호텔 르 클로 라이미

A totally outstanding small hotel just 5 minutes walk from the centre of Épernay. The hotel offers a lovely atmosphere. The rooms are clean and well equipped. Breakfast was freshly prepared for us. Parking is secure behind gates that are locked at 7pm and can only be opened by residents. Highly recommend this hotel.

As we drove down the road I didn’t expect much, it appeared to be a bit of a city street, what a surprise! A beautiful house, lovely interior, lovely French welcome. Our room was a delight, tastefully decorated, tranquil and relaxing. After a long drive it was perfect to just rest a while before dinner. Minutes walk from town, no need for transport. Breakfast was a bit steep at 18e per person, however, I didn’t mind paying that for the experience. Sometimes you come across a little gem and want to keep it all to yourself, this is a lovely place to stay with a really nice owner who goes out of her way to make you feel welcome. I really fell in love with this place, what’s not to like, comfy bed, great linen, robes, tastefully decorated. Beautiful house. Great host. Give yourself a treat as you really are worth this experience, if you only try it once. You won’t be disappointed.

A visit that would have been OK except for the exceptionally rude lady running the hotel in the morning. We were told to come down for breakfast at anytime. 7.30 to breakfast to be told not a chance until 8. We explained and we're just blanked. Noted a few comments on the feedback about rude staff, seems they don't learn!

We were so pleased with our choice of hotel for a stopover in Epernay. The hotel has so much character, is very quiet (just ten minutes walk from the centre), has secure private parking and a very warm and friendly host. Our room was light and airy, and very peaceful. There was a plentiful, varied offering for breakfast. It was the perfect place to stay and we would have no hesitation in recommending to others.

A classic old style French hotel. Everywhere looks as if it needs redecorating but is still spotless. Sort of shabby chic. Very nice artwork in rooms and public areas. Breakfast is good in a nice room. Nice gardens and good parking. Very good spot just behind Avenue de Champagne walking distance of champagne houses and town centre. Pricey? A little but we’ll worth it.

Stayed there for 2 nights recently. When you look at the pics you might believe that this hotel is located in a magnificent park, but it is rather a modest garden at the back of a champagne house. At night a constant humming from there can be heard. Now there is nothing fundamentally wrong with this place, but for almost 500,- € for 2 nights (breakfast included), I find the place rather pricey for the smallish room you get. No separate shower, you have to stand in the bath tub, doing your best not to flood the bathroom. The two ladies who assist the elderly owner are very friendly and efficient. Again on the positive side, there is free parking and many Champagne houses are just around the corner. Downton Epernay is about 12 - 15 min walk, but let’s face it: as opposed to Rheims or Troyes, the Epernay city center is quite dull, and even the wine shops in town are less exciting than in Rheims. In the unlikely event I returned to Epernay, I would choose a different hotel.
