Louis' treasure box

A simple but nice hotel with simple rooms, a decent breakfast, and a good location for trips all around the area (especially to the prehistoric monuments and towns like Aurai and Vannes. Much value is added by the owner, Louis, a man of immense knowledge of the area and lots of good advice about restaurants and sites. He makes all the difference.

Fine for the price

This is a fine -basic hotel. Nothing fancy, but nothing bad. My only complaint is that planned to arrive about 14:00 (the ususl check in time) but received a message saying the office would be closed that day until 17:00. We arrived a couple of minutes after the time and had to wait more than 15 minutes until the owner showed up. He was apologetic and I found him to be a helpful, likeable and talkative (in English) guy. The area was pretty and within about 15 minutes of the Carnac allignments.

Within walking distance of two beaches

This is a lovely, clean and comfortable little inn within walking distance (two to five minutes) of two beaches, one on the Atlantic side, with significant waves when we were there, and one on the Quiberon Bay that is much calmer. The owners are really friendly and happy to provide advice on things to see and do in the area.

Friendly staff, good restaurant, plenty of parking

Decent hotel with a god restaurant. Nothing fancy, but will get you a good nights sleep and a good meal. The hotel is on the major roadway that runs down the peninsula, but good windows keep the sound out. The beach is a block away, but if you are looking for a seaside resort atmosphere Quiberon is about a ten minute drive. Great location for beachcombing. Evening entertainment consisted of watching the sunset and local kite boarders.

Petite matelot

Stayed 5 nights during the summer 2011. The staff at petite matelot are the most friendly,nice and easygoing I`ve met ever at a hotel. Just a 100 meter walk to your own private beach made the stay complete. I´m allready planning to go back !

Great value

Stayed two nights while we searched for a gite. . Good, pleasant people behind the front desk...spoke English freely. They were very helpful with area tips. Nice little continental breakfast. Dining room klooked busy at night, but didn't partake. IN-room WiFi was okay. One trouble...a little hard to find on the main drag. we went right by it trying to find it. But, stopped and got directions. East two-block walk to beach. Easy drive to area sites and towns. Drawback? Maybe it's a little bit old, but the price is good for value.

Chambre propre et convenable mais hôtel qui mériterait une rénovation. Responsable accueillante. Le prix relativement élevé est certainement en lien avec la très bonne localisation (plage à 20 m, visites nombreuses à proximité). À noter, route très fréquentée devant l'hôtel.

Wir können nicht nachvollziehen, wie diese Unterkunft als "hervorragen" bewertet werden konnte. Die Betreiberin und die gesamte Unterkunft stinken nach Rauch. Das Familienzimmer sowie die Matratzen sind aus den 70er Jahren. Vor dem Haus liegt eine sehr stark befahrene Straße (24 Stunden am Stück). Ursprünglich hatten wir 3 Nächte gebucht, aber sind nach der ersten Nacht mit Kopfschmerzen abgereist. Es war einfach nur schrecklich. Nie wieder!
