Great position close to all the sights, and it was easy to find by car, plus you could stop outside to unload your luggage. The room was spotlessly clean, and very comfortable. Car parking was very close to the hotel, and secure. Parking was also free which was an added bonus. We would definitely stay here again.

Nothing really - it was all first class. One tip: when going to the car park, the entrance is not obvious. Entry is through a gap in the hedge, into a small outside car park and then to the covered parking. It took us awhile to notice the entrance!

It’s a short stroll away from everywhere you would want to visit, very close to the shops and centre. It’s an historic building so you have to take that I to account but has everything you need and the staff were really friendly. It was the only place we visited on this tour that had USB charges in the room. Breakfast was nice and fresh.

Really hot nights when we were there and no air con ( due to age and style of the building) couldn’t be helped. The shower was a little weak but adequate.

Location excellent - very central, good nearby restaurants (recommend ‘21 ‘ down street fron hotel), as and (hilly) walking distance from castle, main tourist site. Also unusually helpful engaged staff. The bedroom was small, as expected for 2-star, but adequate and the shower was outstanding. Breakfast okay, entirely self-service.

Nothing really. The promise of free parking nearby didn’t work out but close-enough paid-for parking was fine especially at €1.50 for a whole day.

Location, in the centre of the lovely town of Fougeres was perfect; the bedroom was 'basic' but the bed was comfortable, the bathroom was up to date and the whole experience was perfect. Good breakfast, but if you only want a croissant and a coffee then ten euro is expensive. If you want more, then god value.

Staff on arrival were pre-occupied with a problem. Luckily another gentleman came and made us feel welcome and explained the best place to park and gave us a local map. Receptionists could have said hello and explained they were dealing with a problem. Staff the following morning were lovely.

We have been coming here for years en route to western Brittany and it’s always been a great place to stay a night or two. Charming central location on a lovely street surrounded by historic buildings, clean and pleasant rooms, nice staff, relaxed vibe. The church bells opposite chime at intervals through the day and night but we find that charming (ear plugs do the trick if you are sensitive to noise while sleeping).

A great location. Not far from the castle ( just down a steep hill )Friendly owner who let us park our motorbike safely down an alley away from the road. Offered us chocolates and the breakfast was good value at 10 Euros. Other staff were friendly too. A basic room but was clean and everything we needed, though I do prefer two pillows . There was a kettle but don't forget to bring your own milk if you like milk with your tea and coffee. Good value for money. The owner kindly let us stop till midday so we had time to go to the castle.

Nothing

Friendly staff. Good central location. Room was very nice.

Storage for bicycles was outside in a rather dirty back alley along with the rubbish. The bikes were under cover but not in a locked area. Bring a lock!

nice traditional hotel right in the centre of the interesting town of Fougeres. Handy for the castle, for many restaurants, shops etc. Also the hotel has a resident cat!

We stayed in August, the lack of air conditioning was a little uncomfortable; however, rooms have nice big double windowns for ventilation

Hotel Balzac is ideally located at the top of Fougères, we were a one-minute walk from a plaza with some nice bars, cafes, and restaurants. We received a perfect welcome from staff who were very patient with our broken French. I would recommend staying here and will visit again.

The only downside to our stay was the toilet made a lot of noise, it worked efficiently and was well-stocked but thought it may be too loud to use at night - this may not be the case so it is worth asking - Also the shower door wouldn't stay in place, but that wasn't much of a problem as the showers still worked great. Our only other downside is I never ordered breakfast, as we had a morning of exploring planned, the smell from the freshly baked pastries in the morning made me very jealous! So definitely try the breakfast!

Nice clean rooms with comfortable beds. Friendly staff.

No parking on site or even close by. We paid for breakfast and there wasn’t hardly anything to choose from. There was a busy market the morning we checked out so we had to haul our luggage through the market and 15 minutes to our car.
