Novotel Nantes Centre Bord de Loire 4 estrelas

I was pleasantly surprised by the hotel, it was better than expected in all aspects. It was in a perfect locations for our visit to Les Machines. Rooms were clean, spacious and comfortable. The lobby area was clean and modern, all the staff we interacted with were both helpful and friendly. The big surprise was the restaurant. When we arrived at lunchtime we were hungry and could not be bothered to go outside the hotel so resigned ourselves to an average or worse hotel lunch. It was well above average, so when the evening arrived it was an easy decision to stay in the hotel for dinner. Both meals were excellent and very good value for money. I would stay and eat in the hotel again if in Nantes.

We stayed in the room as a family in August 2022. The normal double room is rather small for 4 people, so better invest in bigger room if you stay as a family. We had a room on the top floor with a view over the Loire - precious! The breakfast is good and free for kids, though quite expensive for the adults. The staff speaks good English. Only few free private parking places are available outside so expect to have to pay 12 EUR for the garage. The location is very convenient to explore the city by foot. About 20 min walking along the Loire to Les Machines de l'île (if you want to ride an elephant in summer, book in advance).

Spacious bedroom with Very comfortable large bed. clean bathroom and good powerful shower. Also large breakfast area with wide choice of breakfast food. Hotel situated in centre of Nante at river and with good variety of areas for walking to see the sights

The stay was good in terms of conditions, welcome, staff (availability, reactivity, professionalism, etc.).... The room was comfortable and clean. The location of the hotel was suitable, for all my activities. The only problem was the Wifi connexion quality as it was not that very good.

I had booked this hotel for a trip prior to Covid happening, then when we realized COVID wasn't going to be gone over the summer, we tried to cancel and get a refund. They wouldn't refund me in the pandemic, so I had to move my booking out. After that, my emails were ignored and my re-booking passed. So. I got ripped off and cannot recommend this hotel in any capacity.
