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

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.
