We stayed while the whole downtown area is undergoing road works. A tramway line is being installed, so walking around the hotel was not extremely pleasant. However, there was no sound coming from the construction site to our room.

It's a nice place, extremely well located . The hotel has a quaint style that we loved, but it comes with its drawbacks. The rooms for one person are a bit small, but one we had for a couple was better. Also, don't expect the card key, it's still the good old iron key here, and that's cool !

It is a little dated in the facilities but in effect it's got a real retro charm and they are playing on that. Breakfast was ok not amazing and service to get more items not great.

The location is excellent, the room itself was generously sized and clean. It was quiet but the whole hotel was quiet. There was a live music event that night but I think the staff were careful to allocate us a room as far away as possible so it was no problem. This is what you'd think of for a French hotel circa 1965 - cage lift, bell on reception, real key, bistro atmosphere and red velvet.

Reception upon arrival not particularly friendly. Plus I had specified a room with sea and city view. The room they put us in had neither. They finally moved us to a room with those criteria, but not graciously.

Excellent location, bed a bit soft. Decor clean but outdated

Room temperature: was on maximum when I arrived. Eventhough I turned it off completely, it was still too hot during the night

Very ok for a one night stay before sailing. Good location close to the railway station. Not very fancy, but clean and friendly.

I can see the hotel may not be to everyone's liking bit it was quirky and solid from a practical point of view. Ideal for us.

We went to see Melvyn Taylor play in the basement venue so location was ideal. Good continental breakfast. Staff cheery and helpful. Brasserie/bistro excellent. Rooms dated but clean and entirely satisfactory.

Great location, good rooms, superb and helpful staff. Breakfast was OK, nothing exceptional. The restaurant/bar is very tasty, but a little overpriced - good if you don't want to leave the building :)

Checkout at 11am, too early for those who partied at the cabaret.

The Vauban cabaret which is located in the basement of the hotel, just need to take the elevator and cross the bar to get there.

The building is very old and as a result the floor boards in our room were extremely loud and creaky when walked across. If you travel with someone it will be completely impossible to sneak to the bathroom without waking the other person up. The shower head post was broken, so when you set the height for your shower it very well might slide or fall back down to the lowest height. Also the shower door is poorly designed, making accidental flooding onto the bathroom floor very easy. There was no water boiling equipment in the room for making tea or coffee, and no small refrigerator. There is a radiator for wintertime but no air conditioning. The worst part is while we were leaving we had to take the stairs because a family of three were stuck in the only, very small elevator... it literally malfunctioned and got stuck between floors with the family stuck in it. At least the seem to have gotten the family out of there quickly and the elevator was 'functioning' again that same day, but we would never trust it again.

The Hotel and our room were clean. The location was fantastic for people who'd be touring Brest on their feet like we were.

The only thing I can complain about is that the floor of the shower was very slippery it needs a mat

The location was central The staff were very helpful and friendly The room was a very good size I would recommend the Vauban to anyone visiting Brest in France

We stayed one night and everything was fine. The room is really comfortable, nice (beautiful white furniture) and calm. Excellent location at the center of Brest.

breakfast hours weren’t early enough for me to catch my early morning train….

decore, architecture, furniture, bar, club, guests!!!

No free parking, but enough space to park Cars at a lot across the street

Location was ideal, very close to city centre and the room was very clean.

The receptionist on arrival was rude and unhelpful. Hotel interior is very dated. No air conditioning and noisy fans from the neighbouring buildings with the windows open meant it was difficult to sleep during a hot summer night. Basic breakfast.

Central location close to the train and bus station. Cheap rates but you get what you pay for...
