We didn't eat breakfast in the hotel, it is a minute walk from some lovely cafes, including La Cigale, where we went. I think that the hotel breakfast is huge.
The reception staff are the stand out feature of the hotel, especially Simon. Exceptional.

Very warm welcome from the staff.
The hotel is ideally located right in the center of Nantes, which makes it perfect for exploring the city.
Due to the many bars and restaurants nearby, there can be some noise at night, but it remains acceptable and part of the lively atmosphere of the area.
Our room was spacious, clean, and well equipped, with a beautiful view over the square. The only downside was that the bath towels were not fully provided β one set was missing.
Breakfast was good, though rather simple and not particularly exceptional.
Overall, a very pleasant stay in a charming hotel with an excellent location.

Location is excellent, right in the centre of the old town, easy access to everything around. Charming Hotel, Staff all very friendly and helpful. Mention to young 'Neo' for his help and attention.. Excelllent service from him.. Lift access if needed for upper floors which is always bonus..
Very comfortable beds, mostly all that I needed in the room. Very clean and tidy. Bice Nespresso machine and continental selection at breakfast..
Hot food at breakfast was not hot. Luke warm at best. Expected a little coffee machine in room but disappointed to find small instant sachets. Rooms were a bit on the snug side. Could be doing with some information in the room on sights etc., local knowledge.
Was not expecting mostly everything closed on a sunday which was not great, also be aare alot of restaurants close sun/mon also.

This hotel exceeded our expectations. It was the best hotel on our trip. It is perfectly located right at the Place Graslin, about 25 min walk from the railway station and easy access by tram. The staff are amazing and so attentive, from the moment you arrive until you leave, and all the time in between. The room was spacious, with a very comfortable bed and really soundproof, giving us our best sleep. Breakfast was fine. We could reach all our city sites either walking or by tram. There are plenty of bars and restaurants and pedestrian zones in that entire area.
