We stayed here for two nights towards the end of August 2008 and found Brest to be quiet. Quite exceptionally quiet being the period of conges annuelle. Reception was cool, indifferent and charmless. Why should customers have to make all the running, when it is us who is paying the bill?
The stench of cold stale tobacco is not really acceptable in a bedroom in these days of strictly enforced no smoking policies. (I am not the first Trip Advisor reader to comment adversely on this.) The balcony was dirty and the sliding windows very dificult to move.
Inexcusable was the fact that by 1515 hrs on our second day here our room had not been 'done'. On complaining to reception a reluctant staff member offered no apology or explanation.
Breakfast is good and the art deco lobby is a delight to behold.
