Bateau Libre

We stayed in the Cabine Familiale for 3 nights with our 2 primary school aged children. The room was perfect with twin beds in one section and a double in the other. The beds were extremely comfortable and the facilities were all we needed. The staff were all very friendly and helpful. The location was excellent with a short walk to the beach, great restaurants and plenty of free parking nearby. Bénodet is a lovely town and we will certainly stay at Bateau Libre next time we visit.

What a find! A wonderfully renovated hotel located very centrally in Bénodet, Brittany with a vintage twist to its decoration! We spent 2 nights in the 'Cabine Double Confort' room, on the 2nd floor. It was very quiet giving onto the back of the building and very bright with 5 large windows. There was a even a desk/office area for a bit of home officing!|It seems like all the staff were recruited for their smileyness and very warm welcome! To our regret, we did not taste the bar food, but fully enjoyed a couple of glasses of wine there after dinner elsewhere & got to know some of the other guests! Breakfast was delish, with a yogurt & raspberry coulis peppered with lime zest and brown sugar to start with, different kinds of breads, fruits & juices as well as pots of coffee and tea. We asked for capuccinos from the bar, just to get the full coffee hit!|There is no designated car park at this hotel, but instead a public car park very close by. Also people with mobility restrictions should be aware that there is no lift to the upper floors (I don't think this was specified on the website), but there is at least one room on the ground floor.

Jean-Ettiene was a wonderful host. He was very happy to recommend restaurants, and made some great wine recommendations. |The hotel was very clean and had a great atmosphere. |The decor was very nice, we liked the unusual style.|Bed was very comfortable.|Breakfast was excellent!

Basic French boutique hotel. Very clean, nice, comfortable rooms with tv. Staff most helpful and friendly. No restaurant, but nice continental breakfasts. Recommended.

I was really touched by the sweetness of Jean Etienne’s service at this little hotel where one feels at home, welcome and really taken care of. My room was spacy and comfortable and well decorated. A lot of thought had been put into each detail. The bar and dining area are really funky and stick out from the rest of Benodet (quite classic), great music and beautiful food. Local and healthy but also scrumptious and edgy. Would love to come back!

A lovely boutique hotel in Bénodet close to the port and beaches.|There is a 5 minute ferry over to St Marine which is also lovely.|The staff were extremely friendly and helpful - we enjoyed our stay very much.|The place has a feel of home about it rather than a hotel - lovely decor.|Highly recommend

Lovely place, lovely service, great price, great location! We stayed 2 nights hors saison and really enjoyed our time here. The style is modern and efficient but you have everything you need, the bed is super comfy, the shower is brand new, wifi is speedy, and the bar area is great for working, a drink, or a coffee. We would gladly stay here again, thank you Bateau Libre!

Fantastic rooms at a very friendly price and the owner is very nice and prepares a very good breakfast. I recommend strongly the BATEAU LIBRE if you travel in Brittany. Excellent deal.
