Hotels near Opticien Direct Optic, 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.

The images on the website must have been from years ago when the hotel was first built or when it was last refurbished if it has ever been refurbished. The condition of the hotel fixtures and fittings was very poor and dilapidated. The staff were very welcoming but none of them could speak a word of English. To be fair I can’t speak French but I’m not the host. There was some reason that the roads around the hotel were all closed off, it was either for the market or possibly because the authorities were expecting unrest due to protests over the French elections. This meant we couldn’t drive to the car park by the hotel and had to park a good 0.5km walk away and carry our heavy luggage to the hotel. I appreciate that this was not the hotels fault but they could have let guests know before their arrival instead of us driving round and round trying to find a route to the hotel. We were a group of 4 in 2 cars driving from Northern Spain through France to the UK. We stayed in hotels San Sebastián, Bordeaux, Saint Amelia (chateau) Vanes, and Honfleur staying in hotels everyone of which were superb but whilst the bed was very comfortable that was the only positive about this hotel in Angers.

This IBIS has a good location, close to the cathedral and centre, near the river. Parking is available at private multi-storey carpark nearby and other carparks. The downstairs of the hotel is modern with good decoration. The hotel corridors are dated. The room is basic, painted anaglypta wallpaper, and the tan paint is a poor choice of colour. Only an overnight stop but would not return.

Second stay, very nice The hotel on the ground floor is a supermarket where you can buy something and take it back to your room for processing. The rooms include induction cookers, filter coffee pots, pots, frying pans, pots, wipes, rags, extraction hoods, knives, forks and cups. Please bring in addition to towels, bath towels and bath fluids. You don't need someone to actively clean it. There are two huge sorting bins. The bathroom is wet and dry. The hot water is very good.

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.

This hotel deserves better reviews. The room was huge and very thoughtfully designed. Very clean too. Also appreciated the parking which was private and secure - connected to the main building.

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.
