Reviews and Ratings
They are not very big but practical, with comfy beds. However, the WIFI did not work at any time, and room service was not available when needed, citing it as 'not available during Summer' - a bit bland overall.
The hotel is situated at the back, welcoming dogs and allowing a maximum of three people per room. The initial room had issues with the air conditioning, but we were relocated to a better one. While the space might be limited for some, the hotel offers secure parking, a good spa, and clean, spacious rooms. The dining experience, however, needs improvement with inconsistent food availability during breakfast hours.
The hotel had a residual smell in the rooms and felt a bit understaffed with just two running the show for reception, restaurant, and rooms across two floors. On the bright side, the service was gentle and prompt with requests being met quickly. The location, although central in Rennes and within walking distance of attractions, might feel a little 'edgy' for some, especially later in the evening. The dining experience was acceptable but basic, needing improvement. The price seemed reasonable despite some facilities not meeting expectations.
