Good hotel with easy access

This hotel provides good value for the money. It is next to a mall with the biggest Carrefore we’ve seen in a month in France! We also appreciated the close proximity to beautiful beaches. Breakfast was okay but it wasn’t up to the other Kyriad we stayed in near Angers. Staff are friendly and helpful. The desk clerk even came with me to my room to show me how to work the air conditioning! I have no hesitation in recommending this hotel.

Work hotel

On an industrial estate ,with shopping centre close by. Ideal for stop over ,but not as a holiday hotel as area not really suitable to be around at night,and a drive away from any scenic areas.great business stop over.

Cheap stop over

Friendly and helpful staff. Basic sort of hotel and furnishings, room too hot with window open. Breakfast not so good, poor at clearing tables, limited choice & a bit chaotic. Would look elsewhere if returning.

Excellent.

Excellent value for money. Service with a smile. Very clean. Bed a little uncomfortable due to cover on matress but we chose twin beds and the room would have connected to another so it might have been set up for children. We needed stop overs on our way to Spain this hotel beat the two previous ones hands down. Plenty of restaurants and shops in the area definitely would stay again Justine. Lancashire

Nice hotel

I was pleasantly surprised with quality of this hotel. Although it is only 2 stars, the room was nice, clean, with air conditioning (quiet, and very well located - you don't feel windy when it's working). Staff was quite helpful and spoke relatively good English (compared to French standards). Hotel has a very good location if you have a car and want to explore neighborhood -it is close to the highway and there is a large shopping area next door. Disliked - there was not soap tray in the shower. Nothing to put your stuff like shampoo, soap, sponge etc. It would take just a littele effort for the hotel to fix this inconvenience. And another one - the hotel offers free Wi-Fi internet, but when it suddelny went broke on Friday afternoon, nobody was able to fix it until next Wednesday.

Hôtel confortable

L'hôtel en lui même est moderne et confortable. Son emplacement au sein d'une zone commerciale et d'axes routiers très passants est en revanche peu agréable. Malgré l'amabilité du personnel, c'est un hôtel pratique mais sans âme

Soirée terrible en couple.(mauvaise réception)

Nous avions réservé 1 chambre pour 2 . On arrive à 14h comme noter sur l'annonce d'hôtels.com. Jai poireauté 1/2h avant que la personne ne me réponde car 2 appels pour dans 15j c'était plus important que moi qui étais devant elle. Donc elle m'a dit Non pas avant 15h !!! Mavoir fait poireauté pour juste ce renseignement. 8 personnes attendaient leur chambre le temps que j'étais là !... La nuit des gens parlaient fort dans le couloir et rigolaient comme des fous. Plus jamais l'hypocampe désolée.
