Top Rennes Hotel Reviews
Hôtel Lanjuinais
"Helpful staff. Close to public transport and a good supermarket over the road. Restaurants and bars nearby. We valued use of the kitchenette. Tea/ coffee provided to make in room. Good location for airport bus. Am enjoyable stay. Would recommend. Good value for money"
Campanile Rennes Centre - Gare
"Un très bon séjour comme d'habitude, l'équipe est toujours aussi charmante et disponible. La chambre, propre et spacieuse. Très bonne ambiance."
Le Nemours Rennes
"Excellent!"
Hotel des Lices
"Room clean and bed comfortable. However, if there are guests above, it is noisy. Sliding doors to the balcony are hard to slide and the darkening drapes need fixing in attachment (now there is the safety pin!). All in all, a good stay."
Aparthotel Adagio Access Rennes Centre
"Great simple apartment, has everything you need for a short stay. Bed was comfy, shower was good, receptionists friendly, easy walk into the centre location. Parking easy, lots of spaces and cost 12 euros for 24hrs."
Le Saint-Antoine Hotel & Spa, BW Premier Collection
"Fantastic location. Just a few minutes walk away from the train station. The old square is about 15 minutes walk from this hotel, which offers a real French city cafe restaurant vibe. Thankfully for those who wants a slower pace there is also an abundance of cafe and bars next to the Gare (train station) Overall it’s a very beautiful, relaxing, quiet hotel surrounded by busy city life."
Kyriad Rennes Centre Gare
"Extremely nice hotel for the money. We rented two rooms for a week. The rooms were clean and relatively large. The beds were very large and comfortable. Every member of the staff was exceptionally friendly and helpful. We had some hotter days of high 80s to low 90s F (29-33C) and the AC worked fine. The location is right across from the train station, so it was very convenient for day trips by train or bus. Wi-Fi worked well for some remote work. It was maybe 15-20 minutes walk to the historical sights of the city center. Even though our room looked over the plaza area in front of the train station, it was very quiet at night."
Appart'City Classic Rennes Beauregard
"Great little apartment for the price, bedding, towels etc were clean. We used the C4 bus into the town centre which is really easy."
Balthazar Hotel & Spa Rennes - MGallery Collection
"The Balthazar was beautiful and the location was great. We walked from the train station (15 mins) and also an easy walk to Cathedral etc. Rooms and lobby were clean and pretty. Staff were friendly and accommodating. Highly recommend!"
