에스칼 오세아니아 반(Escale Oceania Vannes Centre)

Ideal location on the edge of the old town. Good parking, shops, restaurants

The Hotel is quite old and the rooms definitively don't look like the pictures they share. I think it was refurbished some time ago but still too many spots show the old substance. The beds are not very comfortable (too hard) and the restaurant menu mostly consists of meals with duck (very odd). The parking is also very very narrow and hard to fit in a parking space with a slightly bigger car. Also getting out is also challenging because of the narrow pathway in front to position in front of the garage door. And it's extremely noisy as its directly on a roundabout with lots of traffic. On the positive side, the staff is very friendly and helpful and the old city centre is in close walking distance. No need for public transport or car. But overall the hotel is not worth the money.

Convenient location north of the centre of Vannes. There is limited car parking available, at EUR 15 per night, and this tends to get booked up. We found two free car parks nearby, at the Palais des Arts and the Ryckebush car parks. There are a couple of drop-off spots at the front of the hotel for loading and unloading. Our room was clean and comfortable, and at the back of the hotel so very quiet and away from the traffic noise. Breakfast was fine, usual buffet and good coffee from a machine. It was served from 6.30am so that helped us with an early departure on our last day. The staff were very friendly and helpful, and spoke English if that is required.

We recently stayed in this hotel for six nights. We chose to upgrade to a Prestige room, room 212. It was at the front side of the hotel. The hotel is located on a very busy road and roundabout. One of the noisiest rooms that I have even stayed in. Even with the windows closed you could hear the traffic outside. You also had the seagulls with their non stop squawking from early morning. The first thing that struck me about this hotel was the lack of colour other than brown. Our bedroom had beige walls with dark brown floor boards, doors, furniture. Depressing. The extra space we had in our Prestige room was provided by a dormer style feature that protruded from the side of the building. It was a cave like feature. It had a chair, table and sofa in this space. We had what looked like a new bathroom. Very modern. Unfortunately it had a frosted glass door facing out in to the room. The shower was an excellent size, with plenty of hot water. Lovely fluffy towels. I have to say that the housekeeping was excellent. Our room was spotless. We had a coffee machine in the room with plenty of coffee provided. My wife drinks coffee, I don't. It would have been nice to have a few teas provided. On some days we were provided with two 500 ml bottles of water, on other days nothing. Shampoos, etc. were provided. Air Conditioning in the room was excellent. T.V. had no English channels. Linens very good. The toilet is separate to the bathroom. It would be useful if there was a small hand basin to wash your hands. You have to move to the bathroom to do this. We were only provided with six hangers in total in the wardrobe. Not enough, especially when you are staying for 6 nights. Staff were very pleasant. Check in was fast and efficient. It was a short walk to the old town of Vannes. The footpaths surrounding the hotel were very poor. Breakfasts were basic. The hot offering was scrambled eggs and bacon. The scrambled eggs were almost liquid like, every day. Bread selection was poor. two types of sweet bread for toasting, a brown bread offering and a portion of roll. you had the usual yogurt, cereals, fruit, hams, jams and cheese. All right for one night but we couldn't face in to this every day. So we didn't. All in all we enjoyed our stay.

Great place to stay for a visit to Vannes, super close to the old town with parking. Team at the hotel are very friendly and polite. Rooms not large but very clean and comfortable. Had a room a the back of the hotel so was also very quiet despite hotel being very busy.

Very handy for the old town, which is beautiful, has lots of good restaurants, bijoux shops, and a great market. Rooms are clean. Decent sized shower with good water pressure. Sensible checkout time (noon). But... Standard room is very small, has no tea/coffee making, small thin towels, not enough hooks or electricity sockets. Underground parking is charged, but the pedestrian door is often left unlocked so the car's contents are at risk. Free underground parking a short walk away.

Friendly staff. Good English skillls. Very clean room though a bit stark in its decor. Quiet. Very good selection of TV channels including BBC 1 and 2. More than one chair would have been nice as this was a double room. The room was big enough for it. No bathroom, but I didn't mind. Some might. An easy walk from the railway station. Town centre very close.

Good location for the old town within 100 metres with lots of shops, restaurants and medieval buildings. Small amount of paid-for parking on site but plenty within 50 metres. Rooms very good.

We asked for specific rooms to cater for our family, who travelled with us. We also asked for reserved car parking. All our requests were met, which made our holiday stress-free. We’ve been here five times before, and would certainly return in the future.
