ibis budget Nantes Nord Saint-Herblain — Hotel in Nantes

It is far away from everything but It's just a short walk from a tram line (1.50 Euro for a 1 hour ticket) but these end at about 1am and a taxi from the city is about 30 euro. Very very basic hotel.

We had overnight stops here on both our outward and return journeys. The hotel is conveniently close to the peripherique (ring road) and simple to find as a result. Fortunately, though, it was far enough away not to suffer from traffic noise. Handily, the hotel is also a short walk from line 3 of the tramway into Nantes centre. There's a reasonable selection of eating establishments nearby at various price points.||||Our room was typical of Ibis budget hotels - functional yet clean and with properly functioning air con. The only very minor niggle was the absence of shower gel in the shower - most of the Ibis hotels I've stayed in over the past few years have included this. Another cost-cutting ruse perhaps?||||The staff were extremely friendly and helpful, slipping into english when my french ran out, and giving us guidance as to how to use the...
