Hôtel Océan Dinan

A superb welcome. We were warmly greeted, given a map of the town and recommended half a dozen restaurants. Our bags were taken to our room and an extra pillow provided. Just the sort of hospitality to make one feel wanted! The room was a good size and comfortable. A bonus was that the loo was in a separate little room from the shower. The continental breakfast was good. Parking was easy outside the station, 50 metres from the hotel and free from 1900 to 0900.

For our night in Dinan, we wanted a hotel near the train station (this hotel is right across the street!) and near the old city (10 minutes walk). We booked a superior double room. We were informed in an email that reception was closed between noon and five pm. We arrived early so that the hotel was able to store our luggage. The manager very kindly opened reception earlier to accommodate his customers. The room was large, well lit and newly renovated. It faced the train station and the square. There was no coffee maker in the room. It offered many accessible plugs for our various appliances. Since there were no patisseries nearby we decided to have the hotel breakfast. It consisted of a buffet: coffee, teas, hot chocolate, fruit juice, bread, pastries, brioche, toast, cereals, fresh fruit, dried fruit, fruit salad, dairy products, etc. It cost €8.50 each, a reasonable price for France. This is a reasonably priced hotel offering everything that one needs, with very friendly and helpful service within walking distance of everything Dinana has to offer.
