Pros:

De medewerkers waren geweldig! Locatie is top als je dicht bij het centrum wilt zitten en ook makkelijk te bereiken met de bus vanaf het vliegveld.

Cons:

De douche was een beetje onlogisch ingericht, waardoor de rest van de badkamer nogal nat werd tijdens het douchen.

Pros:

This hotel is right in the heart of the city of Nantes. One can reach attractions and cafes and restaurants on foot and is also within easy reach of airport shuttle bus, trams and buses to other parts of the city for other attractions which are not in the centre. The room was comfortable, modern and functional. Breakfast excellent and staff friendly.

Cons:

I can't think of anything.
