Hotel berhampiran Camping Gayeulles - Rennes, Rennes

We stayed here for three nights after arriving in Paris, travelling directly from Charles de Gaulle airport by train (TGV). Getting to the hotel was straightforward. From the train station, cross Place de la Gare and then walk straight along Avenue Jean Janvier. The hotel is easily spotted once the junction with Rue Jean Marie Duhamel is reached (avoid Google maps and Apple maps; they gave less direct routes and different to each other). The hotel room was on the small side (for which we were prepared) but it was not an issue; the room was clean and the bed comfortable. Breakfast was also good. There is a nice courtyard which guests may use as well. The staff were helpful and friendly, with particular thanks to one receptionist who was on duty for most of our stay. The location of the hotel was convenient for both the station and the city centre. We had a couple of good meals at L’Épe de Blé, across from Place de la Gare. If we to visit Rennes again, we would certainly use this hotel.

I expected so much more out of this big chain hospitality company. But, sadly, like many of these big companies, they try to cut as many corners as possible. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: The location is excellent. The hotel is sort of tucked away from the main street so it is very quiet. Also, it is not too far from public transit. Both bus and metro stops are very close and easily reachable by foot. The main lobby itself was relatively clean. Cons: The front desk staff was just okay - they were not rude by any means, but not overly friendly either. They were just...there. The only coffee they had in the room was horrible instant coffee. Then, they charge you 2.50 Euros for an espresso that uses a pod. I have stayed in many, many hotels in Europe (smaller boutique hotels with smaller budgets) that provided a machine with pods in my room. Those that have not provided a machine have never charged me for one espresso. I am sure had I made a habit of it, they would have charged. But seriously, 2.50 for one pod of espresso? Mercure can pony up. We are also convinced the cleaning staff did not properly clean our room. There was something on the ground that sat there for days in the bathroom. We saw it after the first day thinking it was strange it was still there. As a test, we left it there (it was a door sign) to see if it would ever be picked up, but it sat there for days. My BIGGEST issue with this hotel was the SMOKING AREA. They have tables and chairs right outside the front doors of the hotel where people can smoke. Every morning and evening their would be many people sitting out there puffing away. So, each time we would either leave the hotel in the morning and return in the evenings, we would have to walk through a cloud of smoke. The smoke would also enter the lobby and dining area where you could easily smell it. Nothing is more unappealing when you are trying to sit there, eat breakfast and you have to breathe in disgusting, foul cigarette smoke. Overall, I just expected more from a big company such as Mercure. Like I said earlier, I have stayed at smaller boutique hotels where they have smaller budgets. Despite this, they put a real emphasis on customer service and pay close attention to details.

酒店距離火車站幾百米，步行可達。酒店前台服務生都非常熱心解決客人的需求或者疑問，感覺舒心。酒店提供的早餐，雖然品種不多，但品質不錯，可以達到85分。酒店房間面積不大，所謂設計師酒店，其實是把空間用到極致而已。

L’emplacement est magnifique mais l’hôtel est presque laissé à l’abondance ! Le spa ne marche pas. L’odeur de la moquette dans les chambres. Une toute petite télé et voilà.

Hotel sympa , il est à coté de la gare, la chambre était bien, les lits confortables. Le personnel très aimable et souriant.Le petit déjeuner est très bien, il y avait beaucoup de choix et c'était plutôt bon, avec même du jus d'orange frais! Hotel avec un excellent rapport qualité-prix.

We’ve had a very pleasant accommodation in the hotel. The hotel is located 2 minutes walk from the railway station and 10 minutes by foot from the city center. Everything was really good - the room was colorful and clean, the bed was quite big (I may assume that width of the bed is 200 cm), the staff was so nice and helpful, and the breakfast was tasty and had a lot of options. Coffee is free of charge during the whole day as well as croissants. Definitely recommended to stay in Rennes.

En voyage d'affaires, par hasard le 14 février, toute l'équipe a mis les bouchées doubles pour satisfaire tous les amoureux (ou pas) avec un delicieux chocolat en coeur à l'arrivée. Equipe très attentive, dynamique, souriante, au petits soins de ses clients, habitués ou pas mais on sentait un coté très chaleureux des Bretons !!! Et ils savent mettre l'accent sur cette force bretonne : les célébrités bretonnes tapissent les murs, T-Shirts avec citations clins d'oeil bretons (je vous laisse découvrir), far breton et crepes au ptit dej, photo panoramiques dans les chambres de paysages bretons. Restaurant délicieux.J'ai adoré ! Super aussi la réception sur la table, ca fait très, j'arrive à la maison et non pas à l'hotel. Franchement chapeau à toute l'équipe et bravo pour toutes vos idées. J'avais passé la semaine dans d'autres Novotel et n'ai rien ressenti de tout cela :) UN GRAND MERCI et bravo. Kenavo. A une prochaine j'espère.
