"Super accueil et chambre confortable. Le duel point est la qualité de la nourriture. J'ai commandé une salade César et le poulet n'était pas cuit. Le déjeuner je vous déconseille les œufs brouillés si on peut appeler ça dès œufs. Pour le reste le service était excellent"

"It's in walking distance to attractions, restaurants and cafes. I booked in a single room but when I went there for check-in I have been told my room was upgraded to double room and didn't need to pay extra for it which was great. The lady in reception was very helpful. The double room was clean and well-equipped."
Eklo Hotels Nantes City center - Île de Nantes
"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 😊✌️"
