minutes from the city centre as well as close to the airport and the railway station. The property is the ideal starting point to discover the wonderful Finistère province, set between forest and ocean, where guests can visit an array of natural and cultural venues. The hotel offers comfortable and well-equipped rooms to make your stay as pleasant as possible.
This hotel is 5 minutes drive from the airport, there is no bus there & we were charged 17 Euros by taxi (standard rate). There is nothing close by to the hotel apart from a few other hotels although the bus stop for the town is just over the road, to walk will take you 55 minutes to the town centre/Brest castle/Harbour. The hotel has 60 rooms which are very small, we had a double just a bed,wardrobe (4 hangers!) ,small desk,en-suite toilet & shower,we had to sit on the bed as we could not get past each other in the room!! It was very clean & tidy & the staff were very friendly. Only 2 of them could speak 'some' English which did cause some problems as we only have a few French words between us....Rooms have heaters & Sat' T.V (all in French.......) The reception was not open 24 hours as advertised (it shut at 11pm every night) & on our last day it actually shut at 12 noon !! & was not re-opening until 5pm, meaning we could not leave our cases there for a few hours as we would have liked.) (The main door to the hotel is locked, you are given a card to get in with) (It shut because it was a holiday May 8th ........?? ) The breakfast was a cold buffet, quite a good selection, French bread/Crossant/Cereal/Drinks which was all very nice. There is no restaurant but you can order drinks throughout the day. If we returned to Brest again without a car we would look for a hotel in the town, near the attractions.
