Bateau Libre Hotel

Clean, great location, calm at night, big windows that you can open to enjoy the ocean breeze, we got a great view to the bay area. The bed is super comfortable, the toilette and shower area super clean and with good water pressure. The room is good in size, we had an entry area to leave the shoes and coats the size of a closet, two desks to work or get ready and a full size mirror. Will definitely go back.

Limited parking spaces but we were lucky enough to find one just in front of the hotel.

Nice property, clean and rooms with nice design, great evening environment with the best apéro dînatoire plate we ever had. The welcoming and amazing staff made it all the better.

Excellent stay - outstanding customer service and lovely bar for evening and wonderful breakfast

Location, modern and clean

Lacked some essentials and personal touches, including no wardrobe space, tea and coffee facilities. Bar only open on the Friday evening during our 3 night stay.

Jean has been extremely nice and helpful since we arrived. The location is excellent, and the room is large and industrial chic.

The room might get warm if windows are not kept open during the day.

What an incredible stay. The hotel was so comfortable. It was in an ideal position between the beach and the port. A stunning stay. My father was in a wheelchair and the facilities were amazing. Such a lovely owner,so helpful. A must stay hotel. 5 star.

Nothing absolutely perfect

We liked the bedroom and the powerful shower. The staff were so nice. The bar was fun and barmen were very helpful. It was good that we did not hear other guests at night.

Only that it didn’t have a lift, I just presumed it would have one. The lady on reception changed our room straight away from the second to the first floor and offered to have the bags taken to the room.

Jean and his team were most helpful and very friendly. Our room was clean,spacious,bright and very comfortable. The terrace was enormous! Breakfast was delicious and all this made our stay very memorable.

Clean , tidy and a great breakfast

Amazing and unique atmosphere. Exceptional vibes that is in perfect harmony with its location. A few steps away from the beach (literally 2mins), very cosy, each room is uniquely set up, very clean, it is the perfect fit for a great Brittany experience. The lounge/lobby offers great times and makes rainy days feel as great as sunny days.Beds are amazing. Very quiet location, a few minutes walk away from everything.Jean-Etienne is an amazing host, always available and made us feel at home right from the start.Breakfast is pretty great and offers gluten free options!

Honestly can't remember of anything I would have liked to be different.

Very sweet place. Contemporary, clean, amazing manager and staff, good location, good breakfast.

A very comfortable hotel in a perfect location for the little port of Bénodet. The host is very friendly and we appreciated the welcome drink. Our room was lovely, large, airy very clean and with a wonderful comfortable big bed. We liked the decor in the bedroom, dining room and the bar area - modern industrial/retro chic. We liked the breakfasts. Nearby parking was easy and free.We would highly recommend and would definitely stay here again.

Not really a criticism but worth knowing that on Sundays the bar serves only drinks no snacks or meals and that on Monday and Tuesday the bar is closed. As we stayed on Sunday, Monday and Tuesday, therefore, we didn't experience the bar atmosphere or get to order any of the bar meals. As ever with many hotels in France there is no kettle in the room so you can't make your morning cup of tea! We forgot to bring our portable kettle.

The beds were confortable.The location was good.

The owner Jean-Etienne was despicable.The hotel stating that animals are allowed, we brought our cat.We had given instructions not to leave the windows wide open, so that the cat could not jump out.The owner decided without our knowledge to enter the room and open the windows wide all day, because he thought the cat smelled too strong.When confronted, the owner was awful, mocking our concern for our animal, and threatening not to keep us for the night (at 7pm) and charge us extra cost.Regarding the breakfast, it was underwhelming for a price of 12 euros. It was not a proper buffet because some of the food is rationed per person (ham, cheese, cottage cheese). The drinks and food that are available freely do not have a great variety (two non-fresh bottled juices, hot water and coffee, some bread and some cereals, a basket with a few fruits, and some nuts…).I have seen better for the price. I would have liked to see pastries, yogurts, and some eggs in any form.

Very nice a breakfest room and a bar, tasty breakfest

Everything! The location of the hotel is perfect, right in the town centre so a very short walk (100 mts) to the Quayside area and beaches. the hotel was immaculately clean and fresh and the hosts were very friendly helpful and attentive. We had chosen the room with a terrace. The room was on the first floor with a rooftop terrace looking out across the village square. A lovely place to enjoy a glass of wine in the evening to watch the sun go down, it’s also very handy to hang your wet towels and swimsuits after a visit to the beach.The hotel decor was modern and fresh and breakfast was an amazing selection of breads, preserves, yoghurts and meats and cheeses. We will definitely return!

There really was nothing!

The warm, authentic welcome, the laid back, homely atmosphere and the breakfast highlighting local products

The staff were exceptional, bed was comfortable, shower was big and good pressure, location was perfect.

Good location, helpful staff. Really nice vibe. Very comfortable bed. Really liked the bar and communal areas.

Bateau Libre is in a lovely location close to the port in Benodet and within walking distance of the main town, beaches. and restaurants. We loved the way the renovation had used materials that acknowledged the character and age of the property while giving the best of modern bedding, bathrooms and furnishing. Our room had the great advantage of having a beautiful terrace.

The only things that could have improved our stay would have been tea/coffee facilities in our room and a larger waste bin in the bathroom.

Superb newly renovated hotel, very cool vibe. Very nice rooms. Great breakfast, very helpful staff. Also v nice during the day/early evening to have drinks or just relax outside or in the communal room.

ideally would have wished to have slightly more storage space in bedroom and bathroom
