"Bonjour, J’y ai passé 5 nuits!! Wow! Les photos étaient très bien représentés. Pas de surprise! Auberge jeunesse très chaleureux. Les Gens de cette petite ville sont très gentils et courtois! Très coloré comme établissement. Très propre même dans les dortoirs de 8 personnes. Les voyageurs sont respectueux. donc il est bien pour dormir avec le décalage horaire et prendre le rythme du pays. A l’hôtel,Il y a resto-bar pour petit-dej, dej et dîner $, sur place avec boissons alcoolisées. Pas de cuisinette pour préparer des repas mais il y a frigo, micro-ondes pour le nécessaire . L’attraction « L’île des Machines » se trouve juste devant. Environ 2 a 10 min de marche pour Boulangerie,fromagerie, herboristerie,café, épicerie à proximité. Le centre-ville de Nantes ce trouve à 25 mins à pied même avec les travaux. Le bus Naolib pour le centre-ville de Nantes (Château des Ducs)et la gare SNCF aussi (où se trouve des navettes pour l’aéroport) est juste en face de l’hôtel. Un « must » pour Nantes ❤️Alors pour le reste allez à la découverte 😊✌️"
