L'Honoré "Great value apartment in the centre of Rennes
🙂 Officially, check-in is 4pm or later, and you must arrange an appointment with the agent to collect the keys and be let in. However, my agent added me on WhatsApp so that I could inform her on the day of arrival of my progress from the airport. She arranged an early check-in for me. I arrived at 1:30pm and found her waiting for me - I was checked in straight away!
Location is excellent, closer to the centre of the city than any of the hotels and for less cost.
The kitchen is extremely well stocked, with enough plates and cutlery to serve dinner for 10 or more. There is a Lidl just around the corner. Wi-Fi was excellent as you have a modem dedicated to your apartment. My work colleagues staying at regular hotels had problems with the Wi-Fi for Zoom calls.
The day before I was expecting to fly out, my flight was cancelled due to a country-wide air traffic controllers strike, and on that day due to the chaos I did not even have a rescheduled flight yet. I contacted Cocoonr urgently and they were able to extend my stay on a day-by-day basis, for a total of 2 extra days.
🙁 As this is not a serviced apartment you must dispose of garbage yourself. I was not familiar with the system in Rennes, as you must take your garbage to a public bin on the street. Recommend asking the agent where the closest ones are after you've checked in.
The bathroom is a little bit small, which can be seen from the photos. Toilet area does not have a toilet roll holder (preferably, one could be installed on the wall).
As this property is right in the centre of the city, late night can be noisy with drunk people yelling on the street. It's not so bad with the windows closed. The door to this set of apartments is very sturdy, so I never felt unsafe."
