4 stars Hotels in Brest

Very friendly staff, who speak good English. The staff made my first stay in France better than expected.

Great modern hotel in an older settting - right on the water. We had a beautiful suite, modern furnishings, king size bed, huge windows - and got to watch the tide come in and go out. Lovely courtyard - great breakfast - friendly service. No restaurant now (I think they are looking to replace chef that retired) - recommend eating at the Ti Sauzon 5 min walk from hotel for crepes - if for seafood we got recommendation for Ecume du jour (but it was Monday night and closed - typical of France). Nifty village to visit even in off-season (Fall).

Having listened to colleagues' reviews about Brest and their accommodation during a previous visit, I was a bit dubious about my impending stay. However, I needn't have worried. Upon arrival I was pleasantly surprised by this 3star accommodation. I was expecting old furniture, tired rooms, man-made fibre sheets etc. How wrong was I. The reception area was large and clean with helpful staff; the bar area was welcoming and comfy (although service a little slow) and the bedroom was much better than I was expecting. The wood flooring was light and clean and the bed was large and very comfortable with crisp white cotton sheets although the pillows were a little 'high.' The bathroom was very modern and clean with a wet room type feel and granite tops - there was no bath, which was not a problem for me. The maid came every day but at different times so one of the days of my stay the room was not serviced as I was in residence. Continental breakfast in the restaurant was plentiful. I'm not a fan of continental breakfasts so didnt eat much but still thought the price a little steep regardless. The hotel was perfectly placed for me as I was working at Le Quartz conference centre which was a 5 min walk away. Overall a very pleasant stay and should I ever have to travel to Brest again, I would definitely stay here.

We stayed for two nights at Le Brittany, Roscoff on 30 September and 15 October. It's in a lovely seafront location within walking distance of the town centre and very convenient for the ferry port. Our room on the first night was disappointingly cramped and overpriced and had almost no view whatsoever; that on the second was still rather small but considerably better, although the bathroom make-up mirror was unusable and needs to be replaced. The windows in the bar were desperately in need of a thorough clean! Reception service was sometimes rather cold and distant; bar service had to be asked for! Restaurant service was for the most part much better; the food, though pricy, was excellent, especially on the second occasion. The wine list is splendid and priced broadly in line with expectations of a Michelin-starred Relais & Chateaux establishment. The Yachtman restaurant has a delightful view and ambience, although the waiter who received our compliment to this effect seemed rather supercilious about it and betrayed a not dissimilarly disinterested attitude when receiving our compliments about the food. A few improvements in the detail are therefore needed in order to bring this otherwise splendid hotel up to scratch. Roscoff is a delightful town with many restaurants, although we certainly doubt that one could eat as well in any of them as one can at Le Brittany. We'll certainly return - and hopefully to report that those improvements have been made!

Good quality hotel with contemporary decor and modern facilities. Excellent restaurant for breakfast and dinner. Convenient for the centre of Brest, just a short walk from the train station.

1. Gave me a key to someone else room. Fortunately, they were not in the room when I walked in. Could have been a very bad situation. 2. The key they gave me to the next room did not work. 3. They neglected to tell me that you had to insert the key into a place on the wall to get electric to the room. Took me three trips back down to the lobby to finally get settled into the room. 4. Shower wand did not work. The staff spoke English, which was a big help, but it was very frustrating getting into the room.
