Hôtel Le Bretagne in Vannes

Located well but had a very poor experience here. Nothing individually awful but rather a series of small slights and a lack of empathy or service.

Arrived in the morning of a Saturday, with plans to attend a wedding that afternoon. We asked whether an early check in before 3pm was possible and were told categorically no. We then asked whether there was a room or space we could use for my wife to get ready, and were told the hallway mirror and toilet are available to us if we'd like.

Checked in to find the room (a "standard" room) was very small, as was the bathroom. Clearly a larger room had been split into two small ones. The room was a little larger than the bed, which is a narrow double of 160cm, and had room to walk around all sides. The bathroom has a standing shower and toilet, with room for one person to realistically get ready. We were disappointed to find that the adjustable shower head was broken and would not stay in position, though it did provide water fine when held in the hand. The cup in the room was cracked. Also we could not find an iron to prepare our clothes. Notably the doors are not self locking so care should be taken to check the door before leaving, as well as when sleeping at night if that is a concern.

It was an unusually hot and humid summer day, and the rooms are not air conditioned. Not a problem itself, but we asked for a fan and were told "we do not have fans for the standard rooms". Instead we left for the wedding steeped in sweat.

After one night we decided to forgo the second night we had booked and move to another property.

The hotel itself is well-located and the ornamental decor is charming and quaint (with a view of the castle rampart), however this is simply not enough to justify the €100 per night price. Each of the points above alone would be a small nuisance, but together made us feel like we were unwanted house guests rather than paying customers.
