The WiFi never once worked in our room, and the staff kept making excuses, like they expected it would. But other guests had the same problem. We had to go outside or to the lobby to connect. There is no restaurant at the hotel, and it's a healthy walk to the downtown commercial area. Their bar/pub is nice and they will order food in for you, which we did one night. But it's not a real meal. Another night we did the 25 minute walk each way to a great restaurant, but had to be sure we got back before they locked the gate at 11pm. Hotel La Villa Eugene did have a few drawbacks we didn't expect.

Historic Villa with modern rooms! My husband and I stayed…read morehere for three nights. This hotel has all the modern amenities we wanted while away from home. The room was obviously recently renovated, which was great! The staff was really nice. Our room had small private balcony which we used daily! Unfortunately, I was not a fan of the garden in the back- it looked kinda sparse and sad. The pool looked nice but we didn't use it. I am glad this place had an elevator for our check in and check out with luggage. The hotel is right next door to Mercier Champagne, which is super cool! We are still telling stories about the Marcier Champagne place and everything we learned about Eugene Mercier. We walked down Avenue de Champagne daily and enjoyed walking to all the Champagne houses including Moet and Chandon. It's not that big of a deal, but they don't have a safe in the room. Also, they do not have 'do not disturb' signs which makes it hard if you don't want any maids coming in your room. Last thing, although minor- the key to the room is on a large heavy keychain and they recommend you leave it with the front desk when you head out for the day. First time I have seen a hotel do this- but its such a small and historic place, maybe it's normal for these kinds of hotels. Overall, I would totally recommend this place to friends.

Chef Stéphane Rossillon is brilliant with the dinners, as well as the breakfast and lunches - you truly don't need to venture outside to have a meal. The rooms are very unique and the set up is very cozy. We had a great tour with Anselme Selosse and was treated to some great vintages..he's very friendly and has a great sense of humor. He definitely takes his time to explain how different this region is compared to so many other regions within Champagne. The overall town of Avizes is quaint..takes time to get use to those bells going off at 7am each morning :)

This place was great and reasonable! Only negative was there was no AC (which is typical in…read moreÉpernay), but the breakfast, owner, location, free parking, cost, ambience, and overall comfort over compensates for it three fold.

A great hotel in Ay. The service as the front desk was amazing. As we checked in on Monday night,…read morewe were told that only one restaurant in Ay was open on Mondays, and the woman at the desk had already called to see if they had a booking (they didn't). She also managed to call a few places in Epernay to see if we could get in, and one of them agreed. She went beyond the call of duty for us. After checking in, she showed us around to let us know how everything worked. The rooms were great with great air conditioning and large-ish bathrooms. There's a swimming pool available (which we took advantage of one afternoon) as well. It's quite easy to get to in Ay (not that Ay is very big). They're also affiliated with a Champagne house down the street, so they offer a free glass of Champagne if you stop in (we did). There is free coffee, tea and Madelines throughout the day if you want to sit in the library and have some refreshment. There's also covered parking in a garage nearby. It's a great hotel with great service. I imagine we'll stay here again if we come back to the area.

Very charming Hotel!…read more The dinner at the restaurant was excellent from the beginning to the end. Congratulations to the chef The sommelier was wonderful very knowledgeable and very friendly, we enjoyed also the service from the Team at the bar and at the restaurant on Sunday night. The Champagne list is spectacular! The Big Star of the Hotel was Aline the therapist at the Spa, she is definitely a wonderful asset for your company Do not hesitate to book a massage or a facial at the Spa.

We had stopped at the Hostellerie la Briqueterie on our way from Calais to Provence…read more Location: The hotel is in Vinay which is a small town near Epernay. It was pretty central to the Epernay town centre, Avenue du Champagne and the big L.Leclerc if you needed anything. Arrival: Don't let the big wall on the street fool you. Once you turn into the driveway it's beautiful. Bellman: They were helpful and took our luggage to our room. Reception/Front Desk: Very friendly welcome. Lobby: The lobby area is ok with a couple of small sitting areas. Room: We were in room on the first floor. We booked a classic double room which was fine size wise and fit our needs for the stop over. View: We had windows that opened up to the front garden of the hotel. Bed: The queen size bed was very comfortable. Bathroom: The bathroom was fine. The size wasn't small, but it wasn't big. The shower and bathtub was one. Hair dryer: It was one of those which were attached to the walls. I am not a fan of these dryers because they're slow and this one you had to keep your finger on the button to keep it going. It died after awhile. Products: Etro products which were ok. If you want hair conditioner you need to call and ask housekeeping. Closet: The closest was very small and hidden. At first I didn't think we had one until we saw the small sliding door next to the mini bar. Safe: Regular safe in room available. Control Panel: N/A. Just a remote for the TV. Minibar: Very standard with the traditional options. Mirrors: There was one mirror. Housekeeping: Fine. Wifi: The wifi speed was good. Dining outlets we visited: The hotel has a bar, a michelin star restaurant and a patio where you can eat breakfast. 1. The bar was very cozy where we had a glass of champagne. Definitely have a drink there. 2. We didn't eat in the restaurant because we didn't feel like doing a fancy restaurant while on holiday even though the hotel really pushes it. 3. The patio where we had breakfast was disappointing. The service was bad, the food was below average and it was expensive. Breakfast is not included in the room rate and is 22 Euros per person. I asked for soft boiled eggs and they came out in between soft and hard. My husband asked for baked eggs and they came out like frisbees. Spa: Didn't check out the spa. Concierge: They did help us with reservations at Moet et Chandon and offered a few restaurant recommendations. Style: The hotel is very old school. Note: It was raining the two days were were in Champagne and unfortunately didn't get to fully experience their garden which looked amazing. We did a quick walk in between rain showers and there were nice paths, herb garden and open space to walk. Pet friendly: Dogs are welcome at 50 Euros per day - very expensive! They put a bed, water and food bowls in the room which is nice. Dogs are not allowed anywhere in the hotel except for the lobby area and the room. At 50 Euros you would think should be allowed everywhere in the hotel. Would I go back? Probably not. The hotel was fine, but it wasn't our style.

Touring the northern reaches of the Epernay champagne region, we found this local restaurant for…read morelunch. Very nice. The proprietor's daughter at a local champagne producer recommend this as the only real restaurant nearby. The menu was limited, as we expected, but the choices were good. After tasting champagnes throughout the morning, we didn't need a bottle with lunch. Just a glass. Plus a nice haddock and penne pasta dish with a cream sauce. We ate in a nice patio area, with most of the patrons local. Language was an issue, but with the limited menu we survived fine. This is a nice place to stop for lunch if touring the champagne region north of Epernay.

Besides the fact that this place didn't have a place to hang the shower head, it was awesome. I…read morereally hate it when I have to shower with one hand... but because this place is so great, I'll forgive. It was quiet, situated such that we could walk everywhere (champagne, food, shops - all close by). The decor was lovely (colorful and tasteful). The staff was very very friendly: 1.) they were not okay at all with us using plastic cups to drink our wine - they insisted that they get us proper wine glasses - YES!, 2.) they happily split the room 3 ways 3.) they were nice on check-in and check-out. Great experience, great price. I would definitely stay here again. Note that check-in and check-out times are very specific. Something like 3-8pm (check this when making reservations). Otherwise it is just not open.
