Reasonable accommodation for someone that needs to be near this merchant port area. But it isn't particularly convenient to local transportation. Dated accommodations, with dark rooms, but descent shower. Numerous local restaurant choices. The Italian restaurant next to the hotel is reasonably priced, service is good and the food is pretty good.
Could not get in the shower& no leg room to use the loo correctly.. I said i was diable at the booking but was not taken in ....sheets were nice & crispy clean ..
A clean and comfortable room for an overnight stay close to a range of restaurants.

alongside Brest Port
I picked this hotel for its situation next to the harbour, and the harbour is just across the road. Brest harbour is a busy working industrial harbour with little to see.
The Hotel is plain with spacious rooms. Our room was at the rear of the hotel. The décor was simple, clean and the bed was comfortable.
Booking in was easy with no fuss.
In the evening the resaurant was closed.
Breakfast was a self service buffet with a good choice.
If you want to eat elsewhere, there is also a wide range of restaurants close by
Le prix de la nuit est élevé pour la prestation, à laquelle il faut rajouter, si l'on veut, le petit déjeuner, au prix de 8 euros, que je n'ai donc pas pris. Le prix devrait comprendre le petit déjeuner. Ce serait plus correct...

Très bon accueil et monsieur très serviable.
Très déçu par la chambre , pas de télécommande pour la télé. Moquette pas aspirée , fenêtre qui ferme mal, oreiller taché, literie vieille.
Salle de bain pas propre, cheveux, rideau de douche moisi ...

Hôtel simple parfait pour un court séjour
Hôtel simple mais très accueillant, directement sur le port de Brest à recommander pour un court séjour lié à des activités maritimes
L'hygiène n'est pas terrible, le ménage est vite fait (on trouve des restes des clients précédents ) beaucoup de poussière sous les lits etc. La salle de bains n'est pas en bon état (cloison de douche déboîtée et sale), la literie est franchement mauvaise. Il n'y a pas de volets à la fenêtre et la fenêtre de la salle de bain ne peut pas s'ouvrir à cause de son mauvais état. Les voisins de chambre ont été un peu bruyants et à 6h du matin la tenancière à talons s'est mise à trotter bruyamment sans arrêt donc impossible de se reposer avec tous ces éléments. De toute facon la lumière passe par la fenêtre. Dans le couloir où on était, ça puait, désolé mais il n'y a pas d'autre mot. Les restaurants aux abords valent vraiment la peine.

Marges de progrès
Hôtel vieillot dans un environnement portuaire peu attractif.
Mériterait une bonne rénovation pour le rendre plus agréable,d'autant que la concurrence est rude avec 2 Ibis récents à côté...
Le petit déjeuner est de qualité et à un prix raisonnable.

Hôtel proche de l'embarcadère pour Ouessant
Hôtel proche de l'embarcadère pour Ouessant, 5 on a pied.
L'hôtel est propre et la chambre calme, literie bonne. Bien situé sur le port de commerce, proche des restos et bars, nous n'avons pas dîné à l'hôtel. Le petit déjeuner est très copieux, en self service.
Très bon rapport qualité-prix.
