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

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.

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.

There really was nothing!

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!

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.

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.

I loved the aesthetic of the hotel, so cool and thought through. The location was perfect for us, a short walk from the ferry to Sainte Marine and excursions on the Odet river and out to the islands and also very easy to get to beautiful beaches. The staff were incredibly helpful and very knowlegable. The breakfast was fantastic, all of the 'usuals' but with a few other extras included, we particularly liked the yogurt with raspberry coulis and lime zest. A truly excellent hotel that deserves top marks for every aspect of our stay

Breakfast was actually really nice, but lacked some variation: everyday was the same. Nevertheless: top quality. Coffee was OK, but we prefer a bit stronger taste.

Beautiful boutique hotel with lovely interior. Great music in the bar, nice tapas-style food. Breakfast was good. Possibly the friendliest staff ever! They really make you feel at home. Family room was also great: 2 separate bedrooms, one with a large double bed and one with two single beds. Ideal for a family with 2 teenagers.

There was nothing we didnt like about our stay

Staff very welcoming & helpful, pleasant surroundings & nice atmosphere

Stayed in July 2022

Privacy blinds/curtains would be a good addition as we had to keep the curtains closed. A couple of comfortable chairs in the room.

We were met with a warm welcome. Throughout our stay the staff were delightful. The place was scrupulously clean - hats off to housekeeping! Our room was very large; the bed was very comfortable and the shower was great. A pleasant continental breakfast. We had no problem parking on the road adjacent to the hotel; if roadside parking isn't available there are car parks near the quayside. All in all a pleasant stay.

Adorable staff, great little restaurant, and the location can’t be beat, we would gladly stay again!

They're going for a not-a-hotel feeling. So no "do not disturb" door hanger or other way to communicate you don't want your room cleaned. And a single physical key, no keycards.

Very welcoming staff. The service was fantastic. All the facilities are very clean and look very nauticaly trendy. Great breakfast, served in the cafe or at the communal table. Breakfast included the usual bread spread with local honey and jams. Also had cheese (loved the St Nectaire!), saucisson, fruit, yogurt, and granola. The family room is *big*. It's 2 rooms really, with a door you can close between the parents and the kids' room. The bathtub looks glorious, though we didn't have the time to draw a bath. You don't really get the feeling you're staying at a hotel. It feels like staying at a friend's. A friend with very good taste in interior decor and a housekeeper.

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.

The beds were confortable. The location was good.
