Staff member makes for memorable visit
This stay was the last night of a three week holiday which was planned last January as a stop over en route back to get our ferry. I thought i had prebooked parking but a change in their available parking meant i did not get a space. However Alexanne on reception came to rescue and not only gave up her space she also booked us a very good restaurant at short notice. Whilst Our room was very tight spacewise the hotel is lovely. i will know to book a bigger room. we had a super stay because Alexanne went the extra mile for us after our long journey. Thank you it made a huge difference.

What a well located nice place.
I had a pleasant stay here. Very comfortable and modern accommodation in a former church. Staff were very pleasant and helpful. Close proximity to town centre, numerous decent restaurants and less than five minutes from the train station. Will definitely stay here again when in Nantes.

Great hotel in former church
Really cool hotel in former church. Room was a good size and bed was comfortable. Staff all very friendly and helpful. Easy walk from train station, and right next to a large park, which is nice, but it is several blocks to restaurants and any kind of retail. Not an issue for us, but guests should be prepared for that.
