    I upgraded the room for 2 pers but it was still very small. Also the bed was fine for one, but would not have been ok for two.

    The proximity to the train station and the beautiful botanical gardens.

    Step up into shower was awkward at nearly 1ft. No air-con meant opening the window onto a noisy street. Parking option is on rough ground at side of hotel and not at all secure.

    Room was a decent size. Located on a street full of bars and small restaurants. Fifteen minute walk to heart of city.

    The Wi-Fi: you get the icon on your phone but very little data comes through and you have to keep on signing in repeatedly

    Room was a good size for the price Although on first sight it appears to be in a bad location it is actually very close to the town centre. Staff very helpful Safe place to put my bicycle

    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

    Typical French two star hotel with a warm welcome.

    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.
