ibis budget Nantes Rezé Aéroport — Hotel in Nantes

A no-fuss, practical budget hotel with comfortable and clean rooms that are sufficient if you mostly plan to use them for rest at night. Mind you, the rooms have an open rod with 4-5 hangers to put your clothes, without any cupboards or drawers. The "toiletries" include one bottle containing hand-cum-shower-hair soap, that's it. Like most lower-end European hotels, there is no kettle or tea/coffee provision.

The breakfast however, is quite nice, even elaborate, for a budget hotel. Its from 5 am to 10 pm, so that is a HUGE plus. The wifi is fast, but periodically the connection was spotty in my corner room.

Of course, their prices (despite being budget) are demand-linked, and I stayed at a time when the rest of Nantes was heavily pre-booked, so I paid probably 40% more than what their prices are at dates before and after the busy high-demand period. Also, you have to pay 100% in advance, with no possibility of a refund, so obviously pray hard that no last minutes glitches come up in your trip.

The front desk staff is helpful, and while many of them don't speak anything other than French, they will usually get someone or point you to someone who speaks English passably. I needed some help getting to the city centre by public transport, and a gentleman kindly told me the routes. I wish he had told me also about the Naolib app that make it very easy to use buses+trams...

We stayed here for an overnight stop before flying home the next morning.||The rooms were clean, bright and basic (everything you would need for a night or two). There is a small TV, free wifi and a really cool shower with a light up shower head. The shower is in the room, rather than behind a door in the double that we had, but if you aren't a couple (or you like your privacy) there is a shower curtain you can pull to shut the bathroom area off from the bedroom.||||The staff were very pleasant and helpful and were happy to call us a taxi to the airport the next morning. ||||The only down side to this hotel is that it wasn't as close to the airport as I first thought (roughly a 20euro taxi) and is about the same from the town center from the train station... but the parking outside is good for those who have a car. ||There was breakfast on offer in the morning... your standard mix of continental fruits, cereals and pastries, however, we opted just...
