My favorite hotel in Rennes. I’ve stayed in two other places and it was less than impressive. Everyone is super polite and accommodating. The spa is awesome. Excellent location. Nice rooms. I slept like a baby!

AC didn't work. Interesting garage elevator but you have to go the wrong way down the street to enter. It's confusing more than the usual France. Rooms are adequate but small. Nice though. Showers don't contain water so someone standing at the sink will get wet feet. Consider this a budget Hotel with a decent location if walking. Not far from the train.

The staff at this hotel were incredibly kind and helpful. The rooms clean and the breakfast awesome. Our biggest complaint was that everything seemed to be broken. When we arrived the car park was down, the spa, the steam room, the fitness equipment and the shower head. It was a bit disappointing, but good hotel overall.

And I could have been absent in that moment, and the guests enteri...

Frustration; the sounds of the street carry into the rooms on the upper floor, there is no soundproofing. The gym is a joke; no weights, the only equipment is broken, the treadmill is installed at an upward angle, it is hot (sauna behind the wall) and dark; you couldn't turn on the fan or the treadmill without the cell phone light. The gym was the main reason why we booked the rooms for a week at ...
