Hostellerie La Briqueterie  

I liked the informal check in, and the knowledge of who you were without you having to say

1St night there was a welcome bottle of water and some cakes in the room, then chocolates on the pillow when you retired. 2Nd and 3rd nights there was nothing.Menu didn't change at all, and if you are there for more than one night, there should be some changes.Being Champagne region, a half bottle of Champagne in an ice bucket in your room would have been a nice touch. Room rate very high, considering breakfast was extra.

Fabulous place to relax. Wonderful food, extreme comfort and the best sommelier ever

Hi level of service, nice attentions like a chocolate egg in the room. Also the food is quite good. I enjoyed the luxury level and service in this hotel and the swimming pool with jacuzzi and sauna and hamman.. The wine choice was one of the biggest I ever saw with even wines from 1928.

The price of the breafast and some of the drinks are very high, and my main meal dish dissapointed me, but all in all this is a high end hotel in the champagne area.

The latest of numerous visits, with the facilities obviously upgraded after the hotel changed hands. Comfortable room with bold colours, though expensive in the way of Relais et Chateaux. Dining room was almost empty, a pity since the cooking is very good, with recent Michelin star. Food and service high-class, though the two weekday menus are overpriced. Altogether a nice place to stay and very convenient for the champagne area.

The wine list is silly, hugely expensive grand wines but no real evidence of an informed choice of more affordable wines - "Overseas" list had about 6 wines, after many pages of first growth clarets at vast prices. Management needs to look seriously at their wine list and pricing policy.

Almost everything!

Too little space for storing clothes etc in the room.

The restaurant was the main highlight during our stay. The food was truly the best we have had anywhere.

The restaurant was excellent and the bar was very comfortable. A walk in the garden was lovely.

The location in a small triangle between two roads was not so nice. Especially during the day when there is a lot of traffic which one hears constantly. For a one night stay when one is not spending much time at the hotel it is fine. I would not suggest this hotel for several nights because of the location. The fact that the wireless access only worked in the reception area needs to be addressed!

Ambience is superb. Facilities superb.

I am afraid on this occasion the restaurant staff seemed pre-occupied and the attentive service wasn't up to what is expected. I was diappointed with the choice of glasses of wine which was limited and far too expensive. The wine chosen was bitter which suggested the bottle had been opened for some time and served not at the right temperature.

The food was invariably excellent, Michelen quality

Some of the wines are - by current difficult times standards - eye- waterinlgy expensive E.g paying €20 for a single glass of red - albeit very good red - to accompany my cheese course was a shock. I guess most of the guests were paid for by their companies and worried less about the bill

Our stay was quite lovely in every way. We had wonderful food in a relaxing atmosphere. It is quite pricy, but a lovely break.

The really nice touch of receiving the macarons on arrival :) The very friendly staff and their constant attention to detail. The food was amazing as was the beautiful bottle of Sancerre to accompany it - one of the best dinners we have had in a long time and fairly good value too!

Pleasant relaxed stay. Great comfort and good service.
