Apartments in Challans

"We booked weeks in advance and arrived after a four hour drive to be told that we couldn't use car park because we did not reserve parking. Hotels.com gave no options to reserve and the listing details say nothing about reservation. There was no on road parking available. The manager kept saying it is clearly marked and I showed him it wasn't. Eventually the young lady on reception worked something out to park at the side of the hotel. That night and before we left two parking spaces remained available in the parking. So frustrating and needless stress. The room was very basic and looked nothing like the photos. Breakfast buffet was very basic and poor value for money. No gluten free or lactose free options despite messaging twice in advance. If I didn't bring my own food I would have had nothing yet still paid for breakfast!!! The coastline is beautiful but the town was lacklustre. It was not even that cheap! Go elsewhere. Paid much less for much better, overpriced and underperforming hotel. We would have left were it not for the really friendly and helpful young lady on reception. "

"Very professional hospitality staff great bar and dining areas but costly for essentially a basic motel. "

"Super stay at Hotel Vent d'Eden, hotel very close to forests and the beach, it was perfect for what we were after. Would benefit from a small fridge in the room!"

"Lovely, relaxing atmosphere with great pool area and beautiful sea views. Friendly staff. Very good breakfast. Dinner menu a bit limited esp. for younger children and on the ‘fancy’ end of the spectrum (and some dishes were rather style over substance). Can eat out or get takeaway pizza in the next village. "

"It was our 3rd stay here and we really enjoyed it"

"Good. Major drawback was unexpected cost of parking ( 10 euros per day ). Hotels.com should have forewarned us ( ie next to the « self parking « tick on advert. Also no fridge. But room just about big enough’. Bed comfortable."

"Fantastic breakfast, Very friendly and helpful staff. Bedrooms very comfortable and well stocked "

"Excellent location, overlooking the river/port. Easy walk to the beach and into the town. Plenty of restaurants nearby."

"Staff and meal were fine. Really nice receptionist but room was minute. Absolutely no space. "
