Superb

Disappointing! Would not recommend.

Liked: There was a very small balcony overlooking the street with stools and a tray table but far too small really to sit out on
Disliked: First appearance of front of hotel looks shabby. Room was much smaller than anticipated very hot and claustrophobic. Bathroom was exceptionally small. Positioned in older part of the hotel on the second floor with narrow staircases. The lift is very small. Communal hallways carpets appear to have seen better days. Bedding made me itch! So I did not get a restful nights sleep this may have been the detergent the bedding is washed in or at least I hope it was this. There do appear to be some newer renovated rooms/ studios that look nice on the website unfortunately we did not have one of these. The paid parking is very tight to manoeuvre and round the corner from the hotel. We booked for 2 nights and did not stay for a second night we were not offered even a partial refund other than days parking and tax. It was disappointing the older rooms certainly should not be rated 3*. There was a fire alarm going off at 4am no member of staff to reassure us what was happening so we decided to evacuate there were lots of older guests staying who had to be advised and helped down the stairs but no staff about to advise us what was happening and no apology in the morning! It felt unsafe and concerning. I watched the staff pack away the breakfast items at the end of service food is recycled for next day even the hot food!!

If we are in Rennes...

Liked: Cute little hotel, great location for walking to the medieval heart of Rennes. And the breakfast was magnificent
Disliked: Parking was a bit wonky, but not a big deal. Great place

Comfortable; convenient for the city...

Liked: Breakfast was good
Disliked: Parking spaces very tight; difficult entry/exit.Staff were efficient

Enjoyable and easy stay in...

Liked: We were upgraded to a suite, which was a nice surprise. The suites were in a very quiet building which was nice. Not far from lots of restaurant all in one street. Would stay again and recommend
Disliked: The pillows! They were fancy square pillows which were most uncomfortable and unsuitableOblong pillows with ordinary pillowcases win every time!
