호텔 드 프랑스 앙제(Hotel de France)

The conciege who welcomed us at the reception desk was very friendly and helpful in explaining what we needed to know and he gave us a good tip where to have dinner, namely the Brasserie de la Gare just across from the hotel. While our room had a slightly aged appearance due to the fact that the hotel is 100 years old, everything needed was there. The refrigerator was well stocked and working well, the queen-sized bed was comfortable. The bathroom was completely renovated with new tiles and a modern glass enclosed showerstall, quite nice. We enjoyed our stay at the hotel and would book it again, except for the breakfast. Breakfast consists of a self service buffet that at first look seems rather nice, which you would expect for the price 20 Euros per person. However we have had better baguettes, the smoked salmon was salty, the cold cuts were of the cheaper kinds of wurst, no scrambled eggs or fried sausages, and the coffee was not very good. 20 Euros for this kind of a buffet is too much, 10 Euros would be adequate. There are better breakfast deals in the restos in the trainstation just across from the hotel

Needs updating... i think the rug was over 20 years,. We were 2 people with 1 towel to dry off from showering... used a face cloth. The view was not particularly enchanting of roof tops. Front desk reception was efficient and helpful. Conveniently located across from train station.

Room 401 has a terrific view of the fountain in font of the railroad station. The hotel is very centrally located and is within easy walking distance of many major attractions. Staff was friendly and helpful and spoke excellent English. Breakfast buffet was extensive and served in an inviting room. We left the big double doors of our 4th floor room open to the square every night but if you want quiet, closing the doors eliminates the noise from below. We were very comfortable for a 4 night stay. I can't comment on the cost because it was part os an OAT tour. There are many hotels in this area but you will not be disappointed at this one. The only negatives were that many of the in-room safes did not work (locked) or did not lock. The step up to the bathtub was very high and difficult to navigate for older people.

Friendly and helpful staff, good breakfast and comfortable bed. However, the room needs renovation: wallpaper torn in places, noisy air conditioning.

Pretty miserable place. Since staying I have enjoyed reading the Owners rants about his wonderful hotel. My experience was a crusty hotel, lacking care from staff or care from the owner. Sometimes it is about money and here it is clearly lacking despite the Owners delusional defence. This place is definitely not 4 stars - I’m struggling to think 3, given I’ve just spent a night in the 3 * Anne d’Anjou in Saumur and that was excellent.

This is an older hotel and the rooms feel like it a little. However, this isn't a bad thing. The best part about the hotel is that it's in the middle of everything. A 5 minute walk from the train station, it's situated on a plaza with lots of restaurants and shopping in the area. It is an easy walk to the old part of town and the historic sites associated with Angers.

The hotel is on a busy street opposite the main railway station. The hotel website advertised air-conditioning to allow windows to be closed to allow a quiet and cool night but I was told by Arnaud the night manager you did not turn this on after the summer to conserve energy.

Booked this stop on a Loire Valley driving tour of 3 couples with luxury cars. Called before booking to check hotel had secure private parking, explaining the importance of this. They confirmed that it did. When we arrived, we discovered that the car park was too narrow for our cars and that spaces had to be reserved in advance, none of which had bred advised in the call. As a result, we had to cancel the booking and find an alternative hotel, which cost us the price of the three rooms. Extremely stressful and distressing situation

Hotel de France could use an interior renovattion. The building is absolutely beautifu. The area is absolutely perfect, great food and drinks all around the hotel and Angers is an amazing city
