ibis Styles Rennes Centre Gare Nord
ibis Styles Rennes Centre Gare Nord"The hotel is clean and tidy and very near Rennes train station. Room was very small and so was bathroom. Air con worked well and bed comfy. Thought had tea and coffee in room but didn't. There was a kettle by reception and you made your own there and took it to your room. Breakfast was decent. Nice buffet selection of pastries, cheese, cooked meats etc. Not the best in Rennes but decent."
