The hotel is well situated for central Nantes, a short distance from Tram line 1 which runs to the train station. There are lots of good bars and restaurants in the surrounding Graslin quarter. However, this does mean the streets are noisy at night! Before arriving, we were offered the chance to 'upgrade' our room to an air-conditioned one, for an extra 10€ per night. As we live in France and are used to the climate, not using our a/c at home unless the temp is 35°+, we declined on environmental grounds. Unfortunately this meant that our 2nd floor room suffered from street noise if we opened the window or became very airless if we didn't. We had very little sleep during our 4 night stay. The hotel also lacked attention to small details - no muesli at breakfast after Day 1, no replenishment of welcome tray, tissues or spare toilet roll. However, chilled water was freely available. Staff were pleasant but overall we would choose another hotel next time we are in Nantes.
