Balthazar Hotel & Spa Rennes - MGallery Collection

Nice room, helpful staff, good location

Great location . Central to most sights you want to see . Fairly close to train station . The room is large and comf

Beautiful hotel in a terrific location -- walkable to train station and Old City. Lovely bar and lobby area to relax in and the rooms were spacious and very comfortable. The products in the bathrooms were also lovely and I appreciated the eco-friendly steps of providing shampoo, soap, conditioner, etc and avoiding small, single us plastics. Lovely, thoughtful design and excellent sound proofing. We never heard our neighbors. Only comment is that they need to clean the rugs. Gym also decent for a french hotel, but my favorite work out was a run along the river -- there's an outstanding path for a long walk / run that is close to the hotel. Staff were very helpful in making dinner reservations and in general, extremely pleasant. Definitely recommend this hotel.

Staff was great!

A great hotel in the middle of Rennes. The hotel itself is wonderful—rooms are great, and so is the hotel restaurant. It is very conveniently located, close to restaurants and about a 12 min walk from the main train station.

Well maintained

A wonderful 2 night stay, very comfortable, outstanding shower & friendly & helpful staff. Would definitely visit again if in the area.

It was a great experience, will be happy to come back again!

This is a very nice boutique hotel. The staff are very friendly and helpful. We had a deluxe room looking onto the courtyard, which was very quiet. The room was very stylish with a great bathroom. The only flaw was that the shower door leaked due to the fact that it was designed with no seal on the door. There is a very nice spa which is well equipped. We both enjoyed very effective foot massages to relieve the pressures of too much sightseeing.

Great place to explore Rennes

Great hotel in Rennes. Clean, well-appointed, and modern rooms. Very central location near restaurants and shops, and Rennes is a very walkable city. Staff were professional and knowledgeable. Restaurant offered good breakfast spread, but didn’t have chance to have lunch or dinner there. Tiny gym, which was too small to be practical. Spa was nice additional, although it tended to get crowded at times. Overall, I think this is the top hotel in Rennes.

Lovely hotel, great welcome by staff, large clean room and amazing comfy bed. Very impressed and great central location.

Helpful and welcoming staff, clean, comfortable room

Lovely hotel, enjoyed the small swimming pool on a hot day, and nice breakfast selection!

Fantastic breakfast! Highly recommend hotel!

Hotel was great and staff were good but they charged 100 euros per person for the two nights as a deposit (ie 400 euros PLUS the cost of the room as a deposit) nearly £700 as a charge before we paid when we left. They would not accept Amex to pay the deposit (even though we had paid using Amex via Hotels.com) and when we left we paid for the room on Amex and were told it takes 3 effin days for the bank to re credit the drposit money to our account!!! Luckily we had the money on deposit but would have been embarrassing if we hadn’t

Very nice hotel. Very friendly staff, close to everything and excellent condition. The only thing I would suggest if that they better inform the guest arriving by car, that the hotel entrance( and car drop off) is in a street that is forbidden for not authorized cars … but according to them, if you are staying in the hotel you are allowed to be in that street

Room needs some upgrade, ensure all trash pickup is everyday. Pleasant desk personnel. However more space in the lobby to sit and have coffee would be helpful.

Simply Excellent. Try the 3,4 or 5 course degustation menu at La table de Balthazar.

We love to comeback here if we have a chance.

Breakfast is very good, hotel pretty nice. I would go back for sure.

This is a nice hotel, with excellent restaurant, service, AC, WIFI, ambiance, general comfort and location, the only negative things that in my could be better would be English news Channel like CNN, parking facilities without an overprice, better fitness room (larger and with a TV) and a bit more light in the rooms. We specially loved the service, always excellent, the excellent location, the delicious shower and more than anything else, the outstanding restaurant.

Wonderful hotel! Excellent staff who provided exceptional service. Safe, convenient to sightseeing and restaurants. Would highly recommend!

Great local Hotel with a friendly helpful staff

The restaurant la table de Balthazar was fantastic, and we really enjoyed the spa as well.

Lovely, well appointed hotel in the centre of town with friendly, welcoming staff. Perfect pace to stay when in Rennes.

The hotel is about 50 metres down a one way street and my lift dropped me at the top of the road. When I arrived the hotel looked as if it had gone out of business. It was all boarded up and only by chance the door opened and I was able to get in. Paid a lot of money to stay here in order to use spa and restaurant. The spa facilities have to be booked and must have arrived at the busiest time and restaurant also fully booked. I was a single traveller and was offered to eat in the bar area which was a busy thoroughfare. It seemed strange how I was offered bar food and not allowed in the restaurant. On my return after eating out I noticed there was space in the restaurant after all. It seems that arrogant purveys at this hotel

Our first time in Rennes, and after a bit too much road time, we wanted a nice place to unwind that was also centrally located, for our few days available to explore Rennes. When booking on Hotels.com, the Balthazar appeared to be that place... and we were not disappointed! From the moment we walked thru the door, we could see and feel the elegance / class of the hotel, and of its staff. Beautiful and comfortable lobby, bar, patio... elegant dining room, relaxing spa, and well-appointed, spacious, and comfortable rooms. The hotel is a short cab ride from the train station, and walking distance to center city, restaurants, a truly wonderful park, and the Saturday morning market.

Very nice

Very helpful staff. Clean room and bathroom. Stylish and comfortable lobby.

Great hotel in the best location. The staff was excellent.

Perfect spot to spend a couple days in remnes

Very nice boutique hotel. Modern bathroom. Very quiet. Staff is extremely nice

Excellent experience. Would stay there every time I visit Rennes.

This hotel was an unexpected jewel. By far the best hotel in Rennes! The service is outstanding. Alexandre and Marike made us feel very taken care of. The amenities are above and beyond what we expected. From coffee to bottles of water and madeleines every night in the room. The rooms are clean, modern and spacious. The bar and appetizers are super. Try the hibiscus Gin and tonic. You will thank me for the advice! The spa is welcoming, quiet and a great place to finish the day. We liked this hotel so much that we cancelled a reservation in Saint Malo to go back and spend one more night at Balthazar!

The Staff were very nice, spoke English and very friendly and helpful. The hotel is very upscale and the rooms, although a bit small, were very nice. The restaurant was fantastic. I highly recommend this hotel. I thoroughly enjoyed my stay.

Well located, elegant, great hospitality. Would definitely choose it again.

This is the second time I've stayed at the Balthazar. Pros: Quiet location, close to shopping. First-rate breakfast buffet. Cons: The room air-conditioning could be improved. The room was a bit warm and stuffy, even though I had the air conditioning set to the coldest level. The mini-bar is free but it does not contain any alcohol. It would be nice to add some beer and wine to the mini-bar in the rooms to avoid the hassle of having to order room service.

Concierge parking. Room double doors both double glazed so soundproof from road below. Attentive staff, good maps with restaurant classes. Excellent breakfast worth paying for.

Nice property near the old city. Our room had a little balcony with roof top views. Modern, spacious and my wife loved the spa. Staff was warm and welcoming. Waze keep me going in circles so they talked me to a place where I could park and the valet came to get us. Room was spacious and great price makes this a terrific value. You won’t regret booking here. Just use the street name when inputting your navigation app. They replenished the mini bar daily. The toilet is in a separate area but does not have a sink.

This is a magnificent hotel and spa in the heart of beautiful , historic and vibrant Rennes. The hotel staff were exceptional- immediately welcoming and accommodating, concerned that all of our needs were met and questions answered. We will stay here again the next time we are in Rennes and we would highly recommend this hotel to everyone. Thank you!

Love this hotel. So stylish with super efficient staff. Park the car on the street outside and it is taken away and brought back in the morning. A convenient location to be able to walk to a nearby brasserie. Super suite up on the fifth floor overlooking the rooftops of Rennes.

Excellent evening staff, breakfast, room and spa. Morning staff not as well trained, did not speak English as well, poor directions to shopping and bus to airport. Otherwise it was a lovely place, Loved the spa!

Wonderful and classy hotel. One of the best in all respects. Great staff, good location, soothing atmosphere, tasty food and drink, spa is a nice treat.

The spa was free and relaxing. Much needed after extended travel. Close enough to train station while being also close to historic section of Rennes

Great hotel for the price. Very nice room with plenty of space.

This is a lovely modern hotel staffed by young clerks who are eager to help your stay go smoothly. The tricky part for us is that the street is closed to motor traffic except for buses. This really confused us, as we drove round and round trying to find a place to park so that we could check in. No luck! We finally had to drive down the forbidden street and park up on the sidewalk in front of the hotel in order to check in. This turned out to be exactly what everyone does, and then the valet takes your car away somewhere to park it. So, you will have to get everything out of your car that you think you will need during your stay, as it is tricky to get to your car again. Once we managed that, everything else about the stay was just wonderful. The room, the breakfast, the shower, the comfortable bed, the cleanliness... all good! Great location for exploring Rennes.

Lovely hotel in fab location

A good hôtel nicely located rooms are nice confortable good level breakfast exellent

highly recommend

Very nice hotel just in city center. Excellent rooms, good breakfest, restaurant good even the food a bit touristic

Beautiful boutique hotel., check in excellent as was breakfast , room and hotel. Hotel central would highly recommend this hotel

My new address in Rennes ! Beautiful room, very design, large with a nice bathroom. Very good staff very dedicated and helpful. And very good food at the room service. I highly recommend !

Excellent hotel. Lovely staff. Great location.

A true 5 star hotel, in an elegant and understated way. Spacious room, large walk in shower, very nice amenities. The breakfast is delicious with hot items cooked to order along with a buffet. Lovely helpful staff! Wouldn’t stay anywhere else in Rennes

A very good stay. Excellent staff.

Terrific hotel near everything. Great staff.

The staff was excellent. The city of Rennes was disappointing. I would not walk around the area of the hotel after dark. There are beggars everywhere and I did not feel safe.

Quiet street convenient for train station 10 min walk friendly staff

Rooms are very quiet and comfortable ; breakfast was superb and the staff efficient and friendly

Excellent hotel with plenty of character and friendly staff

Enjoyed the hotel - well placed for both station and centre of town, friendly staff and enjoyable breakfast cooked to order.

Close to train station and old part of town Wish we could have stayed longer!

Very nice hotel. Beautiful, fresh, contemporary decor. Great breakfast. Helpful staff. Very small, and not crowded, gym. Highly recommended.

This is a beautiful place ! The room is very comfortable and that shower is so big that you may just get lost in it ! Very helpful and friendly staff . The hardest part was having to leave the comfort to go back to normal life!

This hotel is so pretty and boutique look like. Very nice design and unique. Highly recommend! The Best hotel in Rennes!

Great place with excellent staff, handsome facility and good location.

It was super quiet and the location was perfect. The staff was also very helpful with everything.

Beautiful, centrally located hotel. We picked it based on the reviews and we were not disappointed. The beds were incredibly comfortable. Shower was great and accommodated my very tall american husband. Only drawback was the super loud English football team who was staying in the hotel and playing against Rennes. They woke me at 3 am with their yelling.

As a single woman traveling alone for the first time, I was nervous. However everyone at this hotel made me feel most welcome and secure. And, the food was superb!

Not up to the standards of other Sofitel properties.

Great Hotel in good location. Their restaurant is exceptional! Very attentive staff

Great location and super service 😀

Excellent hotel near great shopping, a nice variety of great food and a short walk to the second largest farmers market in France.

Comfortable lovely hotel in the center of town near shops, scenic attractions and which has a ever helpful welcoming staff and services!

Nice hotel

We have stayed here 3 times and it is one of our favorite boutique hotels. Rooms, staff and on-site restaurant are all excellent! Great find!

Beautiful layout and fantastic ambience; friendly engaging staff, comfortable rooms with great views and in an easily accessible area of the city.

Very well appointed hotel. Nice room. A little cold though. Not sure whether they understood my requests but they were not attended to. A little concern with the room service food - opened jam jar and it was mouldy.

Great location. Convenient to walking street, restaurants and shopping.

Everything was great! Free drinks in the mini bar and great room service breakfast. We didn't use the free hour per day in the spa but appreciate the offer.

The best and most helpful staff, at every area

The beds were excellent in this hotel and the staff was very friendly and helpful. However, one thing the hotel could work on is explaining upfront how to get the car to the valet parking. The road that goes in front of the hotel has "no turning", "do not enter" and "bus lane only" signs down every street making it seem impossible to get to the front of the hotel by car.

A very good hotel in the centre of modern Rennes perfect for shopping and sightseeing. A smart well designed establishment not that easy to find unless you take a taxi 20 Euros from airport. The largest bathroom I have ever had but sink taps which were smooth result difficult to turn off with wet hands. Bed slightly hard otherwise a very good room. the only fault was reception where on arrival they asked for 100 Euros on a credit card which was cancelled provided we had done no damage nor incurred any additional costs. This caused extra banking/exchange costs and left me feeling less like a guest and more like a potential criminal. I would have been happier handing over 100 Euros in cash for it to be returned later. Which would have left me feeling wealthier if not trustworthy.

We've been to this fabulous hotel before and couldn't wait to visit it again. It's a difficult location to get to by car because the street has restricted access times; but that said a very charming young man was on the pavement almost before we had pulled up. Bags whisked inside and our car taken off to the hotel's secure parking in a matter of minutes. Two charming young ladies to check us in: and would we like a complimentary room upgrade to a top floor suite? Yes we would. Escorted up to our room by one of the receptionists who described our upgrade as the best room in the hotel. Fabulous vista out over the rooftops of Rennes accompanied by an equally fabulous sunset. Tired after a 3 hour drive from Niort we decided to dine in on room service which we thoroughly enjoyed on our private terrace! Wonderfully attentive breakfast in the morning before an early check out - our car was waiting outside even before we had reached reception from our room. Would we stay again> You bet!

Great hotel with really friendly accommodating staff

I would rate this hotel as a four-star hotel, not a five-star hotel. The construction was solid and rooms were very quiet. We never heard any noise from adjacent rooms or from the hall. Air conditioning worked very well.

Loved the hotel and its location in Rennes was perfect as it was so central. Would love to visit again. Staff were very friendly and standards were high.

Comfort to the max. Very nice welcome from stuff since the door till the room. Delicious food cool ambience.

Fantastic stay! Everything was perfect!

Brief...very brief. The hotel is very well appointed, great location, but by far, the best thing about this hotel was the people who served us. From the reception desk, to the bar, every person we talked to treated us as "special guests". The owners of this hotel should feel proud of their staff. We will gladly be coming back. - Bern & Audrey Ruelas

Excellent service, ambiance cosy, chambre propre,

There’s a lot about this place that is very good. The service on the whole was extremely helpful. We had a superior room which was comfortable and nicely designed if a bit small. BUT – it was, sadly, a triumph of design over practicality. It had a spacious bathroom with large walk-in shower. It has a neat pull-out hanging space for clothes – and yet there was not 1 drawer in the room for clothes. The room desperately needed a chest of drawers. So, OK for one night perhaps, but we stayed 4 and ran out of space.

Excellent hotel, highly recommended. Just 1/3 mile from the train station.

We had a great stay in this nice hotel. Every aspect of it is just outstanding. The staff is friendly, helpful and very professional. The rooms are nicely decorated. This is the place to stay in Rennes and one of the best experience we had in a hotel in France.

The breakfast was overpriced but everything else was excellent. Loved our hour in the spa

Hotel was extremely comfortable, and the bathroom was excellent with a soaker tub and separate rainfall shower. Tea and Nespresso coffee maker in the room were a nice touch. One way streets and confusing signs make it difficult to find, but just pull up on the sidewalk in front when you find the place, and they will valet park for you. This is definitely worth the 20€ daily charge.

Great Hotel with nice Spa. Just a bit small and you had to pre book otherwise a fantastic couple of nights away

This is a sophisticated hotel in a good location. We were impressed as soon as we walked in with the pleasant treatment by the staff and the quality of the room. The breakfast buffet was delicious. We wished that we could have stayed longer.

Very close to the center. Beautiful hotel with a great staff
