my mind and booked. The room was far better than the Ibis, much more space, clean, serviced well, couldn’t fault it really, and close to our favourite bar. A few strange reception staff, one very young girl who looked us up & down & stared all the time and then the older reception guy of an evening who did his job (which I couldn’t really fault but he wasn’t interested in us). I’d stay again, great position and quiet.

Had a very welcoming check in experience by a lovely young lady who explained everything in some detail to me including the car parking in the underground car park below. And how there was a special rate of €10 something for 2 hours there if the ticket was correctly validated, so I parked our car down there. Spent a lovely evening in town and upon checking out the following day presented my car park ticket for the expected validation to be told that I had to do that with the office at the car park. So I went there and explained that I was staying at the Ibis and needed the ticket validating and was directed to the cash machine. Which promptly charged me €34.40 for the privilege of 20 hours parking. I will be visiting Epernay again on my travels but will be staying well away from the centre. Either someone from the municipal car park needs to talk to the Ibis management, or vice versa, the Ibis management needs to talk to them. I obviously was not the first victim of this.

AVOID Don't stay in this hotel if: you like your room dark, your beds not creaky, but most of all if you would like your hotel to take responsibility for other guests being able to enter your room during the night. Around 2:30 PM we were woken up by another (drunk) guest in our room, who was accompanied by a group of friends outside. My wife was terrified. Safe to say we did not sleep much after that. The next day we took this up with the reception, where security footage showed that the door opened by itself in the early hours of the night. The door had been closed properly and locked. The hotel proceeded to do their very best to put the blame for this occurrence on us and on the guest entering our room in the middle of the night, even when it turned out the door-closing mechanism was faulty as it was not screwed onto the door. The hotel manager even tried to downplay the fact that the door-closing mechanism was faulty to us. Then, the email address they provided to us to escalate our complaint bounced (yes, we double-checked the spelling). As a result, we've lost all trust in this hotel, and we'd not be surprised if they try to blame us again for the door opening by itself due to a faulty door-closing mechanism in the middle of the night in a response below. At least none of our things were taken and my wife wasn't alone in the room. It could have been much worse than a few lost hours of sleep. We will never stay in any Vacancéole property ever again. We'd recommend you to do the same.

This was our second visit to the hotel in six months. The hotel is in a good location to visit Epernay and the champagne houses. Good free parking. Very friendly and professional staff. Extensive choice at breakfast and comfortable rooms. The rooms have recently had a refresh, we had a ground floor room with a small outdoor seating area which was a useful addition. We would recommend if you are visiting the area.

La chambre est propre avec un confort relatif, le petit déjeuner est très bien. Par contre il y a une diversité dans la clientèle étonnante.
