We read reviews on Tripadvisor and found them pretty much spot on. Yes, it's near a major road - but you didn't notice. Yes, it's at the back of a shopping centre - not a problem (in fact, very useful for supplies). And yes, no matter what we did to the aircon, it remained at boiling point!
Pontivy is located centrally in Brittany - good for exploring the regions. The hotel was clean, quiet, with unobtrusive but friendly staff. The room size and layout was good, especially the space in the shower room (which is a pod installation).
Breakfast in the Court Paille restaurant was serve yourself excellence, we also used it for one evening meal which was also very good. We didn't eat dinner there again because there was a lack of choice for vegetarians but found two excellent resatuarants in Pontivy (one opposite the chateau and one fronting the river).
It's a shame we paid for wifi before we noticed the free offer.
