Hotels Near Chapelle Saint-Yves in Rennes

We can only echo the comments in the last review. We also stayed in an apartment, on 1st floor, overlooking the outdoor seating of the bar below; noise continued until after 1 am. Also, the stairs are rickety to the point of being dangerous. And unless guests are really small / thin they will struggle to use the shower, that’s so unbelievably close to the toilet. Whilst we absolutely wouldn’t book one of their apartments again, we might stay in the main hotel when we visit Rennes again.

I expected so much more out of this big chain hospitality company. But, sadly, like many of these big companies, they try to cut as many corners as possible. Here are some pros and cons: Pros: The location is excellent. The hotel is sort of tucked away from the main street so it is very quiet. Also, it is not too far from public transit. Both bus and metro stops are very close and easily reachable by foot. The main lobby itself was relatively clean. Cons: The front desk staff was just okay - they were not rude by any means, but not overly friendly either. They were just...there. The only coffee they had in the room was horrible instant coffee. Then, they charge you 2.50 Euros for an espresso that uses a pod. I have stayed in many, many hotels in Europe (smaller boutique hotels with smaller budgets) that provided a machine with pods in my room. Those that have not provided a machine have never charged me for one espresso. I am sure had I made a habit of it, they would have charged. But seriously, 2.50 for one pod of espresso? Mercure can pony up. We are also convinced the cleaning staff did not properly clean our room. There was something on the ground that sat there for days in the bathroom. We saw it after the first day thinking it was strange it was still there. As a test, we left it there (it was a door sign) to see if it would ever be picked up, but it sat there for days. My BIGGEST issue with this hotel was the SMOKING AREA. They have tables and chairs right outside the front doors of the hotel where people can smoke. Every morning and evening their would be many people sitting out there puffing away. So, each time we would either leave the hotel in the morning and return in the evenings, we would have to walk through a cloud of smoke. The smoke would also enter the lobby and dining area where you could easily smell it. Nothing is more unappealing when you are trying to sit there, eat breakfast and you have to breathe in disgusting, foul cigarette smoke. Overall, I just expected more from a big company such as Mercure. Like I said earlier, I have stayed at smaller boutique hotels where they have smaller budgets. Despite this, they put a real emphasis on customer service and pay close attention to details.

We stayed in a first-floor room with a little terrace of our own. Was idyllic on that terrace except for when the air conditioning unit on the adjacent roof was humming and dumping hot air on us. Such a shame because everything else here was first class. The staff. The restaurant. The courtyard bar. The location near one of the best wine and food streets in Rennes. Absolutely would stay here again but might not bother with the terrace room next time.

Wonderful hotel. Great location, friendly and helpful staff. Quiet, well appointed rooms with tranquil garden space.

5 out of 5 The room and bathroom were spacious, there is ample storage space, two wardrobes and a safe (which is free to use) is in one wardrobe, there is even a hidden mini kitchen area. The room was clean and the bed was very comfortable. One of the main reasons for choosing this hotel was it has parking and for €10 it’s well worth it for peace of mind if you’ve got a car full of fishing gear, make sure you request parking when you book though. It’s in a great location, a nice bar called La Piste is at the end of the road but as you walk into the centre, which takes about 10 minutes, you pass many other cafes and bars. The staff were very friendly and helpful. We only stayed for one night but you could definitely stay for longer.

My wife and I stayed here for 5 nights at the end of April-early May 2024. I highly recommend this hotel. It has a great location -- about .4 miles from the train station and about an equal distance in the other direction to Old Town, Parc du Thabor, and other places you'll want to see. My wife enjoyed the buffet breakfast. The staff was very helpful. Our room was clean. Lots of restaurants nearby. Rennes is a beautiful university town with a great Saturday market; it was a highlight of our 17-day trip to Brittany and Normandy.

The hotel was very difficult to find. Our GPS kept sending us down a barricaded street. The hotel staff were aware of that and we were surprised that they did not send us a better set of coordinated. That being said, the hotel is perfectly located for train access as you can walk to the station in 2 minutes. I found it clean, well appointed and the bed was fine. However, the pillows were very thick and very hard, rendering them completely useless. I tried to get a different one from the receptionist (who was very accommodating) but that was all they had. Eventually I created my own pillow using towels and their pillow case. Otherwise, the hotel was great.

Hotel ia so near to station, easily walking from station to hotel and it's lots of restaurants and mart nearby. It's also clean and comfy inside the room. If i have chance, i and my family would back to stay again.

Stayed here at the first stop to Ryan. Because the train arrived very late, the hotel is facing the train station, it is really convenient! 🔔 Service: Because of the trip with the baby, the staff chose a room with a Star Wars pattern. The baby likes the spaceship very much 👍. 🧹 Hygiene: The bathroom is completely new and renovated, and there is a small bathtub, which is very good. 🍃 Environment: The only downside is that the room smells a bit of smoke and the window is scattered. Isn't it a smoke-free room? In addition, the air conditioning is a bit noisy. 🧹 Health: Very clean 👍

The hotel is strategically located just a stone’s throw away from Rennes train station. The welcome is professional and friendly, the standard room is very correct, there is nothing about cleanliness. There was only a leak under the sink, but the front desk moved us to another room. The breakfast is perfect and complete, with several products to choose from. I recommend.
