    We were blessed with the weather so the room was a bit warm at times. Keeping the windows open helped during the day but not always during the night (blackout curtains blocked the air too).

    Newly renovated, stylish and very modern hotel managed by Jean who helped us to make our stay unforgettable. Good size of the rooms, very good beds. Stylish breakfast area and amazing bar which turns into place to be in the evening. Great location just minutes walk from the beach and port. We will be back.

    This is the second time we have stayed at the hotel. It is exceptionally friendly, warm and comfortable place. Jean Etienne cannot do enough to make the stay as good as possible. It really is a 10/10 experience. The room and bathroom are spacious and well equipped, the breakfast is plentiful and varied. A wonderful hidden gem.

    Only that it didn’t have a lift, I just presumed it would have one. The lady on reception changed our room straight away from the second to the first floor and offered to have the bags taken to the room.

    We liked the bedroom and the powerful shower. The staff were so nice. The bar was fun and barmen were very helpful. It was good that we did not hear other guests at night.

    Honestly can't remember of anything I would have liked to be different.

    Amazing and unique atmosphere. Exceptional vibes that is in perfect harmony with its location. A few steps away from the beach (literally 2mins), very cosy, each room is uniquely set up, very clean, it is the perfect fit for a great Brittany experience. The lounge/lobby offers great times and makes rainy days feel as great as sunny days. Beds are amazing. Very quiet location, a few minutes walk away from everything. Jean-Etienne is an amazing host, always available and made us feel at home right from the start. Breakfast is pretty great and offers gluten free options!

    Not really a criticism but worth knowing that on Sundays the bar serves only drinks no snacks or meals and that on Monday and Tuesday the bar is closed. As we stayed on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, therefore, we didn't experience the bar atmosphere or get to order any of the bar meals. As ever with many hotels in France there is no kettle in the room so you can't make your morning cup of tea! We forgot to bring our portable kettle.

    A very comfortable hotel in a perfect location for the little port of Bénodet. The host is very friendly and we appreciated the welcome drink. Our room was lovely, large, airy very clean and with a wonderful comfortable big bed. We liked the decor in the bedroom, dining room and the bar area - modern industrial/retro chic. We liked the breakfasts. Nearby parking was easy and free. We would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

    There really was nothing!

    Everything! The location of the hotel is perfect, right in the town centre so a very short walk (100 mts) to the Quayside area and beaches. the hotel was immaculately clean and fresh and the hosts were very friendly helpful and attentive. We had chosen the room with a terrace. The room was on the first floor with a rooftop terrace looking out across the village square. A lovely place to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening to watch the sun go down, it’s also very handy to hang your wet towels and swimsuits after a visit to the beach. The hotel decor was modern and fresh and breakfast was an amazing selection of breads, preserves, yoghurts and meats and cheeses. We will definitely return!

    The owner Jean-Etienne was despicable. The hotel stating that animals are allowed, we brought our cat. We had given instructions not to leave the windows wide open, so that the cat could not jump out. The owner decided without our knowledge to enter the room and open the windows wide all day, because he thought the cat smelled too strong. When confronted, the owner was awful, mocking our concern for our animal, and threatening not to keep us for the night (at 7pm) and charge us extra cost. Regarding the breakfast, it was underwhelming for a price of 12 euros. It was not a proper buffet because some of the food is rationed per person (ham, cheese, cottage cheese). The drinks and food that are available freely do not have a great variety (two non-fresh bottled juices, hot water and coffee, some bread and some cereals, a basket with a few fruits, and some nuts…). I have seen better for the price. I would have liked to see pastries, yogurts, and some eggs in any form.

    The beds were confortable. The location was good.
