    A TYPICAL INDEPENDENT FRENCH HOTEL
    • Leisure trip

    Rooms are unexpectedly small. At least well distributed

    Breakfast: TOO poor, not a piece of ham or cheese, although the rest was good.

    ON OUR DEPARTURE DAY WE LEFT THE LUGGAGE IN HOTEL KNOWING THAT THE RECEPTION CLOSES DAILY FROM 12 TO 3 P.M. - WHEN WE ARRIVED AT 3 PM TO PICK UP THE LUGGAGE WE HAD TO WAIT TIL 4 P.M. SINCE THE RECEPTION WAS CLOSED AND NOBODY REPLIED TO THE EMERGENCY NUMBER - WE RISKED TO LOOSE OUR FLIGHT - NOT SERIOUS BEHAVIOUR TOWARDS CUSTOMERS

    POSIZIONE CENTRALE VICINO AL CASTELLO DEI DUCHI DI BRETAGNA - CENTRAL POSITION VERY CLOSE TO THE CASTLE

    Typical French two star hotel with a warm welcome.
    • Leisure trip
    • Solo traveler
    • Comfort Single Room
    • Stayed 1 night

    You've seen the stairwell in multiple French movies, spiralling upwards to eternity. It's better to travel light when tackling the stairs to your room.

    Nice two-star hotel within walking distance of Nantes railway station. You can literally walk out of the station, straight to the hotel. The staff members are friendly, helpful and very welcoming. There are plenty of hospitality options near the hotel. It is located on rue Maréchal Joffre, a section of which is closed off in the evening to facilitate outdoor dining. The Jardin des Plantes opposite the railway station is an oasis of calm in the centre of Nantes.

    Breakfast could be improved by adding some cheese or protein and closer to the price. Without it, I find it a bit expensive. Adding a light for the table would be a welcome addition.

    My room, location in building and bed were comfortable. A fan was provided in the room was well-appreciated & well-used as it was a warm night even with the window opened.

    The smell. It was mentioned in other reviews. I think it was coming from the toilet. We made sure that the bathroom door was shut. It was also stuffy, but luckily it wasn't hot outside, so we were able to sleep with the windows shut. It would be impossible to sleep with the windows opened though as our room faced main road and was noisy till late. Those two issues didn't spoiled out holiday. For 2 stars hotel did really good

    The Hotel is lovely, quirky, and answered our purpose beautifully. My daughter and I came for a weekend stay to explore the area. Train Station, But to the airport, city center - everything is very close to it. We stayed for 3 nights, the room was spacious, was cleaned every day, the bed is comfortable. Botanical garden 2 min away, other main attractions within walking distance. There was a little train on the square in front of Peter and Paul cathedral, which was taking you around the center and main city sights. We had very late arrival due to our flight been delayed, around 23.30, the gentleman at the reception waited for us and gave us detailed instructions about everything we needed. Thank you very much for that. We didn't order breakfast, but I had a look at it out of interest and it was decent, rolls, jam, fruit, coffee. View was beautiful, we were on the 3d floor. We were there only for sleep, it provided us good base. Quite happy with that.

    The room was very clean and the bed was comfortable. The location is excellent. There is no air conditioning but a fan is provided. Although I was on a street room, I had no problems with noise due to the double windows.

    Overall, I found the hotel to be expensive, after paying for everything.

    The position of the property is not ideal for travellers with transport. There is only parking for 2 small vehicles at the back of the hotel. I was fortunate to be able to park in one of the spaces but was very surprised at being charged.

    On appearance from the outside I was very concerned on arrival. It looked very run down. The reception and eating area was quite pleasant until you climbed the old staircase which needed updating. However this Hotel has obviously undergone some refurbishment and I was impressed with the bedroom and en-suite area. Overall, It was OK for a few nights stay.

    The street that the hotel is in very lively, so to cut down the noise we were given a room on the 4th floor. There is no lift and it was a long way up the stairs, although the gentleman on reception did offer to carry our cases. As it was hot we had the window open, our choice, there was a fan, so it was still very noisy. I would stay here again without hesitation but would ask for a room on the first floor as the climb up the stairs bothered me more than the noise.

    The staff were lovely. Very helpful and even stayed on late so we could check in after 11pm as we had trouble with our trains. Very clean. Good size room and comfortable bed. It was an easy 10 minute walk from the station and about the same distance from the cathedral and shops in the centre of town. We found the location excellent.

    The street outside of the windows was a bit loud at night, but so is most of larger cities in France...

    It was very close to beautiful parts of the city. The church outside of the window can be perceived as an issue by some, but we loved it, it was a gorgeous sight!
