OK, so you are thinking this is going to be a shocker - not to be! Nice little 2 star hotel in a great position in the ancient city - small comfortable room and walking distance to everything. The staff have better english then my franglais. And as a bonus a great value restaurant downstairs with a seriously good wine... More

The hotel was full of character, both the people and the decor. We had a huge family room (room 15) for five of us, the old town and Cathedral were two minutes walk away, along with a great restaurant opposite the cathedral, very welcoming to families. I bought breakfast in the boulangerie next door, and we were able to be... More

A very traditional old style French hotel. We found the service 1st class and nothing was too much trouble. The moved us to room on the 1st floor when they realised that my wife struggled with the stairs. The room was "quaint" but comfortable. The whole place has been described as "tired" and it is but this adds to its... More

This was a bit of a surprise given some of the reviews. Although it is certainly a bit tired and limited in facilities and the service is haphazard, it is very well situated for the town and the food was surprisingly good.

On a driving trip around the world our transmission blew a gear out the side in Laon, France. Assan the manager of the lovely ancient hotel Banniere, took us in and took care of every thing. Including the transmission. All he had left was his smallest room, but he gave us a great price, and it was just big enough... More

Comfortable hotel, excellent welcome, parking available, good internet. I had a problem with needing to get several emails printed, but the owner accepted them to his personal email address and printed them out. It was rather more complicated than that and took quite a long time. He was keen to sort it out for me and made no complaint about... More

Great for town sightseeing and a good menu. Not cheap but good value. More

Booked tn for one night on the 8th June. Found the hotel to be very central and quiet. The hotel is tired and dirty, Dinner was a total disaster and the overall stay was expensive. The hotel choice in Laon is not good but try one out of town and you will fair much better. More
