"Bonjour, J’y ai passé 5 nuits!! Wow! Les photos étaient très bien représentés. Pas de surprise! Auberge jeunesse très chaleureux. Les Gens de cette petite ville sont très gentils et courtois! Très coloré comme établissement. Très propre même dans les dortoirs de 8 personnes. Les voyageurs sont respectueux. donc il est bien pour dormir avec le décalage horaire et prendre le rythme du pays. A l’hôtel,Il y a resto-bar pour petit-dej, dej et dîner $, sur place avec boissons alcoolisées. Pas de cuisinette pour préparer des repas mais il y a frigo, micro-ondes pour le nécessaire . L’attraction « L’île des Machines » se trouve juste devant. Environ 2 a 10 min de marche pour Boulangerie,fromagerie, herboristerie,café, épicerie à proximité. Le centre-ville de Nantes ce trouve à 25 mins à pied même avec les travaux. Le bus Naolib pour le centre-ville de Nantes (Château des Ducs)et la gare SNCF aussi (où se trouve des navettes pour l’aéroport) est juste en face de l’hôtel. Un « must » pour Nantes ❤️Alors pour le reste allez à la découverte 😊✌️"

8/10 Good
"Enjoyed my stay at this hotel, which is about 20 minutes' walk from the station and close to tram and bus stops. The location was good for getting to the centre of town and the Machines de l'Île. Definitely worth paying a bit extra for a river view as this was wonderful. The room had good and bad points. The bed was comfortable and the room seemed to be very well sound-proofed - there was a student party down the corridor but we couldn't hear it at all! The room was very warm and didn't have aircon but a fan was provided and we opened all the windows. The towels were very small.It was great to have a kettle and microwave, and there was a supermarket nearby where we bought microwaveable meals. The hob didn't seem to work though. Overall I'd recommend this place."
