Mama Shelter Rennes
Excellent stay, we booked the XL room and it was very big. Bar and restaurant plus dining option around are perfect. Only comment would be to improve the darkness in the room as the curtains are very shorts and lots of light is passing through

Le Nemours Rennes
Great beautiful place, as we stayed at the apartment there wasn’t any lift and stairs were narrow. Other than that all is good and comfortable.

Balthazar Hotel & Spa Rennes - MGallery Collection
Nice hotel overall. The only downside is the rooms are dated and although we booked a city view the windows were over 2.2 metres high, so we could only see clouds unfortunately.

Good position in the old town. Bathroom and shower very small. Nearby car park expensive. But good location for a short stay.
