Fabulous strong recommend (and this is the second attempt at submitting a review, hence the delay!)
Pros:

A super special conversion, welcoming staff and lovely (and surprising) to have decent concierge/room service. Good fresh breakfast, and the first hotel we've ever enjoyed the room service menu choices, generous, and well priced. The overall vibe is that the staff really care about the hotel and their guests and are happy to be there. Plus lovely location, everything within walking distance, starting and ending your day meandering through the beautiful botanic garden on the doorstep. If you are visiting Nantes out of summer season you will also appreciate the effective and responsive bedroom heating!

Cons:

Appreciate you cant have everything but the 'cool' bar is really a part of the reception area, it would be lovely for there to be a cosier snug area, expecially in the colder weather. But the conversion has been thoughtfully done and I imagine that was the compromise.

No character to room was expecting to feel like being in an old church but, all character removed and a very modern clinical room!

Cons:

Location and the breakfast were outstanding.

Perfect stay at a charming boutique hotel with exceptional staff
Pros:

This boutique hotel offers a fantastic location near the city center and transport, providing a peaceful retreat right next to a park. The unique atmosphere blends modern design with the historic charm of a former chapel, creating a calm and inspiring environment. Exceptionally helpful and friendly staff at the reception made my stay memorable, and I will certainly return.

Cons:

A top mattress would be appreciated for comfort.
