Hotel de la Cité

Hotel de la Cité

10/10 Excellent
"Room was very clean and modern. Has everything you’d really need, although a small refrigerator would be helpful, you can do without. It’s comfortable, and although the rooms are a little on the small side, it’s got all you really need. Everything is walkable or easily accessed by bike, and the public transit is extremely easy to navigate. Very close to train station."

Très coloré comme établissement. Très propre même dans les dortoirs de 8 personnes. Les voyageurs sont respectueux. donc il est bien pour dormir avec le décalage horaire et prendre le rythme du pays. A l’hôtel,Il y a resto-bar pour petit-dej, dej et dîner $, sur place avec boissons alcoolisées. Pas de cuisinette pour préparer des repas mais il y a frigo, micro-ondes pour le nécessaire . L’attraction « L’île des Machines » se trouve juste devant. Environ 2 a 10 min de marche pour Boulangerie,fromagerie, herboristerie,café, épicerie à proximité. Le centre-ville de Nantes ce trouve à 25 mins à pied même avec les travaux. Le bus Naolib pour le centre-ville de Nantes (Château des Ducs)et la gare SNCF aussi (où se trouve des navettes pour l’aéroport) est juste en face de l’hôtel.
