Okko Nantes Château: A Modern Gem with Exceptional Location and Service
Okko Nantes Château, a Michelin Key Selected property, consistently receives high praise for its contemporary design, prime location, and outstanding hospitality, making it a popular choice for both business and leisure travelers in Nantes.
1. Overall Rating & Sentiment
The general consensus for Okko Nantes Château is overwhelmingly positive, with guest ratings often in the "Excellent" to "Wonderful" range, typically scoring 9.0 to 9.2 out of 10. Many guests describe it as a "top hotel" and "highly recommendable" for its modernity and thoughtful design.
2. Key Highlights
Guests consistently laud the hotel's unbeatable central location near the Château des Ducs de Bretagne and its innovative "The Club" concept. This communal area, designed by Patrick Norguet, offers a 24/7 all-inclusive experience with free snacks, hot and cold drinks, a fitness area with a sauna, and a business corner. The modern, sleek design and the exceptional service from the staff are also frequently highlighted.
3. Room Quality
The rooms at Okko Nantes Château are described as modern, sleek, functional, cozy, and immaculate. Designed by Patrick Norguet, they are typically around 17-20m² and feature air conditioning, soundproofed windows, a satellite TV with free on-demand channels, and free Wi-Fi. Each room also includes a Nespresso coffee machine with capsules and a safe. The beds are double (160cm x 200cm) made with natural fibers, and the bathrooms boast Italian showers, Omnisens cosmetic products, and high-end hairdryers. While compact, guests appreciate their comfort and design.
4. Dining Experience
The dining experience is a strong point, particularly the generous buffet breakfast, which includes organic and fresh food and is often cited as excellent. In the evenings, the hotel offers a copious "Aperitivo" with local cheese, deli meats, soups, and savory tarts, embracing an "Italian tapas" concept, which is a popular offering for guests to relax. Additionally, "The Club" provides snacks and refreshments around the clock. An on-site restaurant, "Cave à manger," serves lunch and dinner.
5. Service & Staff
The service and staff receive consistently high ratings for being "fabulous," "friendly," "attentive," and "extremely welcoming." Guests often commend their readiness to help and their contribution to making stays enjoyable.
6. Location & Accessibility
Okko Nantes Château boasts an "unbeatable" and "prime" central location in Nantes, just a few steps from the iconic Château des Ducs de Bretagne and Saint-Pierre Cathedral. It's ideally situated for exploring the city's attractions, vibrant shopping districts (like Galleries Lafayette), and a wide array of dining options in areas like Bouffay. The hotel is also highly accessible, being only 900 meters (about a 10-minute walk) from the Nantes SNCF train station and less than 500 meters from tram and bus stops, including Saint-Pierre and Commerce Tram Stop. Private parking is available on-site for an extra cost.
7. Value & Pricing
Guests generally perceive Okko Nantes Château as offering "affordable luxury" and "great value for money." The average price per room is around $110, which is considered reasonable given the excellent service and amenities provided. However, the private parking, while convenient, is often noted as being expensive (around €20-21 per night).
8. Common Complaints
While largely positive, some recurring criticisms include the compact size of the rooms and, for some, a mattress that was "a bit hard." A more specific complaint relates to the bathroom design, where some guests find the layout awkward due to having to walk through the wet shower area to access the sink and toilet, leading to limited privacy and wet floors. Occasional temporary issues with heating have also been reported. The cost and availability of private parking can also be a point of contention for some travelers.

We stayed three nights stay at OKKO in Nantes in early January. Reception staff were efficient and helpful. We particularly enjoyed yummy healthy breakfasts in Le Club. Only thing we found somewhat odd was the set up of the bathroom where one had to actually walk through the shower stall to access the toilet and sink. Beds were comfy and room was kept very clean. Definitely would stay at OKK...

Nice hotel in a good location. You get access to a nice seated area where there are complimentary drinks and snacks with a few gluten free options. The breakfast was extra but decent. Rooms are air-conditioned with comfortable beds, but a strange setup with the bathroom. The toilet cannot be accessed without having to walk through the shower? What genius designed that?!?

Second stay at an Okko hotel. This one is in a good location, staff helpful. Gym is small with cardio equipment and free weights. Room has the essentials, no teabags😔. Bed comfy enough, air conditioning is ok. Negative thing would be the shower area, to get to the toilet you need to go through the shower are, not so good when you've had a shower. Breakfast- good choice, cheese and meats, breads,...
