Appart’hôtel Odalys City - Nantes Cité des congrès
Very good hotel for the very good price. Lovely high ceilings and windows and all the things you need, and a comfortable bed. However no aircon which was unfortunate on the days we went, although there was a small fan. Good location, very easy to walk everywhere.

Comfort Aparthotel Nantes La Beaujoire
Perfect for one night to break up our journey back to the ferry. We needed somewhere with secure off road parking as we had bikes on the back of our van. This was ideal as it had a gate that was locked at night and you could park right near your apartment. Beds were very comfortable and nice spacious ...
