Novotel Centre Nantes Bord de Loire

Convenient, Calm and tranquil, wonderful view and sparkling clean. Staff are friendly and welcoming. Definitely my 1st choice in Nantes!

Was not too happy with my stay. The Wi-Fi is absolutely terrible as a lot of people have stated here already. It is not even slow, but you’re permanently disconnected and cannot reconnect without “forgetting” the network and trying x times to reconnect via the hotel’s landing page again. Awful if you want to work from the hotel or want to relax with some Netflix/YouTube/… in the evening. My room was quite small and especially the bathroom is absolutely run-down: There is no walk-in shower, just a bathtub with a shower head and very little space. The armatures are rusty and old, the shower head was sliding down the bar because the attachment was broken, the glass pane is milky, water did not run off properly… Breakfast was okay, nothing special. The food was fresh and generally tasty but the selection is quite limited. Good juices. The scrambled eggs which are a cornerstone of my breakfast are unfortunately quite bad. Service staff was very nice to me and helped me on a personal matter. Hotel is very well located - there are plenty of restaurants, supermarkets, stations nearby and the city center is also not far. All in all, 2-3*, rounding up here because of the nice staff but I have definitely been in better 4* hotels already.

Can't say I would willingly stay here again! Yes, it is clean and that's important, but hardly anything else that is impressive! Nice reception area with friendly helpful staff. Breakfast was nice, with a fair choice. The rooms were basic, with no comfort really. My first room stunk of smoke, coming through the air vents, and a bed that squeezed with every movement, and actually went up hill ! So had I slept in it (I changed rooms)would have had a headache in the morning! Certainly not a 4* that I am used to. Rooms need updating! One unnerving thing I did notice, was that there was not a smoke alarm in the two rooms I had! Which I can only presume is the same throughout the hotel ?! 😱
