  • Visiting Mont Saint Michele is like taking a walk back in time. The shops and other buildings were built centuries ago. The Abbey is breathtaking. Take a tour if you can. Be prepared to do a lot of climbing, the island is quite small and very steep. This place is one continuous photo op.

Cheap two star hotel. Don’t expect any frills because there aren’t any but it is warm, very convenient and clean. Our room- 1 had been recently decorated very pleasantly. Room was small but fine for one night.

欧州の良さが凝縮されたかの様な環境下にあるホテル。

モンサンミシェル近くの宿を元々予約していたのですが、理由不明にキャンセルされてしまい急遽手配したのがこちらのお宿。到着が遅くなってしまいましたが、オーナーが丁寧にユーモアを交えながら応対して頂き、感謝しています。フジェールの街並みは欧州らしさを表していて素晴らしかったです。 ホテル前の通りには、まさにゴッホの絵画『夜のテラス』の様な良い雰囲気を持ったパブがあります（中ではサッカー中継）。 ホテル設備は一般レベルですが、治安良く、静かなフジェールでの宿泊には、この宿を強くお勧めします。

Accueil convivial et personnel a l'écoute et très attentionné. Nous n'avons pas pu tester le dîner ayant réservé pour notre anniversaire de mariage dans un autre établissement ( recommandé par le maître des lieux). A refaire pour une visite plus approfondie de ce superbe village.

Bon hôtel, mais clients incorrects.

La chambre donnant sur la cour est au calme. Le personnel est aimable . Mais il faut éviter de séjourner dans cet hôtel quand y séjourne un groupe de cyclistes : rentrer à minuit, continuer bruyamment la conversation et les rires dans le couloir , faire de même dans la salle du petit-déjeuner le lendemain matin, ne leur pose aucun problème !

Simple mais efficcae. Accueil excellent

Hotel indépendant "à l'ancienne". Les chambres sont correctes avec une excellente literie. La bienveillance des patrons est très appréciable. En plein centre ville, facile pour découvrir la belle ville de Fougères. Manquerait plus qu'un petit coup de rafraichissement des chambres et ce serait parfait

Decouvrir et y revenir

Cet hôtel est situé en plein dans le vieux Fougères d'un aspect ancien ce qui se confond parfaitement dans le cadre de la vieille ville. Les personnes sont acceuillantes professionnelles. Loin de ces hôtels de grands groupes qui sont également très bien, mais cet hôtel renoue avec l image des hôtels familiales, conviviales où l'on a envie d y revenir...
