Oceania Hôtel de France Nantes

Without a doubt a perfect location for a stay in Nantes. The staff from reception, bar, waiting and cleaning, all were exceptionally friendly and helpful. The bedroom was clean, well stocked and extremely comfortable. I highly recommend this hotel to anyone visiting Nantes. The hotel made my visit special, I will be back, soon, I hope.

Beautiful hotel in a fantastic location, right on Place Graslin. I had a deluxe double room, which was very comfortable with nice facilties. Coffee machine, robes, slippers, toiletries, safe and very spacious. The breakfast was delightful, I particularly liked the smoked salmon with some of the fresh breads. The staff were wonderful, particularly Monan, who helped us with recommendations for sights & restaurants. We ate at Chez Franklin which was lovely, a very popular spot. I would highly recommend this hotel.

Excellent location in the core of the city - we walked everywhere and there are tons of restaurants and bars in the area. Modern interior in a historical building. Staff are very helpful and attentive. Our room was soundproof, well-lit and spacious with an excellent shower, a very comfortable bed and full control of the air system (heat or cool).

We highly recommend this lovely hotel. The location is superb, a stone's throw away Graslin Square. Do frequent the bars and restaurants there. Pilgrim was especially good. The hotel is a delight. The staff couldn't be more helpful. Reception area is impressive. Our room was 107 with its creative decoration and unusual bathroom. Comfy bed and everything you need for your stay.

Reception staff very welcoming & were helpful throughout our stay. The night receptionist doubled up as the barman & nothing was too much trouble. The rooms were clean, the towels & bathrobes luxurious. The entrance is grand with a little of the faded opulence about it, very charming

Our stay was more than just wonderful!First off, the hotel staff are very nice, especially the humorous and handsome gentleman with glasses who led us to our room! We would like to tell you - Nantes won! And my boyfriend wanted to tell you - what a NICE WATCH you got! And, thank you for your warm welcome and strong work ethics. Way to go!Secondly, the room was clean and tidy and everything was where they should be haha - each bottle of water on each bedside table, trash bin under the sink, towel near the shower, even the hand wash. They use Rituals, liquid hand wash, not soap. Can you imagine? Class, classy! We have travelled everywhere and most hotels use soap, with no soap case, so the soap always makes a mess in the sink.Thirdly, they have a vending machine in the lobby where we can buy bottled water. Lovely! In general, perfecto!

At arrival we were welcomed by Anthony who helped us entering the street of the pedestrian zone and the parking lot. Fortunately there were still parking spaces , there are 10 in total, if available it is free. That’s a plus! What a service. He helped us check in show us around. When our safe has a technical failure he sorted a solution providing a new one. The hotel is in the middle of the centre 2 minutes from La Cigale. Good breakfast with self service nespresso coffee and the best madeleine. What disappointed me was the inappropriate frugality of the amenities. Why one bottle of 500 ml mineral water while we are with 2 persons? How much does this cost? And used Rituals toiletries from previous guests? Seriously in a 4 star hotel. When questioning they came with 2 new mini bottles but in the end give me one new bottle to replace the half used one. Why so stingy? When informing it was because of sustainability and to prevent waste. A good cause but why bothering using mini toiletries at all and not change to use only large bottles of refillables? It feels a bit half-hearted and unable to choose between customer service and thriftiness.

We’ve just checked in at Oceania, and honestly — what a fantastic choice for our short trip to France! The location couldn’t be more perfect or central and the staff have been nothing short of brilliant.||||A special mention goes to Anthony (apologies if I’ve spelled your name wrong) — he not only made our check-in smooth and welcoming, but also pointed out the best local attractions. Later, he served us at the bar with an impressive knowledge of wine, making the experience even better.||||I couldn’t recommend this hotel more for anyone visiting Nantes!

I spent my birthday in Nantes and loved this hotel. Our room was on the top floor in the corner and had a wonderful view of the Place Graslin. The staff were friendly, helpful and very accommodating. They made dinner reservations for us and helped with any directions or information we needed for our stay in Nantes. The location can't be beat. So close to all the sites, shopping and great restaurants. Being on the edge of the pedestrian zone makes it challenging to get there by car. Call ahead and they will give you a code to enter the area plus directions to the lot right behind their hotel. Once the car is safely parked, everything else can be reached easily on foot and it is a pleasure to explore the city from the hotel's location. The room itself was quite comfortable and had amazing air conditioning considering how in France that is not always the case. The bed was so comfortable I never wanted to get out of it! Breakfast was wonderful. The typical French breakfast you know and love. I did find a new favorite thing at breakfast which is a local specialty called Le Gateau Nantes. It is the most deliciously moist and decadent rum cake that went great with a strong cup of coffee. I loved the cake so much I ended up buying one on the way out of town to enjoy down the road. I look forward to my next visit to Nantes and know exactly where I will be staying.
