"The hotel looks brand new and was very clean. The breakfast area and the reception/bar were very stylish and nice to be in. All the staff were really friendly and helpful. The aircon was great, especially for a hot August trip and although there was not hot options for breakfast, it was pleasant enough. Great location as it was only a short walk from the airport shuttle bus stop and directly opposite the station which was great for our day trip to Clisson. Highly recommended"

"Nice hotel. Not being able to freely use your keycards to come into the hotel if you got home late was a little weird as the staff had to let you in. Also, I get being eco friendly but not being able to lower the Air Con to anything lower than 24 degrees for your room is annoying especially during major heatwaves. Lastly the club has interesting smell of mold? Might need a carpet change a deep cleaning. But overall the hotel was nice."

Every member of staff was super welcoming. The family room was comfortable, dark and the quiet. Everyone slept well here. If we came to Nantes again, no question about it, we’d stay at the Billie Hotel."
