Reims Hotels with Pools

We have only positive things to say about our one-night stay at Best Western Hotel de la Paix. The location is right in the very center of Reims, 50 meters from the pedestrian area. We used the hotel’s underground car park (15€) which offered easy access to the reception. The welcome was professional and friendly, and our check-in took less than a minute. Quintin at the front desk recommended Excelsior Brasserie for our dinner – a perfect recommendation. The room was excellent, the beds very comfortable, the breakfast delicious – and all around we were surrounded by helpful, smiling members of the staff. Indeed, Hotel de la Paix is a hotel to revisit.

As an absolute Champagne lover it made our first experience in the famed region all the more special to stay in an authentic Belle Epoque styled boutique hotel. Everything was absolutely outstanding: from the hospitality, service, cleanliness and Covid-19 precautions, this hotel went beyond and above the definition of excellent customer service. Both Francois and his wife (who run the hotel) were personable, courteous and extremely caring. From arrival until departure, we were treated like honored guests - a royal treatment. The hotel was immaculate inside and out. The room was nicely appointed and the bathroom was spotless. We will most definitely return to Reims and will without the shadow of a doubt be staying at Grand Hotel des Templiers. I can't say enough good things about this hotel and the staff.

The rooms are quiet and well-equipped, beds are comfortable. In the bathroom the toilet is very low and getting into the bath is quite a challenge - and when you do finally make it you discover that you cannot teach the soap dispenser. which is high up on the wall, a fine position if you want a shower, but otherwise ... On the negative side, although there are tea and coffee making facilities in the rooms, no milk is provided and has to be requested at the bar, which is easier said than done when the bar is busy. The self-service breakfast is excellent, with everything you could possibly want, but I cannot recommend the dinner experience - you are expected to order via an app on the table, so if you don't have a smart phone you have to wait for ages until someone finally brings a menu, and the food, when it arrives, is very average and definitely not served with a smile.

We highly recommend this hotel! From the point of enquiry, I received prompt, friendly replies to our queries, specifically surrounding the secure parking needed for our campervan. Finding hotel city accommodation with parking for a larger vehicle is always difficult but we were most thankful for the huge, secure garage facility available here for only 8E per night! Our room was in what seemed to be the newer block, over the road from the main reception area and pool. It was on the ground floor, with security shutters, a safe, air-con. and a large bathroom with double shower. We were pleasantly surprised to have tea and coffee in the room and it was super clean! The lady on reception spoke good English and helped us to navigate the best route into the city centre, (20 min. walk) and onto the Notre Dame Cathedral, (a further 10 minutes). We made the most of our stay with a visit to The Museum of the Surrender and a tour of the Taittenger Champagne House too. Thank you Au Tambour for a wonderful stay and final stop on our French road trip!
