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

Hôtel Lanjuinais
Location is great. It’s a short walk to basically everything: food, bars, shopping…. Room is ok but needs renovation, especially the bathroom. In my room two lights were not working right (periods of flickering ), and the 2 power outlets are not easily accessible, you need crawl on the ground.

Très belle expérience. J'aime le côté convivial de l'hôtel. La localisation était parfaite pour moi, proche métro A et dans une zone vivante avec de nombreux commerces de bouche.

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.
