I had a mixed experience at this hotel. On the plus side, the location is great for exploring the beautiful southern area of Bretagne, and the staff were welcoming and attentive. However, the room I stayed in had some issues, like a broken toilet flush and a high-up hairdryer. Additionally, the dining options could use some improvement.

The hotel had a great location near the river and was just a short walk from the beach, which I loved. The room had a lovely view of the estuary and a really comfortable large bed that made my stay quite pleasant. However, the service was outstanding, and the staff were incredibly kind and helpful.

I had a comfortable stay at this hotel, with a spacious room featuring a King-sized bed. The location is great, right by the river and close to the beach, making it convenient for exploring the area. However, the room felt a bit outdated, and the dining options were not up to par, lacking fresh bread choices. The friendly staff certainly made up for some of these drawbacks, and overall, it's a decent value for the price.
