This place was really good value, I have no complaints. The ladies at the reception were friendly, the room was clean and easy to access, and it was close to lots of restaurants, bars, and a supermarket. I was travelling by bike, and was able to store it in their cellar, but I needed to leave before reception opened so they were fine with me taking my bike up into the room with me. Worth knowing that the stairs are very narrow and spiral up, so don't count on this option if you have a huge amount of gear hanging off your bike.

A great, budget friendly hotel. Welcoming and helpful staff at sister hotel where you can leave your luggage before and after check in. Loved the location, a bit noisy but so central. The room was small, basic and clean. Nantes itself is a fabulous city to visit, walkable, full of culture with lots of artistic events and wonderful food too!
Minor things like no mirror or kettle in room and would have liked an extra towel and more pillows. Temporary tramline disruption.

The hotel is in a great location
This hotel has three different addresses and two separate reception areas — one of them is open 24/7 and offers luggage storage, but Booking.com only provides the address of the other one, which has limited hours. That already caused confusion upon arrival.
I stayed for two nights and booked a room with one double bed and a desk. After picking up my keys, I didn’t check the room immediately as I had plans, but when I returned, I found that I’d been given a room with two single beds and no desk. Since I work remotely, I had to sit on the floor to use my laptop, which was both uncomfortable and unprofessional. I also couldn’t sleep properly on a single bed, and ended up getting no rest that night.
The next morning, I asked to switch rooms. The staff told me a correct room would be available by 13:30, but only through the other reception. I returned at that time, exhausted and needing both rest and to continue working — only to be told the room wasn’t ready yet. I finally got the proper room at 15:00, with no compensation, or refund offered for the first night.
Everyone should simply do their job properly. It’s the bare minimum.

Great location, only ten minute walk to tourist attractions like Le Château de Nantes and only a twenty minute walk to the train station. The room was clean, a bit cozy in size but not too bad, and the bed was comfortable. The staff at reception was friendly and access to a kettle was appreciated even without having to pay for breakfast (but only during the limited reception hours). Also very cheap, our cheapest accommodation in our whole three month trip across Europe, so great value for money! Cheap without being 'dodgy' in any way.
It was not made clear to us until it was too late that we had to inform in advance if we wanted to check in before 5pm. Our train arrived at 2pm so we just had to kill three hours with all our luggage by chilling in parks or at a restaurant, which wasn't the end of the world but it was very hot and it was a bit vexing knowing that we could've gotten our room earlier if we had known to ask that morning, we had to go through many different pages on their website to access that information when it probably should've been sent as a message, as we only found out too late. The room was also quite hot, and access to a fridge would've been appreciated.

I absolutely loved Petit Duquesne: my double room was spotlessly clean, modern and comfortable. In spite of the August heat and no AC, there was a fan and with windows open it was quite cool at night. The staff were amazing: as soon as I arrived, lovely receptionist Aida saw that I was hot and tired and welcomed me with ice cold water, so kind! They even brought me a kettle so I could make tea in my room. Super central location, quiet and safe.

The staff were lovely and helpful, the price was very cheap yet the room had everything needed for a one night stay. It was fairly clean and the room had a ventilator. The location is super central.
The room was extremely tiny so for bigger travelers it could have been a problem. It was also quite hot. Checking in late at night wasn’t the easiest as the staff is shared between several hotels, but they were friendly and responsive. It wasn’t so clear to me that the night reception was going to be at a different location than where I was staying.

Location of this hotel is great, and it was very good value for money. I arrived at 3 but I was able to check in, even though official check in time is 5 pm. I checked in in the hotel Duquesne which is just down the road. The room was a good size and very clean, the bed was comfy too. After I checked out I was able to leave my luggage in the hotel Duquesne again, since my flight wasn't until the evening. There is a supermarket across the road, cafe on one side of the hotel and boulangerie on the other, so I didn't get breakfast in the hotel.
There is no kettle in the room, I missed it. My room was on the 4th floor without a lift, so it was a bit of a trek and the staircase is fairly narrow - it could be a pain if you have a big suitcase. My room was missing the "do not disturb" sign even though I saw it on other room's door.

Located in city centre close to all amenities, tramp and bus. Very easy to get from airport to the hotel and only for 1.80€ per person. A TIP if you are going to get the breakfast much better the one for 10€ you get fresh bread, crepes, fresh soya milk… It is really worth it.

Good size room, our room was on the same floor as the reception area. Was able to check in early by going to their sister hotel up the block. Okay wifi speed. Comfy bed. Great location near busy shopping area with plenty of restaurants, bus/metro lines right outside. Requested hot water kettle from the receptionist.
Slightly dirty carpet. Did not like the open shower with no curtain and just 1/3 third of a wall, water splashed over into bathroom floor. Slight bad sewer smell coming from the bathroom. Could hear water running from upstairs rooms from toilets. Tiny television mounted on other side of room.

I appreciate that it was really very clean and no bad smell at all. Pillows were fluffy and comfortable. Towels were ok and not too thin and old. Bed was very comfortable. Sheets were really clean. The heating works very well so the room and bathroom are warm enough. Good location ofcourse.
The receptionist tried to put me in a not desirable room which is an annex in the Hotel Duquesne. He said there was no other available room but I was on that time seeing on the booking.com app that there were still 2 rooms for the same room I paid for. It was dark and not really pleasant so no wonder it was the ‘only’ available room. His English was not good so communication was utterly poor! I don’t think he is suitable being a receptionist as he didn’t have that natural friendly, helpful, welcoming attitude. He seemed confused and not confident about his work. Maybe he is new. I don’t know. After demanding that the room was unacceptable he gave me another room in the original Le Petite Duquesne. It was an unpleasant experience in this place.
