Stays in Agen

I would recommend Hôtel Château des Jacobins to families who want a characterful base in central Agen. The 19th-century private mansion has air-conditioned rooms with flat-screen TVs, minibars, modern en suite bathrooms and free WiFi. A continental breakfast is served in an elegant dining room or on the terrace. The Garonne is 500 metres away and the train station 1 km, so a family can manage on foot.

Serra Boutique Hôtel in Agen has a children's playground and a garden, which is worth noting for a four-star in a city. Rooms are soundproofed and air-conditioned, with garden or city views. Parents get a sauna, a fitness centre and a beauty salon, and the restaurant, bar and terrace mean dinner without leaving the hotel. Breakfast offers diverse options. I recommend it to families who want comfort and something for the children on site.

DOMITYS - Les Vergers d'Ebène in Agen offers one-bedroom apartments with a living room, a fully equipped kitchenette, air-conditioning and a balcony overlooking the garden or the city. For a small family, the separate living room and the kitchenette make several days easier, and the walk-in shower is practical. The garden and sun terrace give outdoor space, and there is a restaurant and a bar on site. Parents can use the sauna and the fitness room. WiFi is free. No pool or play area is listed.

Mercure Agen Centre has an outdoor swimming pool with a large sunbathing terrace, the main attraction for children on warm days in the south-west. Rooms are air-conditioned with private bathrooms and satellite TV, and private parking makes arriving by car easy. Internet access is free. From here, Agen's cathedral and the canal bridge carrying the Canal de Garonne over the river are easy outings. I would book it for a family stopover in summer, with afternoons by the pool.

Appart'City Confort Agen Centre is an air-conditioned residence in Agen's historic city centre, a short walk from the SNCF train station, and I find the studios practical for families. Each is fully furnished with an equipped kitchen, a flat-screen TV and a private shower. A laundry facility is available, which helps on longer stays, and a daily buffet breakfast offers gluten-free options. Pets are welcome.

Le Quai 6 offers modern studios in Agen, each with a fully equipped kitchen, a washing machine, air-conditioning and a private bathroom. For a small family, the kitchen and washing machine make a stay of several days easier, with meals and laundry handled in the studio. WiFi is free and every unit has a work desk. The train station is close by, which suits families arriving without a car. As these are studios, space is limited, so it fits a couple with one young child best.

Cit'Hotel Stim'Otel is a three-star in central Agen with 58 air-conditioned rooms and a large car park, convenient for families on a road trip through the south-west. The restaurant serves traditional cuisine, so dinner is easy after a long drive, and breakfast is a buffet. Reception is open 24 hours and pets are accepted. I recommend it to families who want a central, practical stop in Agen with parking and a meal on site.

Campanile Agen provides baby kits on request, a practical detail for parents travelling with very young children. The three-star sits about 2 kilometres from the city centre and train station, with air-conditioned rooms, private bathrooms and free WiFi. Its restaurant serves seasonal and regional dishes, so dinner is easy after a day out, and breakfast is a daily buffet. Pets are welcome too. I would choose it as a simple, family-friendly stopover when passing through Agen.

Independent studios with terraces make Résidence Columba a flexible choice for families staying a while near Agen. Each unit has a fully equipped kitchenette, there is a laundry room on site and a fitness room for adults. Children will like that the Aquasud swimming pool and leisure centre are just steps away, and the banks of the Garonne are within walking distance. Free private parking helps since the city centre is a short drive away. Guests rate it 8.0.

The train station is 200 metres away. As a studio, space is limited, so it suits a couple with one young child best.

B&B HOTEL Agen offers comfortable, soundproofed family rooms with air conditioning, private bathrooms and work desks, and I find it a sensible, inexpensive-feeling base for families on the road. WiFi is free, there is a lift and complimentary private parking on site. A continental buffet breakfast with local specialities is available. The hotel is near Agen Exhibition Centre and Stade Armandie. Pets are welcome.

I would consider the Ibis Agen Centre for families who want a plain, central base in Agen. The hotel was renovated in 2026, and its rooms are air-conditioned and soundproofed, with free WiFi. The reception is open 24 hours, which helps with late arrivals, and the buffet breakfast offers sweet and savoury choices. Saint Caprais Cathedral is only 500 metres away, so the first walk of the stay is easy.
