Just returned from a four day trip to Nantes. Hotel was faded, reception area is lovely but the rooms are terribly dated and no shower facilities just a tap over the bath. Very old television with no satellite facilities. Had breakfast there on first morning but althought the breakfast was adequate, there were so many people getting up and down for it, that we found it hard work. Location of the hotel is excellent and the reception staff were very helpful. We have visited many places in France but Nantes has been our least favourite. It is a very big bustiling city and not too relaxing.

The pictures on the hotel web site do not reflect the reality. It is in serious need of refurbishment. The hotel suffers also from the burger joint on the ground floor which is rather noisy at night (no double glazing). The hotel only good point is its location on Place Graslin in front of La Cigale Restaurant.

Can't fault this hotel. It is a little old fashioned in terms of decor but rooms and bathrooms are more than acceptable and it was great value. ?70 per night for a twin room. Location is ideal and the city is small enough anyway to walk to the far side of town in 10 minutes.

I stayed here with some colleagues for one night. The room was clean, Wifi worked, the bed was comfy, there was a lot of street noise from rugby people partying (which may not be always the case), the breakfast was good, and the staff helpful. It was also not expensive at EUR80 for a double. But I prefer modern hotels I guess which don't have 100 years of dust and worn carpets. The location was good. Near to the Cigale restaurant, which was a super building and interior, but rather uninspired cooking.
