Nice hotel overall. The only downside is the rooms are dated and although we booked a city view the windows were over 2.2 metres high, so we could only see clouds unfortunately.

This is a very nice boutique hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a deluxe room looking onto the courtyard, which was very quiet. The room was very stylish with a great bathroom. The only flaw was that the shower door leaked due to the fact that it was designed with no seal on the door. There is a very nice spa which is well equipped. We both enjoyed very effective foot massages to relieve the pressures of too much sightseeing.

Great hotel in Rennes. Clean, well-appointed, and modern rooms. Very central location near restaurants and shops, and Rennes is a very walkable city. Staff were professional and knowledgeable. Restaurant offered good breakfast spread, but didn’t have chance to have lunch or dinner there. Tiny gym, which was too small to be practical. Spa was nice additional, although it tended to get crowded at times. Overall, I think this is the top hotel in Rennes.

PATRICK

Liked: Cleanliness, staff & service, property conditions & facilities, room comfort
Hotel was great and staff were good but they charged 100 euros per person for the two nights as a deposit (ie 400 euros PLUS the cost of the room as a deposit) nearly £700 as a charge before we paid when we left. They would not accept Amex to pay the deposit (even though we had paid using Amex via Hotels.com) and when we left we paid for the room on Amex and were told it takes 3 effin days for the bank to re credit the drposit money to our account!!! Luckily we had the money on deposit but would have been embarrassing if we hadn’t

Nice property near the old city. Our room had a little balcony with roof top views. Modern, spacious and my wife loved the spa. Staff was warm and welcoming. Waze keep me going in circles so they talked me to a place where I could park and the valet came to get us. Room was spacious and great price makes this a terrific value. You won’t regret booking here. Just use the street name when inputting your navigation app. They replenished the mini bar daily. The toilet is in a separate area but does not have a sink.

Jewel!!!

This hotel was an unexpected jewel. By far the best hotel in Rennes! The service is outstanding. Alexandre and Marike made us feel very taken care of. The amenities are above and beyond what we expected. From coffee to bottles of water and madeleines every night in the room. The rooms are clean, modern and spacious. The bar and appetizers are super. Try the hibiscus Gin and tonic. You will thank me for the advice! The spa is welcoming, quiet and a great place to finish the day. We liked this hotel so much that we cancelled a reservation in Saint Malo to go back and spend one more night at Balthazar!
