We escaped the Best Western in Epernay and stayed here. It's hard to believe they're both 3 star hotels. The Best Western should be 2 stars and the Castel Jeanson, 4 stars. Wonderful service, beautifully appointed rooms, indoor parking -- we could not have been more pleased. It is a bit pricey, but we thought it was worth it. Don't... more

We have stayed here on many occasions and always enjoyed our stay. Great place to explore Champagne area from. more

We booked into this perfectly pleasant hotel in Ay after reading reviews on TA. Discussed booking the recommended local restaurant (Les Vieux Puits) with the helpful hotel staff on the phone who told us that there was no need to book. On checking in we were told that the restaurant was closed ('it always is on Wednesdays and Thursdays'). After... more

If you would like to stay in a quiet village, this is the perfect spot. The town of Aÿ is just 5 minutes outside of the touristy town of Epernay and has narrow streets and little traffic. The Castel Jeanson is nestle at the top of the village with vineyards just behind it. The cheerful staff greeted us with extreme... more

We stayed here on our way down to the french alps. The hotel was very clean and is located on a quiet street in Ay. The hotel is a few km from Epernay, which is about a 12 euro taxi ride but its worth it in order to stay in such a nice and quiet location. The hotel has its... more

This hotel is actually in Ay, just over the river from Epernay, but nevertheless a short drive. We chose this hotel for a one-night stop over on our drive between Zurich and the UK. It is a beautifully converted champagne house, with an attractive courtyard, small swimming pool and efficient and friendly staff (Nadine in particular). There is a locked... more

A great little boutique hotel. All of the rooms have their own style but are well equipped with modern bathrooms, wireless internet, tv, phone, hair dryer etc. The front desk staff was very helpful in ordering taxis, looking up train times, confirming our dinner reservations, etc. My only drawback was that as we hadn't rented a car, the 10-12 EUR... more

We stayed for two nights (March 13-15) at the Castel Jeanson in the village of Ay. It was part of a honeymoon trip through Europe. We found the location perfect to explore the Champagne region, close to Epernay and Reims, rather in a quiet and cosy village surrounded by wineyards. Our reception at the hotel was full of attention and... more

We stayed at Castel Jeanson as part of a road trip across France. We had an excellent stay and were suprised that it only has three stars. The location and facilities are excellent. The village is just outside Epernay, we were able to go walking through the vines just behind the hotel and afterwards relax in the pool. They also... more
