A snapshot of guest ratings and stories behind the stay.
“Cercle très bien situé. Chambre agréable, bien équipée et propre. Petit bémol, penser à changer les fenêtres car au niveau isolation ce n'est pas ça. Personne à l'accueil très agréable et serviable. Petit déjeuner sympathique.”
“Très bien accueillis. Chambre spacieuse, propre. Petit déjeuner et repas de midi en salle à manger, menus très corrects et de qualité. Service très pros. Repas du soir, et apero, pris au bar. Personnel très sympathique, et plats proposés très appétissants et très bien présentés. Au top. Merci”
“Bien situé, parking très grand et sur ce qui.permet de tout faire à pied. Chambre spacieuse et confortable. Le bar est sympa il en est de même pour le restaurant prix imbattable et repas de qualité. Accueil très chaleureux, à l écoute et de bon conseils. Je recommande.”
“Très bon accueil. Petit déjeuner très complet. Chambre et lit confortables. Mais fenêtres hors d'âge totalement opaques...”
“La chambre était agréable , le lit était confortable. Par contre même avec le chauffage au plus bas il faisait très chaud. Cela fait plusieurs fois que j'y loge et l'accueil est toujours top . Le petit déjeuner est copieux et bon”
“Réservé aux ressortissants du ministère des armées et retraités. On y mange bien, pensez à réserver plusieurs semaines à l'avance surtout si vous souhaitez déjeuner le jeudi midi. Salle un peu bruyante”
“Avantage: accueil, propreté, calme de l'établissement, en plein centre ville, rapport qualité/prix imbattable. Inconvénient: les fenêtres des chambres donnant sur la rue manque d'étanchéité tant du point de vue des courant d'air que du bruit de la rue.”
“Déplacement professionnel. Lieux agréable, avec de belles chambres, bien situé en ville avec sa position centrale. Difficile d'avoir mieux pour les mêmes prestations et le même emplacement. Service de bar et brasserie vraiment bon marché et de qualité. Très proche de la gare SNCF de Brest ( environ 500m à pieds).”
