    Tiny bathroom downstairs. Poor quality of bedlinnens.

    Ars en Ré is the most beautiful village on Ile de Ré, so the location of the hotel is excellent. Our house, l'Angleterre belonging to the Hotel Senegal was ok but very tiny.

    The room was noisy at times with the staircase outside the room and the apartment above. I guess because of the wooden floors and the noise in the morning from the kitchen.

    Friendly staff, beautiful quiet garden and location

    No comments here! Absolutely loved it.

    Absolutely loved this hotel. The hotel had a calm and friendly vibe. Staff were absolutely lovely and on hand to help at all times. Pool was never overcrowded. The room was beautiful and very clean - great to come back to after a long day of cycling! The hotel itself is right in the centre of Ars-en-Re so very close to bars and restaurants, the port, and local bakery. Bike hire just over the road as well.

    Nothing bad to say

    Very nice room, we got upgraded from what we originally booked. Our room had a nice terrace. You can have a coffee pr tea 24/7 free of charge by reception and the brrakfast is very nice, costing €18 per person. It involves a basked of bread, pain au chocolat, croissant and soft boiled egg. There's a buffet where you can have cereal, yoghurt and brioche. All very nice. Staff were very friendly and pleasant. Great location next to the church aswell, short cycle to the nearest beach.

    There was nothing not to like other than when we booked it did not clearly state the location of the villa. It did not matter for us but If you wanted to enjoy breakfast at the hotel or its facilities then the villa might not work. It’s ideal for for large families or groups.

    We stayed in the Villa which was a five minute walk from the hotel. It was beautifully designed with a modern twist. The pool was fabulous and the garden carefully designed around the old features and well looked after.

    A magical hotel in a beautiful little town.

    Our bathroom only had a hand-held shower attachment in the bath: a stand-up shower above the bath would have been more useful. Our second, more basic room didn’t have an air conditioning unit (not a problem for us as it was not a very hot week!) or a coffee machine.

    This is a kooky hotel! Beautiful courtyards with lots of sitting areas amongst the flowering plants. The rooms are all different, comfortable and very attractive. The staff are very helpful. It was lovely coming in summer, now I’d like to return in a cooler month to use the fireplace in the room! Plenty of wardrobe / shelving space. Nice little pool and decking area.

    That it was over €200 a night and whilst we didn’t require it (as the weather wasn’t great) had jt have been over 25 degrees I would have liked air conditioning. The room configuration was also slightly odd with a wardrobe only for super tall people located behind the bed.

    The hotel had a boutique style feel. The hairdryer was outstanding and the toiletries really handy.

    Bathroom a little basic in the standard room we were in (although others looked a lot better fitted out) - we had just a shower head over the bath.

    Beautiful old hotel in Ars-en-re. Tranquil. Good breakfast. Well located to explore Ile de Re. Staff very friendly and helpful.
