Hotel with charm and character and view over river. (Frogs chorus at night, natural of course, might need blocks for the ears if keeping window open to ease heat). Relaxed, pleasant hotel crew. €13+ each added for breakfast seemed a bit much?!

J’ai été très agréablement reçu par le personnel qui a été très professionnel et très arrangeant. En effet, la personne de l’accueil est une ancienne qui a travaillé chez Hotels.com et j’ai dû écourter mon séjour pour maladie. Elle a réussi à m’arranger afin de relouer directement derrière et que je puisse rentrer chez moi sans avoir à payer de frais.

Nous n’avons passé qu’une seule nuit mais l’accueil a été très sympathique, nous avons même eu droit à être surclassé ! L’hôtel et charmant, calme, très confortable, propre… je recommande sans hésiter !

La salle de bain ressemble à une salle de bain d’hôpital. Les chambres sont mal isolés. Pas terrible l’aspirateur à 7h30 dans la chambre d’à côté et le bruit de la tv. Une odeur d’hôpital dans toute la chambre…
Salle de bain !

Cet Hôtel est un lieu très sympathique avec un environnement très agréable. Situé au cœur de Cesson sévigné, au dessus d'un cour d'eau, en fait un cadre ou on se sent bien. Les chambres sont confortables. Accueil très professionnel.

Arrivée tardive mais mot d'accueil laissé avec les clés. Suite au 2e etage très bien. Pas de climatisation mais belles prestations d'ensemble. Pas de parking privatif. Superbe localisation. On a l'impression que l'hôtel est encerclé par la Vilaine.

내부 시설은 그런대로 좋으나 동네 운하에 면하고 있어 모기등 유입 가능성도 있고 그 때문인지 실내 복도에 차단문이 2, 3개 있어 통풍이 문제인듯 공기가 탁했습니다~
