Holiday Inn Reims Centre, an IHG Hotel

Our room was very comfortable, quiet and spotless. The location was excellent. The carpark was very useful next to the hotel but using the 'carlift' was quite stressful in a big car! We ate in the restaurant where the food and service were very good but it was a disappointing space. We were sold it on the basis of it having amazing views of Reims but we could only see the view from the terrace which it was too cold to sit on. We were seated in a curtained off area which was a bit strange and very utilitarian. Other than that our stay was very good and the staff were all very friendly and helpful.

The greeting at reception was extremely friendly and welcoming. The hotel is in a great location within close walking distance of the town's attractions. The car park, although costing extra, is a real bonus as it makes for a stress-free experience when arriving by car. The parking bays are even a very generous size! Breakfast is very good and taken in a bright and airy dining room. We didn't eat at the restaurant (same place as dining for breakfast), however the food looked very good. The real bonus is that the dining area is on the 7th floor and has a small open area overlooking the street from where there's great views of the town and the cathedral. We had drinks there before heading off for the evening. We were lucky as we arrived on the weekend of the Reims medieval celebrations. It's a must-see! Don't miss the parade to the cathedral in the evening.

The reception personnel were fantastic. Sincerely caring and thinking of my best interest. Everything I needed was right there, fridge, iron, hot water kettle... the bed was comfortable, the bed Bouvet cover and bottom sheet and pillowcases, were super soft, smooth, and cozy. The pillows were nice. The drapery was good to keep out the light. The room (and the entire hotel) was quiet..the rooms must be sound proofed because I know there were others with children but I never heard noise. The heating cooling system worked and I was very comfy. The toiletries were nice. The view from the restaurant was superb.

Holiday Inn Reims Centre is about a 10 min walk from Gare de Reims and close to the shops as well as restaurants. It's within walking distance (about 10-12mins) to the Cathédrale Notre-Dame de Reims and about 30mins as per google to the Basilique Saint-Remi. It took us 20 mins by foot. There's also a Monoprix within a stone's throw from the hotel. Basically, it's in a quiet corner of the city but close enough to get to the touristy sites, the champagne houses and other noteworthy locales as well as eating spots if you came by public transportation.

The room was clean, comfy and quiet. Easy secure parking on-site. Staff courteous and very accommodating. Breakfast upstairs was nicer than most continental breakfasts. Scrambled eggs were eggs not powdered version like so many. We enjoyed the food and the various selections. Plus great views.
