    The noise from other guests could be all heard through the walls. No sound insulation. There was no fridge or coffee/tea facilities in the room

    The location, the style and decoration, the very good breakfast, the cleanness, the kindness of the staff, the coziness, the size of the room, the view, the lift

    Just the room it’s without AC, that wasn’t a problem, but take in consideration if you are traveling in a hot climate.

    No air con or fans so very hot. We were in a back room so had to have windows open for air but got the noise of the kitchen fans and despite being on fifth floor the noise of the music from cellar was constant until it finished.

    Great location. Wonderfully renovated Art Deco hotel. Lovely staff. Room size ok and comfy bed. Clean and recently decorated.

    Soundproofing in the rooms wasn't great, but wasn't terrible either. That's only a minor issue though, everything else was excellent.

    Perfect location, excellent value for money, very friendly staff who speak English, very clean, very comfortable beds, good food in the restaurant also!

    The only thing I didn't like was the noisy cleaners. One of the ladies was very loud on the phone and very abrupt with her cars so it was banging on the walls and doors. The walls are thin alredy, so that didn't help.

    It's a simple hotel with old-fashioned decor, but it has everything you'd expect from a 3 star. The room was spacious and clean and quite comfortable.

    Historical Hotel of Brest, Great Location - Loved it

    We stayed while the whole downtown area is undergoing road works. A tramway line is being installed, so walking around the hotel was not extremely pleasant. However, there was no sound coming from the construction site to our room.

    It's a nice place, extremely well located . The hotel has a quaint style that we loved, but it comes with its drawbacks. The rooms for one person are a bit small, but one we had for a couple was better. Also, don't expect the card key, it's still the good old iron key here, and that's cool !

    It is a little dated in the facilities but in effect it's got a real retro charm and they are playing on that. Breakfast was ok not amazing and service to get more items not great.

    The location is excellent, the room itself was generously sized and clean. It was quiet but the whole hotel was quiet. There was a live music event that night but I think the staff were careful to allocate us a room as far away as possible so it was no problem. This is what you'd think of for a French hotel circa 1965 - cage lift, bell on reception, real key, bistro atmosphere and red velvet.

    Reception upon arrival not particularly friendly. Plus I had specified a room with sea and city view. The room they put us in had neither. They finally moved us to a room with those criteria, but not graciously.

    Excellent location, bed a bit soft. Decor clean but outdated
