Although we had difficulty in finding this small hotel in the maze of narrow one way streets that appear to be the norm in this part of Le Mans, we were greeted upon arrival by a very friendly and informative English speaking young man on reception. I had booked the hotel with a view to doing some sightseeing over a... More

I had been a stupid cheapskate and booked into another hotel in Le Mans (see my other reviews to work out which one) and we had decided to find another hotel immediately. A quick search showed the Hotel Le Charleston and we walked out, found it, inspected the rooms and then checked in. It is super. The chap on reception... More

The Hotel rooms, reception area, courtyard relaxation area and dining facilities were very nicely presented. My young family and I received impeccable service from the staff and in particular a friendly and helpful Sylvain. The staff were so professional and courteous. The facilities were spotlessly clean and the rooms well appointed. Generous breakfast. 10 minutes walk from centre of Le... More

We decide to visit this unknown city ( or not enough known ) city betwen Paris and Nantes. We were looking for a good value for money hotel with a easy location. The Hotel Emeraude was the perfect location. Very nice welcome. Cosy breakfast room and lobby. The receptionnist gived us smart advice to visit the city.

Great little private townhouse hotel just off the city centre, with friendly proprietor. Good base to get into the city centre and have dinner and a walkabout. Comfortable rooms, perfectly well appointed, but no aircon! They have an underground car park too which is handy if you don't want to unpack the car. Beware the one way streets though, navigation...
