We booked this charming "church hotel," as we began to call it, and were just delighted with the facility, the location and the management. We asked for a room with a stained glass window and were delighted to wake up to the sunlight glowing through the colorful panes; we also had a window that could open and heard many bird calls around us. While a city hotel, it felt like we were in nature, with the large tree behind us, and the beautiful park across from us. Clean and neat and the best lotion in a hotel I've ever had, this was the perfect way to kick off our trip to France. On a side note, we loved Nantes, and hope to come back again!

Rare find in a memorable place

Nice little hotel in a unique environment. Staff is friendly and very helpful. We could hear guests next door and in the hallway, so isolation could give some minor uncomfort. Very recommended in general.

A very pleasant surprise

The owners have done a fabulous job in converting this former church property into a hotel. The desk staff were exceptionally helpful at check in giving us great advice on things to see and do in the limited time we had. Their dinner recommendations were great.
