Apartment Le Refuge Des Cordeliers

12 rue des Cordeliers, 02000 Laon, France –

Helpful owner and offered parking for our motorcycles which was appreciated. Good location for discovering the town

Steven, United Kingdom

I had stayed here before on our road trip to Mallorca in October, and liked it mainly because of the stunning town of Laon with its fantastic cathedral and medieval town. Returned in May and as it was very hot the room was a bit uncomfortable without air conditioning. But the town really is a delight.

David, United Kingdom

Guillaume was a very amiable host...He made sure we had everything we needed. The place is really amazing

Jim, United Kingdom

The host was very flexible and rang us and offered to meet at a suitable time with the keys.

Julie, United Kingdom

Fantastic location, warm hosts and very nice apartment in the very centre of this little town, walking distance to all sights.

Timothy, United Kingdom

Very good restoration retained original features of this ancient property, while installing critical modern conveniences.

Benarm, United Kingdom

The host very kindly picked us up from the station. We had not realized the lower town where the train station is to be found means just that and a taxi is really neded to reach the old town. The apartment had a very nice sitting room and all the facilities were there to make light meals. The location for the old town was excellent

John, Australia

Lovely historic building that has been sympathetically converted with taste and style, location right in the old town and with views on cathedral towers (illuminated at night), comfortable mattress and bedding, plenty of towels, quirky/stylish décor, warm welcome by the owner.

Elizabeth, France

Quirky and interesting apartment. Relaxing room Friend of the owner checked us in and was really helpful Location in historic town close to Cathedral although area generally seems a bit run down Really helpful in arranging safe parking for motorbike

Vous dormirez dans l'ancien couvent des Cordeliers de Laon. Le logis construit en 1657 contre le mur de l'église du XIIIème siècle est classé Monument Historique depuis 1927. Vous bénéficierez du confort moderne dans un lieu historique préservé !

Passionné d'histoire et plus particulièrement celle de Laon, j'ai acquis ce monument historique en 2000 et l'ai entièrement restauré avec des amis en respectant les matériaux anciens.

L'établissement se situe à l'intérieur des remparts au cœur de la cité médiévale de Laon (le quartier le plus ancien de la ville), à 50 mètres des commerces et restaurants de la rue piétonne et de la Cathédrale, chef d'oeuvre de l'Art Gothique

The kitchenette had appliances that were not easy or obvious to use. Bathroom was too small. Sofa bed smelled and was very uncomfortable.. I could not sleep at all because it was so uncomfortable and smelled bad. The main bed was on a mezzanine level accessible only by steep ladder. Once on mezzanine you cannot stand upright. You would need to come down ladder to access bathroom in the middle of the night and could fall off the ladder if you are half asleep

It might be worth warning over-75's that the ladder to get to bed, and/or get up in the night is a bit hazardous for the less agile!
We found the location perfect.

The only possible downside was getting up the steep stairs to bed. The site should indicate that people with impaired mobility may find it hard to get to the bed, but there was always the possibility of using the sofa bed in emergency.

The loft bed for older people could be very tricky especially as there is no rail. Softer towels would be a bonus.

“Very uncomfortable”
- • Leisure trip

- • 2 rooms
- • Stayed 1 night
- • Submitted from a mobile device
Had to climb a ladder to get onto a floor mattress which served as a bed. The mattress was on a shelf across the ceiling . The ladder had no handrail and the sloping ceiling meant we had to crawl up the bed to get to sleep. Our friends could not climb the ladder in their room and therefore had to sleep on a sofa on the ground floor. We are reasonably fit 76 year olds but this place is very unsafe to stay.
Not applicable. There were no toiletries

“Great stop-over on the way to ferry port”
- • Leisure trip

Not really major negative points, but worth noting all the same to avoid any disappointments: parking is not close by so there is a short walk, the bed is situated on a mezzanine at the top of a relatively steep ladder/staircase so care should be taken if mobility is an issue (or night-time toilet visits are imperative!), no bathroom door (curtain instead) - also the toilet area is open to the mezzanine so there is not a great deal of privacy if that is an essential requirement for guests. Kitchen area offers good space for meal preparation - parts of it could have done with a better clean (cobwebs and dust on the glasses and on the serving implements stored on a shelf).
Lovely historic building that has been sympathetically converted with taste and style, location right in the old town and with views on cathedral towers (illuminated at night), comfortable mattress and bedding, plenty of towels, quirky/stylish décor, warm welcome by the owner.
