Overnight stay in Rennes area

The hotel is in a picturesque area, surrounded by ponds and a canal and is very quiet. We had a large room with seating and views over the water. It's not a modern building as it once was a working mill. The hotel has its own restaurant but there are others nearby and free parking closeby.

Hotel with charm and character and view over river. (Frogs chorus at night, natural of course, might need blocks for the ears if keeping window open to ease heat). Relaxed, pleasant hotel crew. €13+ each added for breakfast seemed a bit much?!

Personnel très professionnel et compétent

J’ai été très agréablement reçu par le personnel qui a été très professionnel et très arrangeant. En effet, la personne de l’accueil est une ancienne qui a travaillé chez Hotels.com et j’ai dû écourter mon séjour pour maladie. Elle a réussi à m’arranger afin de relouer directement derrière et que je puisse rentrer chez moi sans avoir à payer de frais.

Pas terrible

La salle de bain ressemble à une salle de bain d’hôpital. Les chambres sont mal isolés. Pas terrible l’aspirateur à 7h30 dans la chambre d’à côté et le bruit de la tv. Une odeur d’hôpital dans toute la chambre…

내부 시설은 그런대로 좋으나 동네 운하에 면하고 있어 모기등 유입 가능성도 있고 그 때문인지 실내 복도에 차단문이 2, 3개 있어 통풍이 문제인듯 공기가 탁했습니다~
