The spa was amazing we had facials and it was definitely the best facial I've ever had! Then afterwards they brought us into a room on our own and offered us a selection of tea and cakes. They used 'nuxe' products which are amazing. The breakfast was so good! A great selection of pastries etc. I especially loved the 'compote de pomme' and the 'jus d'orange' I also loved the design of the hotel it's very modern and classy. Overall we had a lovely stay.

I always manage to find street parking (expensive at 3 euros for 1hr25min), except around noon and after 7 pm. I won't comment on the city, but I love taking the metro from here to the heart of the city, and this hotel is probably the coziest and friendliest I have found in France over the past tons of years. What do I like about this Kyriad (a chain of course, but this one is probably the only one of the chain I care for)? Very comfortable rooms, especially if one books the larger ones (a "salon" meant for 3 people), very friendly staff, mostly young women, kind and very professional. Very clean, clean, clean. A wonderful place to rest. I would just come here to have peace of mind. There is a decently priced Crepe and galette place 150 meters away to your left as you leave the front door..

I arrived in Rennes with nowhere to stay, and a friend told me about this hotel, so I gave them a…read morecall. The worker spoke English (thank the lords) and helped me book a room for the night. They require credit card information over the phone, and they sent me an email confirmation and allowed me to check in at 11pm. The room was clean, bed was comfy, showers were nice - but the trash in the bathroom wasn't cleaned out from the last guest (gross, I know). There's complimentary breakfast from 6am-10am: cereal, yogurt, eggs (ya gotta boil them yourself) some fruits, cheese, croissants, crepes, madeleines, coffee, orange juice. They held my luggage for me while I ran some errands, and I came back once at 2pm like we had agreed and I asked them to hold it for another 4 hours, which they said was no problem. Super friendly staff and overall nice place!

The location is great, walking distance to tons of restaurants and city squares. On the downside, the rooms are small, the bed is only 12 inches off the floor, the heating system was a bit outdated, and the shower only had half a curtain so there was always tons of water on the floor after a shower. Also, the internet blocks Skype and other VOIP calls. I stayed for 5 nights, and Rennes is a city with AMAZING quality food, made old-world style from scratch. Every restaurant I went to blew me away, the French really care about their food. The people in Rennes were some of the nicest I've ever met, including taxi drivers and store owners, basically everybody. There were beautiful women everwhere in this city, since there is a major university in Rennes. I would stay at this hotel again, but only after checking out a few other with bigger rooms and better beds.

It is a shame because their sister Hôtel Mercure in Brest was AMAZING. I'm giving them a five star review. It is really a case study in how big a difference service makes. I can find a nice room lots of places, so I see no reason to return to this hotel in Rennes. From the impersonal check-in, hurried and bad directions to a lunch destination, bungling our airport taxi request so that we were 30 minutes late leaving with the barest apology. Yeah, we're not going back. They should gets some tips from the staff in Brest about how to properly handle hotel customers.

We had called ahead to make a reservation, but could not get through: the operator said the "service did not exist." Perhaps it had closed, we thought. Since we couldn't get a reservation, we decided to just head there and take our chances. I did not tell the maitre d' that we had cruised for a half hour looking for a parking spot, but we did. Using the Apple map program for directions is a challenge in a European town you don't know, in which the announcer's French is so bad you don't have a clue what street she's talking about. We ended up in a parking garage and walked about five blocks to get there. At any rate, the maitre d' was snooty and not at all helpful. So I can't talk about the food, but the attitude is more what I would have expected decades ago. Most French are aware that tourism is a major industry for their country and act accordingly. I speak French, so he did not have that excuse. I would give it a zero for that reason, but that would make it appear I hadn't given a rating.
