Nemea Appart Hotel Grand Cœur Nancy Centre
Well set up for a family break, the kitchen facilities worked well for us as a family. The best part of the hotel, is the heated indoor pool. Parking also is convenient, although, you have to pay first before being able to enter the parking.

Location was perfect! Right by the station & very close to the St Nicholas festivities which coincided with when I was there. Hotel staff were very helpful & reception was festive too.
