NOT a 4-star hotel!

NOT a 4-star hotel!! More an Ibis with a comfortable bed. Positives: near station/park, comfortable bed, management listened to feedback. Negatives: lacked character. Lobby was 80’s disco, not elegant (but front desk paintings were nice). Poorly trained staff; the night staff tried to be helpful, but didn’t know many things; I was told to ask the manager the next day. Was supposed to get a discount for spa services, which hotel website said included a massage service; I chose the hotel for a massage. However, I was told that massage wasn’t included in discount. Was supposed to get discount on food, but was told there wasn’t a restaurant. Asked if discount applied to buffet breakfast, but staff didn’t know. No onsite restaurant (only a breakfast room with expensive buffet breakfast). I went to lobby to order a drink and relax at the "bar", but no actual bar, just a few chairs in the lobby. And drinks must be ordered from room service, so was told to go back to my room to order from a QR Code. However, there was no QR code in my room, so staff had to bring one. Gave up and went to sleep. I stayed in the least expensive room, but still expected some interesting architectural elements. But they were mostly covered up with drywall. Furniture too large for room, making it cramped. Espresso maker was only slightly filled with water. no outlets near bed, poor lighting over vanity (kept trying to turn on even though it was already on), paper cups that didn’t fit the espresso maker.
Espresso maker not filled before check in
Paper cups (not mugs) and don’t fit espresso maker
Dim lighting at vanity
Spas services include massage, but was told couldn’t use "spa services discount " for a massage.

Comfortsble

The hotel was ok. We would not stay here again. The room was small and we were always left with the feeling of being cramped. Too often doors were slammed at late or early hours. You could hear water running from other rooms. The breakfast was expensive for what was provided. We have been traveling in France for 6 weeks now and this hotel was at the bottom of our list - despite great marketing. I was surprise at the resort fee since it was not a resort!

A very pleasant surprise

The owners have done a fabulous job in converting this former church property into a hotel. The desk staff were exceptionally helpful at check in giving us great advice on things to see and do in the limited time we had. Their dinner recommendations were great. We were very pleasantly surprised as to how good this hotel would be.

All good, but a couple of design faults. 1. It is too easy to bump the hot/cold lever in the shower which could really harm someone. Also the shower curtain could use some weighting at the bottom to prevent it billowing in while you shower. 2. Closet hangers face the wrong way making hanging things up inconvenient

Great boutique hotel in quiet part of Nantes

Very nice boutique hotel near beautiful Jardin des Plantes and a stone throw from the city centre. It's a converted chapel and beautiful details have been kept to create a modern stylish space. Staff was lovely and breakfast delicious.

Staff member makes for memorable visit

This stay was the last night of a three week holiday which was planned last January as a stop over en route back to get our ferry. I thought i had prebooked parking but a change in their available parking meant i did not get a space. However Alexanne on reception came to rescue and not only gave up her space she also booked us a very good restaurant at short notice. Whilst Our room was very tight spacewise the hotel is lovely. i will know to book a bigger room. we had a super stay because Alexanne went the extra mile for us after our long journey. Thank you it made a huge difference.
