Le Voltaire, Rennes

When I arrived the hotel appeared to be very much just average generally. Regretfully the room they had allocated to me was unavailable as the bathroom was out of commission with there apparently being a fault in the plumbing and the floor flooded. No other room available they booked me a room at the Campanile hotel. I was left to find my own way there but having stayed there many times before I was able to get there easily. Having stayed at the Campanile hotel many times I was hoping to find an interesting alternative. Sadly this was not to be. A disappointing experience.

This is a little gem we found when our usual stopover was not available. This is one of those places you dont really want to share for purely selfish reasons. This is a little old fashioned, absolutely french. A bit quirky and spotlessly clean. After the best nights sleep, the breakfast was the freshest and biggest croisants and pain au chocolat, and that was just the start, cold meats, cheese, coffee, freshly squeezed oranges, you put the oranges in the top and the juice came out of the bottom and that was just thr part of the offerring i managed. Easy safe walking along the riverbank to the city centre and its excellent restaurants.

Long way from city bit too quirky beer off breakfast not tempting trying to get a taxi back to hotel near impossible manager told us to get a bus into Rennes fine if you know where to get off not helpfull and came running out asking for payment when we left early after 1 night when we had already paid in full for 2 night stay

Love this quirky hotel! It's the second time we've stayed here on a trip to rennes. The staff are very friendly and welcoming and attend to every need. Although the room is small it is spotless and quite adequate for a short stay. The retro/vintage decor is good fun although maybe not to everybody's taste. Breakfast is good value with plenty of tasty options. Free parking and just a short walk into the centre of Rennes make it a great choice for a short break. We look forward to staying here again!

Value for money had to beat. But service is very strange, only one guy seemingly to do everything thing, check-in, bar etc. There in no where close to get a meal in the evening, we asked 'the guy' said a restaurant two blocks down, that was closed. So had to get car out to go to town centre. But parking is a nightmare on a Saturday night. Parked about 15 min walk from main hub. Lots of bars, but few restaurants, unless to don't worry about price When got back went to bar to get a night cap, well what drinks they had in stock is poor, no red wine ( in France!), vodka, gin, cognac or even lemonade. I had a whisky, wife had to make do with Martini with just ice. Bed is very firm. They offer a buffet breakfast, bread, cossiant, cheese, and jam, with coffee or fresh orange juice, for around 7€00, not very inspiring It's good as a cheap overnight stop, but not brilliant. Travelodge or Premier Inn is far better
