Hotel 2-star in Nantes

Presentation

The B&B Hotel Nantes Parc Expos La Beaujoire announces itself even before you arrive: the masts of the Beaujoire stadium rise at the end of the street, just a few minutes’ walk away. It is immediately clear that you are in the northern district of Nantes, the one for match nights and trade fairs at the nearby Parc des Expositions.

The entrance is simple, with no fuss. A basic reception, a welcome that gets straight to the point. The corridors serving the 60 rooms run outside, in open-air galleries, a common setup for this type of property: it lets in air and light, but requires you to step outside briefly to reach the parking lot or the breakfast room.

In the room, the air conditioning hums quietly. The 160 cm bed comes with Bultex bedding and a duvet you notice as soon as you settle in after a day of walking. A desk, a wardrobe with hangers, a bathroom with a shower: nothing superfluous, everything you need for a short stay. Some rooms, with a mezzanine, offer a little more space for those staying two nights.

On the ground floor, breakfast is served from 6:30 a.m. to 10:00 a.m. on weekdays, and a little later on weekends. Bread, pastries, fruit juice, hot drinks, a simple moment before heading out to a meeting or to the stands. The only drawback: it must be booked in advance, directly with the hotel, which means planning the next day’s breakfast the day before.

The enclosed, free parking reassures those arriving by car from the region. Pets are accepted for an extra €6 per night, and some rooms are designed for wheelchair users.

Nantes’ historic center, with the Château des Ducs de Bretagne and the narrow streets of the Bouffay district, is about twenty minutes away by tram, line 1, Haluchère-Batignolles stop. You won’t wander there on foot from La Beaujoire, but the tram drops you right in the heart of the city, with no hassle.

In the evening, if hunger strikes late, a self-service microwave is available to reheat a meal brought from outside.

One last tip: leave early on a match morning for the stadium, right next door. The street fills up quickly in the hour before kickoff.
