Le Saint-Antoine Hotel & Spa, BW Premier Collection

We were pleased with our choice for our 3 night stay. Lots of positives, with a few annoying things. Our room on 5th floor was facing the road but quiet, with good air con. Clean, with great bed and reasonable space, safe and minibar (used for our milk). It is close to the main lively centre on the other side of the river, and the visitor attractions (more than we realised), but there are good restaurants and bars near (including on a small timber house street Rue Vasselot). It is near the train station. metro stops, and the long distance bus station, where we got the coach to Mont Saint Michel. But it doesn't have the grottiness you sometimes get near stations (indeed Rennes itself is pretty smart except in one or two spots). Staff were very friendly and helpful. We used the spa on the first (wet) day (Friday am and had it to ourselves, but on the Sunday when we wanted to book it was full (we left it a bit late to inquire). Downsides were that the the bathroom is very badly designed (as one other reviewer has expanded at length - shower door opening out and water needing to be soaked up by towels on the floor, basin a silly modern design that doesn't allow water to sit in it, and toilet in a separate room without basin). And bits were slightly broken in the shower, with a few lights not working. The Netspresso machine was good as a kettle substitute but we failed to get it to make coffee (we are not experts and there were no instructions - could well have been broken). Wifi worked OK but kept requiring logging in again so we gave up in the end. less

Brilliant few days in Rennes, the hotel is modern, spotless and in a great location. Breakfast was varied and plentiful. Pool is a great addition, as is the SPA. Sat up too late in the very pleasant garden, drinking some great reds. Would thoroughly recommend a stay here. less

We stayed at this hotel on our way to Cherbourg on the last night of a lovely French holiday experience. Extremely comfortable, friendly staff , easy walk to restaurants & cafes & best of all, PARKING for a very full car! less

I enjoyed my stay at this hotel. Nice, modern and very clean. The room was not overly big but was more than sufficient. Very friendly staff that can speak and understand English, quite important for business guests from abroad. Small but nice breakfast. And very centralized location. less

This hotel is nicely presented, the common areas are clean and bright and the rooms are excellent too. The location is excellent, just five minutes walk from the centre of the city and about the same to the train station. Stayed two nights in a deluxe room, which was very spacious and had a nice window area with Juliet balcony which was nice to sit and relax looking over the rooftops as we were on the 7th floor. We were supposed to stay just one night but liked the hotel so much we extended one more night, which was very easy to do at reception. There is a small indoor pool with jacuzzi and steam room. This area is very well kept and restricted to eight guests at a time so not too busy. You can purchase swimming outfits from reception. You need to book your entry at reception also. We didn't have breakfast or buy any drinks at the lobby bar. The reception staff were very friendly though and there was always some on hand to help. Highly recommended. less
