Hotels near Greniers Saint-Jean d'Angers, Angers

What a lovely hotel in a lovely city. Although it has Centre Gare in its name the hotel is some way from the station, about a 10-15 minute walk. It is on the Tramway which stops right outside the hotel. What makes this hotel special is the young staff, they work as team from reception to the housekeepers nothing is too much trouble. Loredana on reception epitomised all that is good about the hotel. Helpful, efficient with much bonhomie. The breakfast room was kept up-to-date and there was a wide range of choice to suit all needs. The room was modest but kept impeccably clean by friendly housekeepers. The very minor negative was the toilet tissue and not toilet roll, as all travellers know this can be an issue. The Manager of this hotel should take great credit and pride in the team he/she has built. It was the the polar opposite of the Nantes hotel reviewed later.

We stayed in the apartment at Foch 21 to attend a nearby wedding & from first booking to departure it was a perfect experience. Easy to book, easy arrangements with Thomas the hotel owner and a perfectly appointed, stylish appointment to use. Ideally located in the centre of Angers, we walked to and from the station (following an easy TGV ride from Paris). Angers itself is a really super town with history, culture & shopping to suit. Easy transport round town with a tram system but easy walking too. Would highly recommend the apartment for a couple or family - would work for two couples who know each other well, but more a family apartment than a two bed to share. Great value as it also allows you to self cater or eat in the hotel or out in the town.

We had a rental car with us, so having some spaces out front of this hotel to temporarily park our car to unload our luggage to check in was priceless. There is a garage near by just a short walk away. The front desk staff were always friendly. English speaking so that was helpful since our French is very poor. The location is superb. Restaurants, patisserie, small grocery store, café all just steps away. We also walked to visit Chateau Angers and the cathedral from here. No need to drive anywhere. In the early morning, there were street noise noticeable from delivery and road traffic. Some notes for travelers: the hotel did not have AC. Only on the ground level with AC where reception is located. That was tough for the afternoon since it was warm. But once the sun went down, we were able to open the windows to let some cool air in. Also, the hotel does have an elevator, but that is on a floor up. If you are unable to lift luggage or walk stairs, need to keep that in mind. The front desk does assist with luggage if needed.

Small hotel located across the street from the train station. There is a large parking garage next to the station for your car and you can unload your car directly in front of the hotel before parking it if you pull partially up on the sidewalk. The location is good- only a 10 minute walk to reach the historical areas. The reception area is small as is the breakfast room. The hotel has a lift but only 2 of the seven rooms on the first floor are directly across from it. The other 5 rooms (like ours) were accessible only by the stairs although the reception staff were helpful in carrying luggage. The room was very small but clean. There is only a small rod available to hang clothes. Bedside “stands” were a 4x6 inch shelf. There was a power outlet only under one of them. There was a very small desk with 2 outlets- if you unplug the coffee maker. However the light over the desk was by far the brightest we had on our trip and greatly appreciated. The bathroom was also minuscule but had adequate storage space around the sink and a small shelf for toiletries. The shower was powerful but cruise ship sized. They supplied shower gel from a wall mounted dispenser. Surprisingly they provided a box of facial tissue- none of the 4 star hotels we had stayed in prior to this had tissues. Getting to the toilet took a bit of contortions but it worked well. The breakfast was pretty basic- a choice of breads and pastries, two cheeses and some meats, yogurt, fruit, two cereals. They had a hot water bath if you wanted to boil eggs. Coffee was just a pot of American style coffee - no French coffees were offered. The staff was friendly and helpful. This simply is basic no frills accommodations- good for a one night stopover but too small to tolerate for longer stays.

We came to Angers to celebrate our one year wedding anniversary. Upon arrival, Ophelia welcomed us beautifully. We were her priority and she provided every courtesy, recognizing we had been traveling for hours. We stayed in the Executive room on the 10th floor. The room was very clean and well appointed with a desk, armchair and separate WC from the shower. The coffee maker and kettle had everything needed for coffee and tea. The bed was so comfortable and the view is absolutely amazing. We then went downstairs for an aperitif and met Lena. She acknowledged us by name immediately and upon request, suggested brunch locations for the next day. Lena made reservations for us and was very thorough in explaining the location to us. In addition, we detailed their plans to decorate our room for our anniversary when we arrived around 1. When we returned our room had hearts laid in the floor, leading a large heart on the bed and a box of chocolates. Very lovely. We could not have asked for a better hotel with a more complete team. Oh - and they had no problem speaking English and it is a 5 minute walk from the train station.

Overall the property was fine, staff friendly and the location was good. One inexcusable thing was there was no hot water on my first morning there. This meant I was forced to take a freezing cold shower and as a result I also missed my breakfast- or I would have been late for a meeting. Not a good first impression and not something I would be prepared to risk in future. For this reason I won’t risk staying at the Odalys again.
