Le prix de la nuit est élevé pour la prestation, à laquelle il faut rajouter, si l'on veut, le petit déjeuner, au prix de 8 euros, que je n'ai donc pas pris. Le prix devrait comprendre le petit déjeuner. Ce serait plus correct...

Reasonable accommodation for someone that needs to be near this merchant port area. But it isn't particularly convenient to local transportation. Dated accommodations, with dark rooms, but descent shower. Numerous local restaurant choices. The Italian restaurant next to the hotel is reasonably priced, service is good and the food is pretty good.

L'hygiène n'est pas terrible, le ménage est vite fait (on trouve des restes des clients précédents ) beaucoup de poussière sous les lits etc. La salle de bains n'est pas en bon état (cloison de douche déboîtée et sale), la literie est franchement mauvaise. Il n'y a pas de volets à la fenêtre et la fenêtre de la salle de bain ne peut pas s'ouvrir à cause de son mauvais état. Les voisins de chambre ont été un peu bruyants et à 6h du matin la tenancière à talons s'est mise à trotter bruyamment sans arrêt donc impossible de se reposer avec tous ces éléments. De toute facon la lumière passe par la fenêtre. Dans le couloir où on était, ça puait, désolé mais il n'y a pas d'autre mot. Les restaurants aux abords valent vraiment la peine.

Hôtel vieillot dans un environnement portuaire peu attractif.
Mériterait une bonne rénovation pour le rendre plus agréable,d'autant que la concurrence est rude avec 2 Ibis récents à côté...
Le petit déjeuner est de qualité et à un prix raisonnable.

Hôtel proche de l'embarcadère pour Ouessant, 5 on a pied.
L'hôtel est propre et la chambre calme, literie bonne. Bien situé sur le port de commerce, proche des restos et bars, nous n'avons pas dîné à l'hôtel. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux, en self service.
Très bon rapport qualité-prix.

Très bon plats proposés aux repas. Personnels sympathiques.
Dommage que les chambres soient très peu insonorisées (On entend le téléviseur et les communications téléphoniques des chambres d'à coté)
Wifi moyen.
