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?!

Très bon hôtel mais petit dej décevant

Chambre très confortable et spacieuse . Très jolie vue . Très beau cadre sur la vilaine. Très bon accueil . Rideau occultant . Literie au top . Télé grand écran. Salle de bain avec baignoire et douche séparée . Par contre , et c’est très étonnant , petit déjeuner plus que décevant pour ce niveau d’établissement : Il faut choisir la veille sur un papier ce que l’on veut manger le lendemain matin. Comment savoir précisément à l’avance ? J’ai donc demandé pain café brioche . Il y avait d’autres choses possible comme des œufs etc . Le lendemain, il y a donc bien un table où couper du pain, de la confiture du miel sur la table et on m’apporte 1 tranche de brioche . Je suppose que si j’avais demandé , on m’en aurait donné une autre mais bon le système m’a un peu gâché le moment … où est le buffet libre service pour répondre à l’envie du matin présent ? Étonnant pour ce très bel hôtel.

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.
